iPhone 12 Pro Max My photo quality seems to be pretty bad

[Savage]

My photo quality often seems off. I know the 12 Pro Max is capable of taking great photos because I’ve seen them. But I often get photos like the one below. Zoom in.

Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas?

I have scene detection off and smart hdr off and it seems good for me. And where did you focus on in that photo?
First time i saw a Demi God user xD

 

[now i see it]

I agree that photo looks horrible

I focused the truck. I was wondering if it has to do with those settings.

Zoomed in and now you see it.

I think I see what's off here. That shot was captured with the ultra wide lens according to the metadata, yet doesn't really need to be ultra wide and, I can't tell if it's the forum or the photo is artificially cropped as it's not as big as the native 4032x3024 that it should be straight off the sensor. I would back up and shoot with the standard lens, and not mess with any in-between zoom levels besides 0.5x, 1x, and 2.5x, and avoid cropping the images too much unless you're shooting on the regular wide lens/bigger sensor in ProRAW - Zoom with your feet. The ultra wide can put out some nice images, but not as crisp as the reg lens, and it has no room for cropping while maintaining quality (which is what you're doing if you shoot at any zoom level between 0.5 and 1x).

I get results that I think are nothing short of insane out of this camera, it's easily my favorite thing to shoot on out of the many real camera bodies I have. Awesome rig by the way. Wish I had the space for long haul overlanding!

That photo looks awesome to me. 🤷‍♂️ Or maybe my eye sight isn't that great. 😂

You must be right about the ultra wide. But I don’t intentionally shoot with the ultra wide so I must’ve slightly zoomed out by accident or there is a software/hardware glitch somewhere.

When I get a chance I’ll check the metadata on the other photos from that day.

Nice rig.

Additionally check wether you activated preferences->general->iPad storage->optimize photos.

Wish I could take a photo that good.
