To take a good picture of the moon with an iPhone, follow these key steps:
- Use the telephoto lens if your iPhone has one, and zoom in (around 7x to 10x zoom is recommended).
- Tap on the moon on your screen to focus and then hold to lock the AE/AF (auto exposure/auto focus).
- Lower the exposure by dragging the sun icon or using the exposure slider. Lower exposure (around -2.0 or less) helps reveal more moon details.
- Use a tripod or keep the phone as steady as possible to avoid blur.
- For best results, switch to video mode, record with zoom and lowered exposure, then take a screenshot of the video to get a clear image.
- Alternatively, use a timer to reduce shake when taking the photo.
These tips help overcome limitations of the iPhone camera with bright moonlight and maximize detail capture.
