The iPad Pro models, including those with the M3 chip, feature a TrueDepth camera that supports Portrait mode with advanced bokeh and Depth Control, as well as Portrait Lighting effects. The Portrait Lighting effects available on the iPad Pro are similar to those found on other Apple devices with TrueDepth cameras, such as iPhones. These effects include:
- Natural Light: This effect keeps your face in sharp focus against a blurred background, mimicking natural lighting conditions.
- Studio Light: This effect brightly lights your face, giving the photo a clean and studio-like appearance.
- Contour Light: This adds dramatic shadows to your face, highlighting both the high and low points.
- Stage Light: This effect spotlights your face against a deep black background, creating a dramatic stage-like effect.
- Stage Light Mono: Similar to Stage Light, but the photo is rendered in classic black and white.
- High-Key Light Mono: This creates a grayscale subject on a white background, available on iPad Pro models like the 11-inch (2nd generation and later) and 12.9-inch (4th generation and later)[1][2][3].
There are no exclusive Portrait Lighting effects specifically for the iPad Pro M3 TrueDepth camera compared to other recent iPad Pro models. The features are consistent across supported models, with the High-Key Light Mono effect being limited to newer iPad Pro models as mentioned above.
