iPhone vs. Mirrorless: Can You Really Take Pro Photos with Your Phone?

Share this:

We’re debunking the myth that professional photos aren’t possible with your smartphone camera. Let’s explore how an iPhone stacks up to a mirrorless camera.

One of the worst feelings to experience as a photographer is stumbling upon an amazing photo opportunity, but you don’t have your camera on you. Professional photographers and ambitious photo hobbyists alike might squander these moments because they forget that they (almost) always have a camera on hand — their phones!

Many of us wrongly assume that photos taken on a professional grade camera automatically look better than ones snapped on your iPhone. But, with the rapid advancements in smartphone camera technology, the results can be surprising. To see how an iPhone stacks up to a mirrorless camera, I compared the two in some real photo shoots.

iPhone vs Mirrorless

When looking at the two cameras side-by-side, there are a few specifications to consider. First, let’s look at the sensors of smartphones vs mirrorless cameras. I used an iPhone 7 for this shoot which has a 12 megapixel sensor, compared to my EOS R that boasts an impressive 30.3 megapixel CMOS sensor. Objectively speaking, the EOS R sensor can collect more than double the amount of information. For lenses I was using around the same focal length. On the iPhone 7 there is a 28mm wide lens with a f/1.8 aperture, and on the EOS R I was using a Canon L series 16-35mm with a f/2.8 aperture.

Between the image sensors and the lenses used, you’re obviously going to get a sharper, bigger file from the mirrorless camera. But, these factors don’t mean the image from one source will automatically be better than the other.

This isn’t the only mirrorless camera we’ve done! Check out our film vs digital video to see how mirrorless compares to old school photography.

Can You Tell the Difference?

I want to conduct a little experiment. Below, I’ve attached two similar photos side by side, one taken on my iPhone 7, and the other on my Canon EOSR. Before you scroll down to the next section of this article, try to guess which one is which. I’ll wait!

Locked your guesses in?

All of the A photos were taken on my iPhone, and Bs on my mirrorless camera. There’s no way of me knowing if you got them right or not, but I did conduct this experiment with my brother and he guessed 1/3 correctly. It’s important to note that he is by no means a photographer, and his rule of thumb is the sharper the photo, the higher the quality.

I, as an *artiste* and photographer, can appreciate the beauty created by Canon glass (or any lens for that matter), with the shallow depth of field and soft color profile. However, the phenomenon of a sharp image perceived as higher quality seems to be quite a common opinion. That means it’s relatively easy to take a “professional-looking” photo using basic tools, like an iPhone.

For photographers, it’s easy to get carried away by the professionally shot photos we see online — the ones we’re constantly comparing our own work to. Though expensive gear can add a certain quality to your shots, sometimes it’s necessary to take a step back and use the tools that you’ve got, instead of letting gear get in the way of capturing beautiful photos. With practice and dedication to the tools you have, you might even find that you don’t really need that gear upgrade after all.

A Few Tips for Better Photos on Your Smartphone

1. Expose the Photo In-Camera

One of the advantages of shooting photos on a DSLR or mirrorless camera is the ability to shoot RAW photos. When you shoot in RAW, the camera captures a flat profile with a lot of information about the image, so that when you go to edit it in post, you can manipulate the photo with a lot more flexibility. In comparison, your smartphone takes photos in JPGs, which doesn’t capture nearly as much information. When you’re taking photos on your smartphone, it’s important to try and expose your images as best as possible in camera so that you need the least amount of edits afterwards, to keep it looking natural.

One trick for iPhone users is to click on the screen to focus on an object. There should be a little slider on the right side of the focus square that pops up. If you click and drag on that slider up and down, you’ll adjust the exposure of the image. This way, if you adjust your exposure before taking the photo, you’ll have a much better base image to work with!

2. Reduce the Sharpness in Post

I’m not a huge fan of the overly sharpened look, so I like to go into some editing software and reduce that down so it’s not as pronounced when I finalize the photo and post it on Instagram. Obviously, this is a matter of taste. You may love how detailed and sharp they appear, so keep it if you want. However, if you’re trying to not make it as apparent that your photo was taken on a phone, reducing the sharpness is an easy fix.

3. Play to Your Smartphone’s Strengths

Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of your smartphone’s photos can help you play to its strengths and avoid highlighting negatives as much as possible.

• For example, most smartphone cameras create this digital blur effect when you focus on an object in the foreground to recreate depth of field, similar to a camera lens. Using this technique, you can capture really beautiful images that emulate the real thing!

A simple image with a professional touch.

• Symmetry is literally your best friend. There’s something about a well composed photo that, no matter what it’s shot on, looks professional. On most smartphone camera apps, you have the option to use the built-in rule of thirds grid to help you compose your photos properly. Use it to your advantage!

This may sound a little harsh but, aside from the quality of your smartphone, it’s not the camera’s fault if you’re taking mediocre photos.

I’m a firm believer in outgrowing your gear. Once you get to the point where you feel like there’s no possible way you can take the photos that you want to take with your smartphone anymore, and you’re serious about photography, it may be time to upgrade. For the most part, it’s so awesome to have a compact little camera on us at all times. Go out and use it to your advantage!

