Summary
Version 27.0 brings a new ƒ-stop dial to iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, letting users manually set the main 48MP camera’s physical aperture from ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4.
That control works on the new variable-aperture main lens only; ProCamera now also shows the active lens—Ultra Wide, Wide or Tele—so users can see when close focusing switches away from the adjustable camera.
At ƒ/1.48, the lens admits about 45% more light than the iPhone 17 Pro’s fixed ƒ/1.78, enabling faster shutter speeds or lower ISO, while narrower settings can increase depth of field and support effects like sun stars.
Early testing suggests ƒ/2.8 is the sharpness sweet spot, while blur changes remain subtle because the iPhone’s small sensor limits optical background separation except in close-up subjects.
ProCamera said the update is its first step in exploiting the iPhone 18 Pro hardware, with more refinements planned as it explores the new camera system.
