Sample Photos
Click on any of the following image samples to see them at full size. If you're on a slow connection, this may take some time to load, as they're very large files.
| Detail Sample | ||||
 |
Focal length: 3.85mm Aperture: f/2.8 Shutter: 1/15 ISO: 76 Given the low light levels of a wet Boston day, we're surprised that the phone didn't choose a higher ISO, which would reduce blurring by allowing a faster shutter speed. |

| Wildlife Sample | ||||
 |
Focal length: 3.85mm Aperture: f/2.8 Shutter: 1/15 ISO: 76 Once again, under low light, the iPhone chose a relatively long exposure, which in this case led to the white parts of the flowers over-exposing. |

| Sign Sample | ||||
 |
Focal length: 3.85mm Aperture: f/2.8 Shutter: 1/119 ISO: 119 The faster shutter speed and higher ISO from this image let the photo retain a lot of detail, even though it's comparatively low resolution. |

|
|
| Macro Sample | ||||
 |
Focal length: 3.85mm Aperture: f/2.8 Shutter: 1/119 ISO: 126 Even using the 'touch to focus' the camera had difficulty pulling off a proper macro shot. Given the stated aperture of f/2.8, the depth of field should be more shallow, which we're just not seeing. |
