Best iPhone Camera Settings for Real Estate Photos
September 26, 2026 · 4 min read
A few settings make a big difference. Set these once and every listing photo starts stronger.
Settings to change
- Grid: on (Settings → Camera → Grid).
- Level: on, to keep the camera straight.
- Formats: High Efficiency is fine; ProRAW if you edit heavily.
- Preserve settings: keep exposure adjustments between shots.
- Lens correction: on for the ultra-wide lens.
While shooting
Long-press to lock focus and exposure (AE/AF Lock), then slide exposure slightly down to protect windows. Use the 1× lens for most rooms and 0.5× only in tight spaces.
