I want to take 48MP photos and get the same iso and exposure duration as I set. Configuration Set the active AVCaptureDevice.Format to a format where supportedMaxPhotoDimensions contains the (8064, 6048) size Set AVCapturePhotoOutput.maxPhotoDimensions to (8064, 6048) Set if (AVCaptureDevice.isExposureModeSupported:.custom) { AVCaptureDevice.exposureMode = .custom; } Set AVCaptureDevice.setExposureModeCustomWithDuration:1/20 ISO:100 completionHandler:handler Taking a photo Set AVCapturePhotoSettings.maxPhotoDimensions to (8064, 6048) The API discussion of setExposureModeCustomWithDuration told me https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avcapturedevice/1624646-setexposuremodecustomwithduratio/ To ensure that the receiver's ISO and exposureDuration values are honored while in AVCaptureExposureModeCustom or AVCaptureExposureModeLocked, you must set your AVCapturePhotoSettings.photoQualityPrioritization property to AVCapturePhotoQualityPrioritizationSpeed. But at last step, when I set AVCapturePhotoSettings.maxPhotoQualityPrioritization = .speed, the photo resolution is (4000, 3000), only 12MP, not is (8000, 6000). the iso and exposure duration on the photo are the same as what I set. and when I set AVCapturePhotoSettings.maxPhotoQualityPrioritization = .balanced/.qulity, the photo is (8000, 6000) , but the iso and exposeure duration obtained on the photo is different from the one I set. What do I need to do to take 48MP photos and set the iso and exposure duration successfully?
