For some reason, the LR Mobiel app only use the normal lens on my iPhone 11.  It doesn't use the ultra wide angle lens.

Is there some special settings I don't know about to activate the ultra wide angle lens?

The UW lens on the iPhone 11 is available from the Automatic and Professional Modes (see pulldown) It is not available in HDR mode, Long Exposure, and Depth capture.   Double check your Lightroom Camera App settings.

Are you, by chance, in Depth mode?

In Automatic and Pro modes, UW is only available in JPG format.

It has changed with the latest iOS updates. Before, I could use the UW option in DNG format also.


Thanks for posting on this.  I've upgraded to IOS 16, however, and don't see any change.  I still have to switch to JPG format to be able to use the UW lens.  I'm holding out for introduction of the periscope lense in 2023 (iPhone Pro Max).  My problem with go away then.
