Light is a vital factor in achieving good camera results

If you are determined to take pictures with the 48 MP sensor, you should consider that light will be your best ally.

Please note that you may experience some problems in daily life by setting photos to Apple ProRAW..

You will have to fully rely on the A16 Bionic processor to get quality photography. Otherwise, you should not enable the 48 MP mod. A little bit of information is that ProRAW photos will only be taken with a 1x wide-angle lens. All other modes, including night, flash and macro, will remain at 12 MP.

These are official data of iPhone 14 Pro cameras.

More space to store 48MP photos of iPhone 14 Pro

Besides video in different resolutions, 48MP ProRAW photos take up more space than a regular 12MP photo. According to Apple, if a photo in this 12 MP mode takes up 25 megabytes, then 48 MP will take up about 75 megabytes. Multiplying that by three times as much space and many catches will result in somewhat cluttered storage for your iPhone (but if you have a lot more capacity than usual, you won’t notice it much).
