Are there any exclusive camera modes or settings on the iPad Pro M3


The iPad Pro, including models like the M3, offers several advanced camera modes and settings that enhance its photography capabilities. While specific details about the M3 model are not provided in the search results, the general features of the iPad Pro camera system are as follows:

1. Camera System: The iPad Pro typically features a pro camera system with a Wide camera and an Ultra Wide camera. The Wide camera is usually 12MP with an f/1.8 aperture, and the Ultra Wide camera is 10MP with an f/2.4 aperture and a 125° field of view[4].

2. Advanced Camera Modes:
- Portrait Mode: Available for both front and rear cameras, allowing for advanced bokeh and Depth Control. Portrait Lighting offers six effects: Natural, Studio, Contour, Stage, Stage Mono, and High-Key Mono[1][4].
- Scene Detection: Automatically identifies the scene and applies tailored settings to enhance the photo quality. This feature can be turned on or off in the camera settings[2].
- Lens Correction: Adjusts photos taken with the front camera or Ultra Wide camera for more natural-looking results. This setting can also be toggled on or off[2].

3. Manual Controls and Settings:
- Focus and Exposure: Users can manually adjust focus and exposure by tapping on the screen and dragging up or down next to the focus area. These settings can be locked for subsequent shots by holding the focus area until AE/AF Lock appears[2].
- Grid: A grid can be enabled in the camera settings to help straighten and compose shots[2].
- Shutter Volume: The shutter sound can be adjusted or muted through the Control Center, though this may not be possible in all regions[2].

4. Video Recording:
- 4K Video: Recording available at 24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps, or 60 fps. It is recommended to use 4K at 60 fps for higher quality video[1][10].
- Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse: Supports 1080p slo-mo at 120 fps or 240 fps and time-lapse video with stabilization[1].
- Cinematic Video Stabilization: Available for 4K, 1080p, and 720p videos[1].

5. Third-Party Apps: Apps like Halide and VSCO offer additional manual controls such as ISO, shutter speed, and white balance, allowing for more professional photography experiences[3].

While the iPad Pro M3 is not specifically detailed in the search results, these features are generally available across recent iPad Pro models. The upcoming iPad Pro models might include a landscape Face ID camera, which could further enhance camera functionality in landscape mode[7][9].
