I took this using LightRoom. It allows you to choose the ISO and shutter speed. This photo was with 1/800s shutter speed, 100 ISO, and f/2.8 aperture.

Doesn’t Samsung just overlay moon.jpg when it detects you’re framing the moon irl?
My best shot EVER on my 14pro max. Literally had to stand there for 20 mins and eventually I got a decent pic! I don’t think it gets any better than this lmao most of the time when I try to photograph the moon it’s just a white blob.
You can try going into video, zooming all the way in, start recording and tap and slide down the exposure and use that button in the bottom right to take individual pictures
I took this on the iPhone 13 Pro. Cropped and then edited in Lightroom mobile
Shot on iPhone 6s
Saw this advice once from u/seoulitude and kept it as a screenshot. Haven’t had a chance to try it yet:
“set the video to 4k60fps > click the telephoto lens and zoom in > tap your subject and lock the focus > lower the exposure / drag the sun dial down > take a video > take the photo”
Honestly I'll stick to my samsung galaxy with the whole ass camera built into it
Use a camera, not your phone. Probably not the answer you were looking for, but it’s the truth. You need a physically much larger sensor to get high resolution at long distances.
ISO 25 , 77mm , 1/640 , iPhone 13 Pro
Wait how? I have an iPhone 13 and I can never get anything like this without a telescope what app did you use.
What’s 77mm in 5yearold terms?
I watched an IG post the other day that said you should focus your camera on the furthest thing away from you that you can, then use the focus lock and then adjust the exposure if you need too.
Just get a photo of a moon and place it over the one in your photo *cough*
wtf happened to my photo lmao
One I took on my old 13 pro max…I have 2 others but photo reply won’t let me post all 3 in one comment.
I'm not an iPhone user at all, but I've heard around that just try to experiment with exposure and brightness and what not. I think the 15 Pros camera is a step up but I'm not sure about astrophotography. Just try to experiment with a couple settings, don't worry if the moon looks dark when you are taking the photo as you can edit it later! Hope this helped any 🌚
Fun fact: most modern day android phones aren’t actually taking a picture of the moon either. The software approximates the picture and fills in the gaps using stock images.
iPhone’s, and probably some other Android phones too don’t do that. Just look how bad quality most of the pictures on this thread are. If they were computer generated, they wouldn’t look that noisy. I know Samsung does that thing you’re talking about because there’s a setting.
There are some good videos on this with just the standard camera app. And in handy during a lunar eclipse
I can't agree more. IPhone hates moon. I tried so many times on 15 pro max. Lack of focus and exposure control on camera app probably cause it. Also, you may notice it keeps on changing lenses while you try to focus on the moon.
