In this video I’m walking you through the best iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max camera settings for both photography and filmmaking—because the default settings are fine, but they’re not always the settings that give you the cleanest, most consistent results. I’ll show you what I personally change first, what I leave on, and what I turn off depending on whether I’m shooting quick social content or something more “cinematic” that I know I’ll edit later. I also share practical smartphone photography tips that make a bigger difference than people expect—like how to think about lens choice, when to use add-on lenses, and how to avoid the typical iPhone look that can feel over-processed. If you want more control, I point you to my Blackmagic Camera App tutorial and my iPhone 17 Pro playlist so you can build a full workflow from capture to edit. And if you’re serious about leveling up your mobile filmmaking, I mention the gear I use to film my videos plus tools like external storage and telephoto lenses to expand what your iPhone can do.
