There are strong voices who want to take beautiful pictures even with a compact iPhone and share them on SNS, and want to keep daily records with vivid pictures.for that reasoniPhone13 miniThe camera function of the iPhone 8 has steadily evolved from the previous model and has the same camera function as the iPhone 8.iPhone SE (2nd generation)There is a difference with.
Two lenses
iPhone13 miniforWide-angle lensWhenSuper wide-angle lensIt is equipped with two lenses,iPhone SE (2nd generation)forWide-angle lensIs installed. Therefore, the 13 mini can shoot with a wider angle of view than the SE.
The two pictures above are 13 miniPhotographs taken with a wide-angle lens and an ultra-wide-angle lensis. I shot from the same shooting location and at the same angle, but with an ultra-wide-angle lens, the range that can be shot is greatly expanded. Due to the shooting location, it was a shame that the surrounding trees were reflected even when shooting with a super wide-angle lens, but the difference in angle of view greatly changes the impression of the photo even if it is shot from the same place.
By the way, the above picture was taken with SE. The range shown on the first 13 mini is not so different, but the focal length is slightly different (13 mini: 26mm 、 SE: 28mm) Therefore, the shooting range is a little narrower in SE.
Photo brightness
13 mini lens (wide-angle)f value is 1.6, SEf value 1.8The 13 mini can take brighter pictures.Also, even if you shoot under the same conditions, it will be set automatically.ISO sensitivityIs different for 13 mini and SE. Perhaps because of these differences, the photos taken with the 13 mini and the photos taken with the SE will have subtle differences in the finished product even if they are taken with the same 12MP digital camera.
The above picture is the pizza taken with 13 mini on the top and the pizza taken with SE on the bottom. No editing has been done after shooting, but you can see subtle color differences. The pizza taken with the 13 miniThe yellow of the cone and the red of the ketchup are vividly reproduced.The photos taken with SE are slightly darker and have a slightly dull hue. It seems that the 13 mini can take more impressive pictures that are easily evaluated on SNS.
Also, in the iPhone 12 series, it was installed only in the Pro modelDeep Fusion functionIs also installed in the 13 mini, which plays a role in making photos even clearer. This point will also make a difference from the pictures taken with SE.
Difference in close-up
As mentioned above, the f-number of the lens differs between the 13 mini and SE, and this difference appears in the difference in the image when taking a picture when approaching the subject. 13 mini lens with f value 1.6 is SE (f value 1.8)Capable of shooting at a shallower depth of fieldTherefore, you can expect the effect of making the in-focus subject stand out from the surroundings.
The photo was taken close to a small flower, with the top 13 mini and the bottom SE. This is also a photo that has not been edited at all, but the colors are slightly different. And you can see that the degree of blurring of the flowers behind is also different.
If you enlarge the flower behindThe degree of blur is stronger with 13 mini (left).You can confirm that. The subtle differences between the 13 mini and SE lenses also make a clear difference in the finish of the pictures taken.
Night mode
13 mini is installed from iPhone 11Night modeCorresponds to. This mode is not supported by SE, and there is a big difference between the pictures taken in a dark environment with both models. In a dark place, the camera app automatically switches to night mode and shoots, but in night mode, you can take multiple photos with one shutter operation and automatically combine them to make bright and clear photos even at night. It is a mechanism that allows you to take pictures.
The top two photos were taken with the 13 mini, and the bottom two photos were taken with the SE. This is also unedited, but the difference is clear. Night mode clearly projects bright areas and reproduces dark areas without trying to force them to brighten. On the other hand, the photos taken with SE are blurred in both bright and dark places, probably because of noise processing.Shooting at night slows the shutter speed, so you have to hold the iPhone firmly to reduce camera shake, but the user is not aware of it.You can take clear pictures even at nightMay be the benefit of the 13 mini with night mode.
There is a clear difference in performance even with compact models
Comparing camera functionsThe difference between iPhone 13 mini and iPhone SE (2nd generation) is clearis.Also [Comparison of actual machines]iPhone 13 mini and iPhone SE (2nd generation) -Main unit specifications As compared in, the difference in specifications is also large.The difference remains the samePrice difference (12 mini: 86,800 yen, SE: 49,800 yen)It is a fact that appears in. The price of the main unit is a little high, but whether to fully enjoy the functions and performance of the latest model with the iPhone 13 mini, or to keep the purchase price down and thoroughly use the standard functions of the iPhone SE (2nd generation), this time I hope that the comparative article will help you make that choice.
