While iOS 17 isn’t officially out yet, the Beta test version is available today. There’s a weird bug on iOS 17 that affects RitchieCam. The App Store description states, “Temporarily removed HEIC format on certain operating systems until a future RitchieCam update.” So what’s going on? You might or might not have noticed the recent RitchieCam 1.6.1 update. I think the XPan aspect ratio is the big winner with regards to the high-resolution option, but anytime that you think you might want to make a large print of the scene, and the lighting situation allows, you may want to consider enabling 48MP Capture. Now, with 48MP, you have a ton of fine details, and can print 18″x36″ if you want. It’s plenty of resolution for internet viewing, but prints are limited to 6″x12″, or perhaps 9″x18″ if you’ve got a clean, sharp picture that won’t be viewed too closely (but that’s definitely pushing it). Cropping out half of 12MP is a bit crippling. One example where 48MP makes a lot of sense is when you are shooting in the 65:24 XPan aspect ratio, which cuts out half of the resolution. Third, 48MP takes up a lot of storage space on your device, so you might want to use 48MP sparingly and thoughtfully. If the scene is particularly contrasty and you are concerned about highlight and shadow details, or if it is a dimly lit, you probably want to take advantage of pixel-binning, and get a standard 12MP image instead. Second, the image is not pixel-binned, which means that dynamic range will be impacted, and high-ISO pictures won’t look as good. If you need to be quick, 48MP should probably be disabled. First, 48MP full-res slows down the camera significantly, and especially if you are also saving a RAW file. While this new option is definitely wonderful, there are some important considerations that must be mentioned.
