Luckily, the iPhone gives you a way to change your default camera mode, preserving your settings just how you like them. Let’s take a look at why this can be useful and how to do it.
Why You Should Change Your iPhone’s Default Camera Mode
Imagine yourself out on a trip with your friends. You’re taking a portrait of someone using Portrait Mode and have set up a filter to match the lighting. You’ve spent a good few minutes choosing between the different iPhone Camera modes, settings, and quality, to take the perfect picture.
You now close your Camera app to use your phone for a bit before getting back to taking pictures, only to find all your carefully chosen settings are lost and your app has gone back to the default Camera mode. Pretty frustrating, isn’t it?
Luckily, there’s a workaround for that. You can preserve your last used settings in the Camera app. This includes the camera mode, filter, aspect ratio, light and depth, and Live Photo settings as well. Read on to find out how to enable this feature.
How to Change Your iPhone’s Default Camera Mode
The best part about this feature is that the settings are preserved even if you shut down the app and start it up again. Follow these steps to preserve your Camera’s settings:
Open Settings and go to Camera. Tap on Preserve Settings. Turn on the toggle for Camera Mode to change the default mode. Enable Creative Controls to preserve the last used filter, aspect ratio, light and depth. And switch on Live Photo to save Live Photo settings.
Save Your Last Used Camera Settings to Take the Best Pictures
If you’re one to regularly use your iPhone to take photos (who isn’t, really?), enabling this option would be the perfect fit for you. Not having to alter the brightness and change filters every time you close the app should save tons of time and energy and make the Camera experience all the more enjoyable.
