From what I have read and confirmed on my 15 PM, the default photo is now 24 megapixels in HEIF.
This includes Live Photos.
There is a HEIF MAX option in the Camera app that will take a 48 megapixel photo.
Because the 24 and 48 megapixel photos are stored in HEIF rather than RAW they require far less storage.
For me that makes them much more practical and usable.
I’m surprised there isn’t much discussion of these new options on the 15 Pros.
Apple didn’t seem to talk about it much in the Event.
It was odd to me to have the 48 megapixel sensor in the 14 PM but only as a RAW photo at 75 MB.
Now that we have 24 and 48 megapixels in useable file sizes I’m pretty excited. 🥳
Is it just me? Is anyone else excited about this?
I‘m sure there are photographers who can explain to me all of the shortcomings of these features, but I’m a point and shoot guy who just wants to capture memories in good quality.
