Take Apple ProRAW photos with your iPhone camera

On supported models, you can use Camera to take photos in Apple ProRAW. Apple ProRAW combines the information of a standard RAW format along with iPhone image processing to offer additional creative control when you make adjustments to exposure, color, and white balance.

Apple ProRAW is available on all cameras, including the front camera. Apple ProRAW isn’t supported in Portrait mode.

To set up Apple ProRAW on supported models, go to Settings 👁 Image
 > Camera > Formats, then turn on Apple ProRAW or ProRAW & Resolution Control (depending on your model).

Note: Apple ProRAW photos retain more information about the images, resulting in larger file sizes.
