How do I enable 48MP photos on the iPhone 15 Pro Max

1. Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and enable "ProRAW & Resolution Control"[1][3][4].

2. Select "ProRAW Max" to capture 48MP ProRAW photos with the main camera. This allows for maximum flexibility in editing but results in very large file sizes around 75-100MB+[4].

3. Alternatively, you can choose "HEIF Max (up to 48MP)" which also uses the full 48MP sensor but with smaller 4-5MB file sizes. This provides good detail while saving storage space[1][4].

4. Open the Camera app and look for "RAW MAX" or "HEIF MAX" in the top right corner. Make sure it is not crossed out[4].

5. Use the default 1x focal length. Changing to digital zoom will revert to 12MP[4].

6. Press and hold the "RAW MAX" or "HEIF MAX" button to switch between the high-resolution modes[4].

7. You can also use third-party camera apps like Halide or Camera+ to capture 48MP photos[4].

By following these steps, you can take advantage of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max's 48MP main camera sensor to capture highly detailed photos with maximum flexibility for editing or smaller file sizes.
