iPhone 13 iPhone 13 camera focus issues?

[AntonisCy]

Hi guys

Moved from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 13 a few weeks ago but today i used the camera for the first time.

I immediately noticed that when i try to take close up photos of objects the camera doesn't focus well.

I am not talking about Macro shots but objects at a distance of around 10-15cm lets say.

I used to take shots like these with the 11 and had no focus issues. But with the 13 i have to take the object further away to focus and the zoom on it to get a closer shot.

Has this got something to do with the new larger lenses? A quick google search indicates that other people have this issue too with the 13.

I couldn't replicate the issue with a friend's 13 Pro.

Thanks.

It is due to the larger lens aperture, which reduces depth of field, and it's partly why 13 Pro has macro mode for taking close ups.

Yup. Problem first appeared on my 12 pro max. Wish the 13/13 mini had the macro mode. Would be awesome

That sucks... If i knew this i would have gone with the Pro...

Yeah I wish I knew the 13/13 mini didn’t have the macro setting

I have used the Pro and due to the macro camera maybe, i don't get the same issue.
