How to shoot Log footage on the iPhone 15 Pro

Step
1

Unlock the phone

To begin, unlock the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. Note – this will not work with the regular iPhone 15, nor the older Pro or Pro Max models.

Step
2

Open Settings

Find and select the Settings app. This is the app with an icon that looks like a cog and you can see it in the image below.

Step
3

Once you’re in Settings, scroll down to Camera and tap it.

Step
4

Tap Formats

Next, scroll down to the option labelled Formats and tap it.

Step
5

Ensure ProRes is enabled

Before you enable Log, you’ll need to make sure ProRes is enabled. This should be on by default, but if not toggle the Apple ProRes option so that it’s green.

Step
6

Tap ProRes Encoding

Under the Apple ProRes option there’s another option called ProRes Encoding. Tap this and you’ll be taken to another menu.

Step
7

Select Log

In the ProRes Encoding menu, you’ll see three options: HDR, SDR and Log. HDR is the default, but tapping Log will make that default instead.

Step
8

Enable inside the Camera app

Now just exit out of Settings and back into the Camera app. On the top menu bar there’s an option labelled ProRes Log – tap this and it’ll switch modes. Tap it again to turn it off.
