How to take a non-embarassing picture of the moon? - eviltoast

I just recently passed from android to Iphone 15 Pro and while it’s effectively better under all aspects, it really leaves much to be desired on the moon pictures, with results being vastly inferior to my old Honor 20 Pro from 2018. All of this seems to be due to the apparent lack of focus and exposure control. Now, I understand that Apple phones are not for “Pro” photography but… can’t the AI in the phone really see that that’s the moon and it should focus at infinity? Also, what’s with the huge light flares that I always see when imaging bright lights?

      That’s Samsung bs speak for the over-glorified, high tech way that it overlays moon.jpg into images that it detects contain the moon.

        So is every picture that you take a jpg overlay because of ai? The amount of stupidity is astonishing. And if you think that apple doesnt do the same you are just naive and stupid

      All phones use AI to sharpen images, but Samsung uses AI to quite literally slap on a fake image of the moon when it detects a moon, so this is very, very different.

      There are literally videos of people fooling the algorithm by putting a white circle on a dark background and it suddenly turned it into a moon…
