Pro Tips

Avoiding Fish Eye Distortion:

If you are experiencing fish-eye/ perspective (magnification) distortion with photos taken with the iPhone or iPad, you are physically too close to the patient. If you are standing less than 4 feet away from the patient you will likely notice that the nose looks bigger than reality and the ears become less visible or completely hidden. This leads to a distorted look that does not represent reality.

Depending on the model of iPhone or iPad you using, your options for avoiding this distortion while maintaining the highest quality (clarity) photo will vary:

Best iOS devices for optimal photos

• iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 15 & 16 Pro Max – Stand 5 Ft from the patient using the Back Telephoto Camera 5x Optical Zoom
  

Less optimal devices:

• iPhone 13 & 14 Pro and 13 & 14 Pro Max – Stand 3 ft from the patient using the Back Telephoto  Camera 3x Optical Zoom

Devices not recommended for high quality face photos – due to the single lens, you must use digital zoom which will be lower quality photo. (your zoom number will show in red)

• iPads, All non-Pro or Pro Max models, iPhone 12 and older – Stand 3 ft from the patient, pinch to zoom to 3x. Alternatively, if you stand 2 ft from the patient you will have slightly better clarity, but  more fish-eye distortion.

To ensure consistency between devices and photographers, it is key to pick devices across your practice that can support the highest quality at the same distance from the patient, ideally 5 ft and 5x optical zoom.
