A tech how-to explains that iPhone users can capture clearer Moon photos by manually lowering two settings: exposure (set to -2EV via the camera's six-dot menu) and brightness (adjusted via a slider after tapping and holding to lock focus).

A hands-on video test using an iPhone 16 Pro Max shows that Apple's Cinematic mode still struggles with basic depth-of-field challenges, producing visible focus halos and background objects drifting in and out of focus during a simple interview setup. The tester filmed a subject seated with railings and a distant landmark behind him, revealing recurring artifacts despite the phone's far more powerful hardware than the iPhone 13 that introduced the feature.
