I took various photos with the iPhone 17 Pro's three 48-megapixel cameras. A flawless camera that shows off the overwhelming performance of the Pro model.

The iPhone 17 Pro uses a newly designed body called 'hot-forged aluminum unibody,' and its appearance has changed significantly from previous Pro models. The appearance of the iPhone 17 Pro is summarized in detail in the article below.

The back of the iPhone 17 Pro is equipped with a 48-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera. While the iPhone 16 Pro had a 12-megapixel telephoto camera, the iPhone 17 Pro's main camera, ultra-wide-angle camera, and telephoto camera are all 48-megapixel. The telephoto camera also uses a next-generation tetraprism design and a 56% larger sensor.
The iPhone 17 Pro's default setting is to shoot at 24 megapixels. This time, I switched 'ProRAW and Resolution Control' to ON in the camera settings and shot at 48 megapixels. The photos in this article were originally DNG format files, which were transferred to a PC as JPEGs using the transcoding function of the image transfer app
Below is a photo taken with an ultra-wide-angle camera with the zoom set to 0.5x.
Photographed at 1x zoom.
The zoom ratio is 4x, and the telephoto camera has also been increased to 48 megapixels, allowing you to capture high-resolution photos even with telephoto shots.
Additionally, by cropping the center of the telephoto camera, you can take 12-megapixel, 8x zoom shots.
By the way, when the iPhone 17 Pro was first released, the official page stated that it had ' up to 8x optical zoom .' However, after a series of complaints that '8x zoom is achieved by cropping, so it cannot be called optical zoom,' the description was changed to ' up to 8x optical quality zoom ' at the time of writing.
I'll try taking pictures at different locations while changing the zoom ratio. First, I'll take a picture at 0.5x.
1x. Zoom in on the crow perched on the guardrail in the center of the photo.
4 times.
8x magnification. Click to see the full-size photo, and you'll see that even the outline of the feathers and the gradation of the beak have been recorded.
I took a photo of a pigeon on the street with 8x zoom. It's convenient because you can take photos from a distance where the animal won't run away.
A train heading towards Osaka was photographed at 0.5x magnification. 0.5x magnification allows for dynamic photos.
I shot at 1x magnification with the lens facing the sun. It's very resistant to backlight.
Back alley. This is a scene with a strong contrast between light and dark, with white clouds and the shadow of a roof eaves visible at the same time, but there is no noticeable blown-out or crushed highlights.
I walked to
This photo was taken at the same time as
The focus remains sharp even when you get close to the subject, so you can capture even small side dishes in large images.
Tandoor-grilled chicken. The photo was taken quite brightly.
This photo was taken at night from a pedestrian bridge over a roadway. Zooming in on the center section shows that even the unevenness of the asphalt is captured.
Photographing the road from another location.
Bus terminal. There is a ghost around the large bright light in the upper right corner.
This photo was taken with 4x zoom. It was taken at night with a telephoto lens, which makes it easy for blurring to occur, but the photo was still clear.
What particularly impressed me about using the iPhone 17 Pro was its excellent macro photography capabilities. This is what it looked like when I approached a 500 yen coin placed on a table as close as possible to focus. I could get so close to the subject that I could almost touch it.
The photo below shows the groove inside the '0' clearly.
By the way, this groove is equipped with
I'll also try taking pictures of the figures.
You can get up close to the face and take a photo like this:
When I took a macro photo of the leaf, the veins were clearly visible.
After taking various photos with the iPhone 17 Pro, I found that it has an all-around camera that can handle long, medium, and close distances equally well. It can take high-resolution photos with ultra-wide-angle and telephoto lenses, and it can also take bright photos at night. Compared to the slim iPhone Air, the iPhone 17 Pro's camera performance is overwhelmingly superior, so I felt that Apple was clearly targeting those who want a high-performance camera and those who want the romance of a slim phone.
The 256GB model of the iPhone 17 Pro is priced at 179,800 yen (tax included). It is also available on Amazon.co.jp, but is out of stock at the time of writing.
