Capture Content Outside Camera Frame

/

When I photograph I like to focus on getting the crop exactly so, but sometimes that doesn't happen and I don't find out until later when I'm reviewing my photos at home. This is because I'm often out walking my dog Belle and when something catches my eye, I have to capture the photo quickly as Belle doesn't always have patience with me when it comes to photography, LOL!

So with this in mind, I am very excited about the feature that automatically captures content outside the camera frame. It's included in the software for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max and also works for videos. I'll walk you through how to enable this feature as well as how to use it to edit your photos. I'm finding it extremely helpful.

When I originally captured the 'bouquet' of tulips, I cropped out most of the tree. Upon reviewing the available content outside the frame, I decided to include more of the tree in the image as well as the orange tulips.