Ten tips for taking great photos with your iPhone

The iPhone is a fantastic device for snapping pictures: It has excellent hardware, smart software, and it’s easy enough for your grandmother to use. It has limitations, as any camera does, but you can work around most of them by being smart about your snapping. Here are ten of my favorite tips to help you along the way.

1. Use the iPhone camera shortcut

There are lots of great third-party camera apps out there, but if you want a quick shot of your tiny cousins being cute or a rare appearance of the family cat, you need speed on your side — speed that you may not get if you have to unlock your device, find your app, tap on the icon, and wait for it to load.

Swipe up on the iPhone camera shortcut from the Lock screen, however, and you can quickly take that picture with no significant wait time. You can also do something similar while in an app or on your Home screen by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to launch Control Center, then tapping on the Camera button.

2. Experiment with third-party apps

If you’re not in a rush to snap a quick shot, I suggest downloading some of the third-party manual camera apps available. Apple’s opened a bunch of controls up to developers, including shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and exposure, which means that you can often snap a photo with much more clarity than you would be able to from the default camera application.

Bonus tip: Though you can’t assign the camera shortcut buttons to third-party apps, you can put those apps in your Dock, so that they’re easily accessible from any part of your Home screen.

3. Target your shooting mode around your end result

Apple’s default camera app offers a variety of different modes for taking pictures, including panorama, square, and photo. It may seem like common-sense instruction, but I find that it really helps to shoot in the mode you plan to publish for — for instance, when I’m taking pictures I want to post to Instagram, I shoot in square mode rather than shooting in photo mode and cropping the image afterward. It helps you better frame your picture, rather than trying to invent new framing after-the-fact.

4. Follow the rule of thirds

Your iPhone has a grid option available, which can aid you in lining up photographs so that they follow the rule of thirds. You can turn this option on by visiting Settings > Photos & Camera and enabling the Grid switch.

I prefer to keep it on at all times, so that it’s there as an aid and a reminder, but you can switch it off at any time by returning to the Photos & Camera preference screen.

5. Turn off your flash

Recent generations of the iPhone flash are much improved upon their predecessors, but at the end of the day, the flash is still just an LED light: It’s just not that powerful, and even with the TrueTone technology it can occasionally emit a strange hue onto your photographs.

Instead, try shooting in natural lighting sources, or if you’re shooting at night, use the Camera app’s exposure slider to boost light in the photo. If you don’t mind carrying around a little bit of extra gear, I also recommend Photojojo’s Pocket Spotlight, which emits considerably more light than your iPhone’s tiny flash.

6. Use Burst mode for action shots

Chasing around a bunch of kids? Going on a bumpy ride? Attempting sports photography? Whatever the case, burst mode (available for the iPhone 5s and up) might be just the option you’re looking for to capture the best images. Apple included burst mode originally for snapping clear pictures of moving subjects, but I find it works well when your camera is moving, too — by snapping images in quick succession, you’re more likely to get a clear shot and you have more options to choose from.

To shoot in Burst mode, just tap and hold down the shutter button (or volume up button) when you want to begin. While holding down the shutter button, you’ll see a counter appear at the bottom of the screen, letting you know how many shots you’ve snapped. To stop shooting, just lift up your finger and the burst will be saved to your Camera Roll.

7. Turn on HDR Auto

Your iPhone comes with a software feature called High Dynamic Range, or HDR: This lets you snap photos that may have high contrast light sources (say, a bright sunset against a darkening mountain) and still capture a nice image without distorting either the light or the dark area of the picture. Your iPhone does this by snapping several pictures in quick succession at different exposures, then merging them together to create a unified image.

You can manually turn HDR on or off from the Camera app, but I prefer iOS 8’s HDR Auto (available for the iPhone 5s and up) — it uses information from your iPhone’s sensor as you point your device at a subject to determine when an image might need HDR correction, and only then does it turn on HDR mode. (You’ll know HDR is enabled by the little yellow «HDR» box that appears at the bottom of the screen.) This can save a little bit of extra storage space on your device, and prevents you from shooting HDR unnecessarily.

8. Hold down a spot on your viewfinder to lock focus

If you’re trying to shoot macro photography or want to prevent your iPhone’s camera from attempting to grab a different subject in the frame, it can be incredibly useful to lock your focus point on your current subject.

You can do this by tapping and holding on the subject in question until you see the yellow AE/AF Lock alert. This means that the automatic exposure metering and automatic focus metering have been locked on your subject; to remove the lock, just tap anywhere else on the frame.

9. Slide the exposure meter to brighten (or darken) images

If an image is too blown out or underexposed for your liking, you can fix it before snapping the picture by adjusting the yellow exposure slider next to the focus square.

Just tap once on the focus square and exposure slider, then use the sun icon to increase your exposure by sliding upward, or decrease exposure by sliding downward.

10. Snap photos with the volume button

Because the iPhone is so thin, tapping the digital shutter button can cause camera shake and blur the photo you’re trying to take. Instead, you can use the volume up button when in the Camera app to snap a photo — and avoid camera shake entirely.
