Camera Pinch Closeup iPhone Photo Resolution Primer Tutorial
Because we couldn’t categorically say …
the resolution is the same, the photo dimensions are the same for two versions of an iPhone Camera app created photo of a scene, one not pinched and the another a closeup of detail within that scene via a user pinch gesture
… we decided to do our own test with photographs of a bee interested in Jacaranda tree petals. The test involved …
- in iPhone Camera app take at least one non-closeup non-pinched photo of the bee (we ended up taking two such non-closeup non-pinched photos)
- in Camera app take at least one closeup pinched photo of the bee (we ended up taking four such closeup pinched photos)
- via Share icon share these via Email to myself, picking the “Actual Size” mode of photo storage
- on this MacBook Pro Gmail webmail, downloaded resultant email attachment as a zip file we tap to unzip
- opened those 6 unzipped photos in Finder “Show items as icons, in a list” display mode … for each …
- screenshotting each via Shift-Command-Control-3 … to slides (via Paintbrush’s “New from Clipboard”/”Save As…”) …
- we compile into today’s animated GIF presentation … from which we can conclude, at least from this test, that …

yes, the resolution is the same, the photo dimensions are the same for two versions of an iPhone Camera app created photo of a scene, one not pinched and the another a closeup of detail within that scene via a user pinch gesture
What else could be the case? With pinch operations perhaps resolution is lost and image sizes change, is one scenario. But no, pinch away for your detail closeup photographs with whatever level of impunity you normally adopt with an iPhone?!
