Is there a way to change iPhone's macro feature to manual?

I hate the macro feature on this camera. Is there any way to change it to a manual operation?

Yes. Settings > Camera > Macro Control...toggle it on and you will have the option in the camera preview to turn it off.

iPhone 17 Pro camera issue with manual settings in third-party apps I bought the 17pro with high hopes of a true pocket camera, and it is almost there, BUT when I try to shoot 48mp in jpeg, heic og raw, the phone overrides my manual settings in third party apps with «full» control, and when I lower the resolution, I some times get to shoot with manual exposure and iso. As a photographer with the need of a pocketable everyday camera, this is insanely frustrating. I have tried so many tutorials, settings and combinations, but looking at the exif is like hoping to win the lottery. Am I missing something or was the move from Android to iOS just hopes and dreams?

Can I reassign the function of the lower right side button on iPhone 16 Pro? On the iPhone 16 Pro, there’s a button on the lower right side that takes you directly to the camera. Is there a way to change this to another function? I understand that there’s a button on the upper left side that can be customized but I’d like to customize the right sided button as well.
