To turn on Night Mode on your iPhone camera, follow these steps:
- Open the Camera app and select Photo mode.
- Night Mode activates automatically when the camera detects low-light conditions. You will see a yellow moon icon in the top-left corner of the screen indicating Night Mode is on.
- If the Night Mode icon is not yellow, tap it to enable Night Mode manually.
- To adjust the exposure time (how long the camera captures light), tap the arrow at the top of the screen or swipe up on the image preview. Then tap the moon icon and use the slider above the shutter button to set the capture time between 1 second and 30 seconds. Longer exposure times make the image brighter.
- Tap the shutter button and hold your iPhone steady until the photo capture completes for the best results.
Note: Night Mode is available on iPhone 11 and newer models. You cannot turn Night Mode on manually except in low light; it activates automatically based on the lighting conditions. For the best Night Mode photos:
- Use a tripod or a stable surface to hold your iPhone steady.
- Avoid zooming in as it can reduce image quality.
- Incorporate ambient light sources, like street lights or candles, to add atmosphere.
These instructions will help you take bright, detailed photos in low-light environments using the iPhone Night Mode camera feature.
