How to Switch Focal Length in Portrait Mode on Iphone 11 Pro

This updated guide examines How to Switch Focal Length in Portrait Mode on Iphone 11 Pro and organizes the essential facts, background, and practical takeaways in clear American English.

And now, exclusively for iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max thanks to the triple-lens camera, you can switch between focal lengths in Portrait Mode to get the best shot for the scene you choose.

To use Portrait Mode, open the Camera app and swipe to Portrait Mode. The Portrait Lighting effect will appear at the bottom of the viewfinder.

To change the focal length, touch the round 1x button in the lower left corner of the viewfinder. 1x corresponds to wide lenses and 2x will allow you to switch to telephoto lenses.

You can see the difference between the two modes in the second and third images above, but in general, the 2x mode seems better for people, while the 1x lens is better for taking smaller objects.

Apple has expanded the aperture of the eiPhone 11 Pro's telephoto lens to f / 2.0 from f / 2.4 in iPhone X and XS. This allows more light to shine on the sensor.

Don't forget, now you can also switch to the front camera and take selfies in Portrait Mode.
