这些相机应用让你可以更好地控制 iPhone 18 Pro 的光圈
One of the questionable limitations of the iPhone 18 Pro’s new main camera with a variable aperture is that you’re limited to just four settings in the native iOS’ camera app in manual mode: f/1.48, f/1.8, f/2.8, and f/4. Those same limitations are also in place when the app is adjusting the iris itself in Auto aperture mode, but it turns out that’s not a strict limitation of the iPhone’s camera hardware. Apple’s SDK allows third-party camera apps to implement more granular control of the aperture.
iPhone 18 Pro 全新主摄配备了可变光圈，但其原生 iOS 相机应用在手动模式下仅提供 f/1.48、f/1.8、f/2.8 和 f/4 四档设置，这一限制颇受争议。当应用在自动光圈模式下调整光圈时，同样存在这些限制。但事实证明，这并非 iPhone 硬件本身的严格限制，苹果的 SDK 允许第三方相机应用实现更精细的光圈控制。
BlackMagic Design’s well-featured and still completely free BlackMagic Camera app for iOS was one of the first third-party options to introduce support for the iPhone 18 Pro’s adjustable aperture. But instead of just four stop settings, the app offers 10 presets with additional options in-between the settings available in iOS’ camera. The iPhoneographers YouTube channel tested the new functionality in version 3.5 of the app last week and while they describe it as “pretty buggy” the app has since been updated to version 3.5.1 with “general performance and stability improvements.”
BlackMagic Design 功能丰富且完全免费的 iOS 版 BlackMagic Camera 应用，是首批支持 iPhone 18 Pro 可调光圈的第三方应用之一。它没有局限于四档设置，而是提供了 10 个预设，并在 iOS 原生相机提供的设置之间增加了更多选项。YouTube 频道“iPhoneographers”上周测试了该应用 3.5 版本的新功能，虽然他们当时形容其“漏洞较多”，但该应用随后已更新至 3.5.1 版本，带来了“常规性能和稳定性改进”。
Yesterday, Moment followed suit with an announcement on X that its $12.99 Moment Pro Camera II app has also been updated to support the iPhone 18 Pro’s variable aperture. You can adjust the aperture from f/1.48 to f/4.0 in 1/3 stop increments giving you 10 presets like Blackmagic’s app, which is the same approach as most digital cameras take. Given the small sensor size of the iPhone 18 Pro you may be hard-pressed to see a difference in background blur and focus depth when comparing photos with f-stops different by just 1/3 of a stop, but more control is never a bad thing.
昨天，Moment 也在 X 上宣布，其售价 12.99 美元的 Moment Pro Camera II 应用也已更新，支持 iPhone 18 Pro 的可变光圈。你可以以 1/3 档为增量，在 f/1.48 到 f/4.0 之间调整光圈，这与 Blackmagic 的应用一样提供了 10 个预设，采用了与大多数数码相机相同的设计思路。考虑到 iPhone 18 Pro 的传感器尺寸较小，在对比仅相差 1/3 档光圈的照片时，你可能很难看出背景虚化和景深上的差异，但拥有更多的控制权总归不是坏事。
