How to shoot Log footage on the iPhone 15 Pro

The iPhone 15 Pro and larger iPhone 15 Pro Max series of phones come with numerous camera highlights, including the ability to shoot in Log.

Great if you want to shoot footage and then colour-grade it afterwards, the iPhone 15 Pro is the first model of Apple’s flagship phone series to support the format.

This is a feature best left turned off unless you’re planning on grading the footage, as regular Log video looks grey and flat. It’s not on by default, but enabling it is easy if you follow the steps below.

What you’ll need: 

  • An iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max

The Short Version 

  • Unlock the phone
  • Open Settings
  • Scroll down to Camera
  • Tap Formats
  • Ensure ProRes is enabled
  • Tap ProRes Encoding
  • Select Log
  • Enable inside the Camera app
