New Delhi, Oct 16 (NationPress) Indian specialists shared insightful tips on how to beautifully capture diyas and candles this Diwali without losing the highlights. Photographer Bobby Roy emphasized that the Night Mode in the iPhone 17 series is a top-notch tool for achieving stunning results.

“Utilize the 48MP HEIF MAX to highlight the intricate textures of lights and festive decorations, leveraging the exceptional quality that the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max offers. The Portrait mode is perfect for capturing soft, cinematic moments and pooja portraits,” he advised.

Additionally, the cinematic mode is ideal for creating captivating Diwali videos, such as lighting diyas and other vibrant moments. Thanks to the photonic engine in the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max, low-light conditions are handled effortlessly, preserving both details and warmth, according to Roy.

“Enhance warmth and vibrancy for that golden Diwali glow in your iPhone photos. Keep the flash turned off, reduce exposure for diya shots, and focus on reflections,” Roy suggested, urging photographers to capture emotions such as laughter, rituals, and light—the essence of Diwali magic.

Another photographer, Porus Vimadalal, recommended zooming in to 2x or 4x for portraits.

“This naturally compresses the background, creating more proportionally realistic and less distorted faces. Tap to focus and decrease exposure a notch, particularly in bright environments, to achieve subtle highlights and a cinematic feel. Adjustments can always be made during editing,” Vimadalal noted.

Position your subject at an angle to the light source; around 45 degrees provides beautiful directional lighting and depth, perfect for moody images. For night photography, stability is crucial. Utilize Night Mode and rest your phone on a stable surface (or a mini tripod) for sharper, less grainy images, Vimadalal added.

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max come equipped with Apple’s most advanced camera systems, featuring higher-resolution sensors both front and back—akin to carrying eight professional lenses in your pocket. The trio of 48MP Fusion cameras captures sharper, more detailed images.

A newly designed 48MP Telephoto camera features a next-gen tetraprism design with a sensor that is 56 percent larger than that of the previous generation, enhancing sharpness in bright light and delivering more detail in darker shots.

The new 4x optical zoom at 100mm serves as a classic lens for portraiture, while the 8x optical zoom at 200mm—the longest ever on an iPhone—offers extended reach and greater creative options.

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max feature an innovative Center Stage front camera that elevates the photo and video experience.

With impressive capabilities like Dolby Vision HDR recording, 4K120 fps, ProRes Log, and ACES support, the iPhone continues to lead the smartphone video capture industry, experts noted.
