Is it possible to choose which lens/camera to use on iPhone 13 Pro Max?
All I can see is the Zoom function that seems to switch between the lenses.
I want to use the Wide Lens with its Sensor Shift OIS.
Thanks.
Stay Safe.

Thanks for those details.
This is done automatically, but you can also choose Ultra Wide camera (.5x) manually.
"Shooting macro in Photo and Video modes is automatic — just move your iPhone close to the subject and the camera will automatically switch to the Ultra Wide camera if it's not selected, while maintaining your framing. To shoot macro slow-motion or time-lapse videos, select the Ultra Wide camera (.5x) and move close to the subject.
You might see the Camera app transition to the Ultra Wide camera as you move your iPhone close to or away from a subject. You can control automatic macro switching by going to Settings > Camera, then turning on Macro Control. With Macro Control on, your Camera app displays a macro button 
when your iPhone is within macro distance of a subject. Tap the macro button to turn off automatic macro switching, and tap it again to turn automatic macro switching back on."

Take care.
Thanks for your reply.
However this does not answer my question.
I need to find out when I am using the Wide lens. There seems to be no way to select an individual lens in the iOS app.
I have since discovered that this can be done in the Moment & Filmic apps but both have other issues.
Nice answer but nothing to do with what I asked. Did you read what I asked?
I can’t even find a picture of which lens is which.
Seems very strange that Apple would spend so much time, effort & money on developing something and then keep it all a secret.
Most frustrating. Too late to send it back now…
