Why does my iPhone camera screen blackout when using external lenses?Updated 2 months ago

Currently, the native iPhone camera app doesn't independently manage each lens on dual or triple-camera models. This causes temporary blackouts when switching between lenses while using external attachments.

For iPhone 13 and 14 users, we've created a brief explanatory video available here.


Recommended Solutions:

  • Use third-party camera apps that allow independent lens selection. We highly recommend:

    • ProCamera for photography

    • Filmic Pro for video

  • Adobe Lightroom also features a convenient dual-lens option (located at the top right corner of the screen), enabling quick switches between the main and secondary cameras.

Important Tip: When using our Telephoto lens with the secondary camera, remember to tap-to-focus on your subject to ensure sharp images due to the increased zoom level.
