iOS 18.2: Lock Auto Exposure and Focus With Camera Control

Apple's latest iPhone 16 models include a new Camera Control button (located on the lower right-hand side when holding the phone in portrait mode), and the latest iOS 18.2 software update adds a handy new piece of functionality to it.

iPhone 16 users now have the option to lock their auto exposure and auto focus settings with a light press of Camera Control. The option isn't on by default, but you can enable it in the following way.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Select Camera.
3. Select Camera Control.
4. Under "Light Press," toggle on the switch beside AE/EF Lock.

That's all there is to it – the change should take place immediately, allowing you to lock in auto-exposure and auto-focus settings with a light press before you take your shot.

Require Screen On

In iOS 18.2, Apple also added a new Camera Control toggle in Settings ➝ Display & Brightness. The new toggle is called Require Screen On. When enabled, this setting requires that your iPhone screen is illuminated before a press of the Camera Control button will open the Camera app or a compatible third-party camera app. It's a handy option if you find yourself pressing the button accidentally.
