How to use Deep Fusion with iPhone SE 3, iPhone 13, and more

"Here are more specifics about when Deep Fusion is active:

▪︎With the wide (standard) lens in bright to medium-lit environments, Smart HDR will be used while Deep Fusion will activate for medium to low-lit scenes (Night mode naturally kicking in for dim-lit shots)
• The telephoto lens will generally use Deep Fusion except for shots that are very brightly-lit when Smart HDR will take over
• For the ultra wide lens, Deep Fusion is never activated, instead, Smart HDR is used"

Not a poor choice at all since I think – Friday flashback – the premiere of Cowboys & Aliens was quite a successful event there back in the day. Anyway, we’ll just have to wait and see.

P.S.
Come to think of it, with a SDCC venue, I could do a nice tie-in with it as seen across the bay to the right side of my cap - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post16844182

Perhaps will garner the Best Original Song award too –

I'm inclined to agree with what this fan wrote (paraphrasing) a few weeks ago “….Dos Oruguitas is a masterpiece not only because of its lyrics but also because of what this song represents in relation to the conflict and violence that has been part not only of Colombia's history, but also of Latin America history. This song deserves the Oscar."

Anyway, last night my wife and I watched Netflix’s Rescued by Ruby - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11278476/ which contained a couple of quite emotional moments.

Soon fans will experience the moving emotional moment in Top Gun: Maverick for which –

As they were well known rivals in the original movie.
