On iPhone 18 Pro<\/a> and \u200ciPhone 18 Pro\u200c Max, Apple’s new Pro controls in the Camera app allow you to adjust various aspects of the camera’s settings, turning the app into a much more flexible photography tool. Here we explain how to adjust the shutter speed on the new \u200ciPhone 18 Pro\u200c models, and why you might want to do so.<\/p>\n

On \u200ciPhone 18 Pro\u200c, the new Pro Controls expand what you can adjust in the Camera app. They allow you to take greater control over aperture, shutter speed, and white balance, and even adjust the distribution of brightness via a histogram so that you can judge exposure, rather than you relying entirely on automatic decisions.<\/p>\n

The new shutter speed control ranges from 1\/1600 of a second to a full second. At 1\/1600 second, the exposure is extremely brief. This freezes motion well and reduces blur from camera shake, but it lets in much less light. It’s useful for moving subjects, bright scenes, or when you want a very crisp frame.<\/p>\n

At the other end of the scale (1 second) the sensor gathers light for a full second. This lets in far more light, but anything moving during that second can blur. Bear in mind that hand movement can also soften the image, so a tripod or very steady support becomes more important at this setting.<\/p>\n

In summary, faster speeds freeze motion but let in less light, while slower speeds gather more light at the expense of increased motion blur. Here’s a general rule of thumb:<\/p>\n

1\/1600s: Allows in less light \u279d less motion blur.
\n1\/250s: fairly fast \u279d useful for everyday movement.
\n1\/60s: slower, more light \u279d some risk of blur.
\n1\/4s: much more light \u279d obvious motion blur possible.
\n1s: very bright exposure in low light \u279d strong blur if anything moves.<\/p>\n

Follow these steps to adjust the shutter speed on \u200ciPhone 18 Pro\u200c and \u200ciPhone 18 Pro\u200c Max:<\/p>\n

In the Camera app, tap the button with six dots at the bottom-right of the interface.
\nSelect Shutter Speed from the control pane.
\nDrag the shutter speed slider to adjust, from 1\/1600 to 1 second. (Tap the A button at any point to return to Auto mode.)
\nWhen you’re happy with the white balance setting, tap the shutter button to take your photo.<\/p>\n
