Explains the differences between 12MP, 24MP, and 48MP captures, how the Quad-pixel sensor and Photonic Engine work, and how to configure AVCaptureSession with the photo preset. Covers quality prioritization levels (speed, balanced, quality), using setPreparedPhotoSettingsArray for resource pre-allocation, and best practices for keeping apps responsive via responsive capture, deferred photo processing, and fast capture prioritization. Includes a practical demo showing how enabling these APIs reduces shot-to-shot delay and allows capturing multiple high-quality frames in rapid succession. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
