@a6ff0b2b Add something for scale — if that text is the same size as the text on my Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard, it’s TINY.  But “macro mode” or not, the long camera is the best choice for this job — if only to give enough standoff to not block all the light. Two generations earlier produces a perfectly readable photo. iPhone 12 Pro Max.

 @6b9b645e Yes, the 1x and the 3x camera do better, but still not great. The text is a similar size, but it's a darker gray so there's less contrast.
