Has this happened to you? You turn on your iPhone’s camera to take a photo, only to see something strange: Your phone seems to be switching between camera lenses on its own, throwing off your ability to take your picture. After all, how can you properly frame a shot when the lens keeps changing?
One reason this happens is because of your lighting conditions. If you try to use your zoom lens when there’s not enough light, your iPhone will instead switch to the main (also known as wide) camera and digitally zoom in. If you swap between lightning conditions, you can see this in action. It’s a weird quirk of iOS, but it doesn’t explain why the camera lens shifts when you use the wide camera, not the zoom lens. Some iPhones don’t even have a zoom lens, only a wide and an ultra-wide.
Macro Mode switches your iPhone cameras automatically
The issue stems from the iPhone’s Macro Mode, which is included in the iPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max. It has good intentions: The feature, as Apple designed it, automatically switches to the ultra-wide camera when it senses you bringing the camera up close to a subject. It then intelligently takes a photo with additional detail that looks like it came from the wide lens. That way, you’re not actually getting that iconic “ultra wide” look.
This can be a great way to get shots of close up subjects, but it makes things confusing when you’re moving between subjects and see your camera switching without notice.
How to disable Macro Mode on your iPhone
If you think you’d want to use this feature for close-up shots, but want to turn it off just this once, you can tap the Macro (yellow flower) icon that appears in the corner of the viewfinder. When you do, your iPhone will switch back to the main camera, and the Macro icon will turn gray. However, the next time you use the camera and it detects a close up subject, Macro Mode will turn back on.

If you want to make sure Macro Mode stays off, but keeps the icon in the corner should you ever want to turn it back on, go to Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings, then hit the toggle by “Macro Mode.” However, if you want to turn off Macro Mode for good, you can head to Settings > Camera, then scroll to the bottom and disable “Macro Mode.”

As we’ve written about in the past, not only can ceiling fans keep your home cooler in the summer— with or without air conditioning —but they can also help your home stay warm and toasty in colder weather. 02:15 How to Steam an Egg Wednesday 11:19AM But when it comes to choosing a ceiling fan, it’s not solely a matter of finding one to match your decor: You should also consider the room’s square footage in order to ensure that the fan is able to get the job done.

I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...
Photo : Pixel-Shot ( Shutterstock ) This game is nearly identical to the “drink every time” game above, but adjusted for shots, so it’s for those trying to party a little harder. The idea is to make a list of shot-worthy occurrences—like “a coach yells at a referee” or “something goes wrong during the halftime show”—and then take a shot whenever they happen. If the promise of regular shots isn’t enough for you, we have another twist for you: The “1, 2, 3" rule. The first time something from your shot list happens, you take one shot. The second time it occurs, take two. The third, three...and then hopefully you don’t push your health and safety past that point. On the other hand, you can always choose to sip instead of taking a full shot. Again, none of these party games have to involve alcohol. But they definitely can if you want them to. Super Bowl LVII is on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. E T /3:30 p.m. P T.
