How To Shoot Night Mode Selfies With The Front-Facing TrueDepth Camera On iPhone 12?

Apple’s iPhone 12 lineup is blessed with several enhancements with the camera systems, including Night mode, which has been expanded beyond the regular rear-facing wide lens and landing on the ultra-wide lens and the front-facing TrueDepth camera.

According to Apple, “Night mode comes to the front camera, bringing all that low-light detail and natural color to your favorite subject. Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 3, and Dolby Vision recording are now on the TrueDepth camera, too. So you’ll look your best in any light.”

If you are not aware, up until the iPhone 12, Apple kept using the display to create a flash for selfies taken in low-light. However, the results were not always the best, especially for those who wear glasses. To change all that, Apple had to unveil Night mode to the front-facing camera on all of the iPhone 12 models for better low-light selfies and users are delighted. Let’s expatiate on this by showing you How To Shoot Night Mode Selfies With The Front-Facing TrueDepth Camera On iPhone 12?

How Can I Take Night Mode Selfies On My iPhone 12?

  1. Launch the Camera application.
  2. Click the circular arrows icon in the bottom-right corner to use the front-facing camera.
  3. Search for the moon icon in the top-left corner (bottom-left or top-right if using in landscape).
  4. Yellow tells you that it is auto turned on, and you can take Night mode selfies immediately with the shutter button.
  5. If the moon icon is white, you can click it to enable it manually (if there is too much light where you are, the moon will not be visible at all.)
  6. You can even click the moon if it’s yellow to manually adjust the exposure time with the slider just above the shutter button (maximum is set automatically).
  7. Click the shutter button and make sure your iOS device is as stable as possible.

Be aware that if the moon is not seen at all (yellow or white), it means there is too much light around you and you do not need to use Night mode. Being stable while taking the shot is vital to getting the best results. If possible, place your iPhone on a solid surface or even a tripod if you want the best Night mode selfies.
