What does this mean? The features of this iPhone SE will be simpler than other, more advanced iPhones, such as the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, or iPhone 13. The all-new iPhone SE comes with a refreshed camera which changes the iPhone SE's camera specs from previous models.
- The iPhone SE has a 12 megapixel rear camera with f/1.8 focal aperture
- The iPhone SE has a 7 megapixel front-facing camera with f/2.2 focal aperture
These cameras on the iPhone SE are technically equal to those found on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8. So what is different in this third-generation iPhone SE? Above all, image processing – thanks to the A15 chip.
A15 chip Processor changes the iPhone SE's camera
Thanks to the iPhone SE's powerful processor, the photos and videos you take will look like they have been taken on a superior model. The A15 chip used in the iPhone SE can be found in the iPhone 13 Pro!
This means that Apple's most powerful chip will carry out white balance, colour grading, or noise reduction in shots taken at night.
New iPhone SE Camera Modes:
The new iPhone SE backed with the A15 Processor Chip brings new camera modes, such as:
- Portrait Mode
- Smart HDR 4
- Deep Fusion
- 4K Video Recording
The iPhone SE features a new Portrait mode
One thing the iPhone excels at is portrait mode. And, yes, the iPhone SE does it beautifully with its single rear camera. The A15 Chip detects all people, objects, or animals in photos to blur the background naturally and evenly. Take a look!
The iPhone SE camera features Smart HDR 4 and Deep Fusion
These names are probably all foreign to you, but don't worry! These features are unique to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro range.
- Smart HDR 4 automatically adjusts contrast, lighting, and skin tones to ensure that they are always balanced and completely natural.
- Deep Fusion analyses different exposures of a photo pixel by pixel to capture every last detail of textures, patterns, and nuances.
Create your own photographic style on the iPhone SE camera
Another feature of the iPhone SE, made possible thanks to the A15 chip, is the option to create photographic styles. And what are these styles? They act as smart filters. It doesn't matter whether you choose a warm or cool filter. The iPhone SE will apply all the necessary adjustments to each area of the image, without altering skin tones or sky colour. Say goodbye to those orange faces!
Super-stabilised 4K video recording on the iPhone SE
The iPhone is the best video-recording smartphone on the market, and the iPhone SE is no exception. With a 4K camera at 60fps, the video is smooth and stable from start to finish. What's more, the iPhone SE captures edges and light and dark areas equally. It'll leave you speechless!
Other iPhone SE professional camera features
- The iPhone 11 costs just AED 460 more than the iPhone SE and features an ultra-wide-angle camera and night mode.
- The iPhone 12 shoots HDR video, allowing it to capture up to 60% more colours.
