![]() ![]() With this 'Capture photos outside the frame' mode on, there is no cropping involved as you are literally taking your pick of the frame from a much larger canvas. This is activated by going to Edit > Crop > Auto adjust or selecting the different frames sizes and orientations prompted. Under normal circumstances, you could fix the horizon when in the crop mode, but it would also crop the image. This lets you recompose the shot in post-processing, in case you have cut out a critical portion in the frame or if the horizon isn’t horizontal. This mode is off by default, but what it basically does is capture a bit of the area above/below and from the sides of the frame, you may have shot. In the camera settings, there is an option called ‘Capture photos outside the frame’. With the new sensor coming with 100 percent focus pixels, focus acquisition is fast.Īpple iPhone 11 Pro Max capturing outside the frame. Even shooting against the light gives a great output. It exposes the bright and dark areas optimally so that you get a higher dynamic range. The dynamic range on the iPhone 11 Pro Max cameras is amazing. All three lenses - wide, telephoto and ultra-wide - perform quite well. There is nothing really to complain about here. Photographs shot in daylight are pleasing. It just does not have enough punch or clarity when it comes to low light selfies - and no, the Night Mode does not work on the front camera. If you dig selfies in low lit situations, the crown clearly belongs to the Pixel 3 XL. The iPhone 11 Pro Max in comparison performed poorly in both selfies and portrait mode selfies, in low light. The Huawei P30 Pro failed to give a portrait photo despite choosing that mode, although its AI mode lights up dark scenes well when you are taking a selfie. The compute magic offered by Pixel 3 XL is unmatched till date. One area where the Pixel 3 XL excels is in selfies and portrait mode shots at night. Yes, noise does creep in but that’s unavoidable. It is difficult to put a finger on which of these three is the best in low light photography as all three give a pleasing output when viewed on the smartphone display. Huawei P30 Pro in AI mode gives strange colours but with the AI mode off, it gave great images. The low light output of the iPhone 11 Pro Max is comparable with the Pixel 3XL on most counts. If you are a photography enthusiast and want to play around with the photos on your large screen monitor, then you will notice noise when working with 100 percent crops.ġ00 percent crop of the above image taken from the iPhone 11 Pro Max (left) and the Google Pixel 3XL (right) shows that Pixel 3XL was able to light up the scene better and has comparatively lesser noise. On the phone, the images look fabulous and that’s good enough for most iPhone users. The overall image quality in low light was pleasing. This is much better than the Pixel's frozen image and countdown timer. You see them gradually take form and get brighter as the low-light timer runs down. On a side note, I love how the images are captured in low light mode. Phones like the Pixel and P30 Pro tend to turn night into day, which isn't usually the objective of the photographer. One advantage the iPhone has here is that evening and night mode shots look like they were taken in low light.

Apple claims to do that as well, but in my sample shots, I didn’t see that happening. This wasn’t the case with Huawei and Pixel phones, which use AI to get rid of the blurry portions to give you a well-lit, detailed scene. The Night Mode on the iPhone 11 Pro series does exposure bracketing and captures everything in the scene in a way that if there is any movement within the scene, it is captured as a blur. However, you can turn it off if you don’t want it - but I doubt anyone would do that. This activates based on the luminosity of light around you - you can’t manually activate it. Right off the bat, the photographs shot in low light activate Night Mode automatically, which is seen in the form of a yellow, circular icon beside the flash icon. You won’t regret taking iPhone 11 Pro Max on your evening out. Over the last few years, the iPhone has been on the back foot when it came to low light photography. The iPhone 11 Pro Max has significantly improved on this front. The iPhone XS Max (Review) couldn’t even hold a candle to Pixel 3XL. The Pixel 3XL (Review) and Huawei P30 Pro (Review) have performed excellently on the low light photography front. I took out the iPhone 11 Pro Max, Google Pixel 3XL and the Huawei P30 Pro for an evening of photography in South Mumbai. ![]() Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max with its triple camera setup. ![]()
