IPhone 13 Pro changes lenses automatically

I'm trying to use an external zoom clip lens that you attach to the phone. But the phone changes lenses automatically. How can I lock the 1x lens regardless? Photo mode, not video mode

Hello Montehabana,


You can use the steps below to further adjust the automatic macro switching:


You can control when the camera automatically switches to the Ultra Wide camera for capturing macro photos and videos.

1. Go to Settings  > Camera, then turn on Macro Control.
2. Open Camera, then get close to your subject.
When you get within macro distance of your subject, the Macro button appears on the screen.
3. Tap the Macro button to turn off automatic macro switching.
Tip: If the photo or video becomes blurry, you can back up or tap .5x to switch to the Ultra Wide camera.
4. Tap the Macro button to turn automatic macro switching back on.

Automatic macro switching is re-enabled the next time you use Camera within macro distance. If you want to maintain your Macro Control setting between camera sessions, go to Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings and turn on Macro Control.


You can also find those steps in this resource: Take macro photos and videos with your iPhone camera - Apple Support


Take care.
