Filters can be applied at different working focal lengths designed specifically for portrait mode: 35mm for so-called Documentary, 50mm for applying depth of field and 90mm for soft focus.

The Xiaomi13T Pro has a professional camera mode, which debuted on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra and allows, for example, to adjust tones and textures when compiling shots. According to the manufacturer, this allows greater detail and color to be achieved compared to post-processing.

The 13T cameras also allow you to record 4K video at all available focal lengths, and additional subtitles or soundtracks can be added as separate editor tracks thanks to the editor’s Pro mode.

These options are improved on the 13T Pro that supports it. Video recording in 10-bit LOG format —iPhone 15 Pro offers exactly this option—H.265 4:2:0 thanks to the pre-loaded Rec.709 LUT profile.
