How to enable and disable camera focus presets on iPhone 15 Pro

On Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro models, users can switch between three preset camera focal lengths when shooting on the main camera. This article explains what they are and how to enable or disable them on your iPhone.

To take full advantage of the enhanced camera system on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple has added three popular focal length options to the main camera’s optical zoom. There are default 24mm (equivalent to 1x optical zoom), 28mm (1.2x optical zoom), and 35mm (1.5x optical zoom).

Apple delivers these specific focal lengths to photography enthusiasts by using computational processing to convert the 48-megapixel images the new larger sensor can capture, so the result is always a high-resolution 24MP image.

You can manually switch photo lengths by changing the optical zoom settings in the Camera app. Tapping the circled 1x icon at the bottom of the viewfinder switches between 28mm focal length (1.2x optical zoom) and 35mm focal length (1.5x optical zoom), and then back to 1x optical zoom.

Disable Focus Presets

If you find this behavior in the Camera app unnecessary or frustrating, you can follow the steps below to disable it.

1. Open the "Settings" app.
2. Scroll down and tap Camera.
3. Tap Main Camera.
4. Under "Additional Lenses," turn off the switches next to 28mm and/or 35mm.

#That’s all you have to do. Pressing the 1x button will now always equal 1x optical zoom.

Change Default Focal Length

Apple has also added an option to change the default optical zoom setting, which is very convenient if you use a specific focal length. The following steps demonstrate how it is done.

1. Open the "Settings" app.
2. Scroll down and tap Camera.
3. Tap Main Camera.
4. Under Default Lens, select default is 24mm – 1x, default is 28mm – 1.2 and default is 35mm – 1.5x.

That’s all. The next time you shoot, you don't need to set the focus before you start shooting – your preferred option is already selected.
