Is anyone using vFlat Scan for serious book digitisation on newer iPhones?
I am testing an iPhone 15 Pro in an overhead scanning setup and vFlat appears to always use the 0.5× ultrawide camera during live capture.
The problem is:
- softer text,
- distortion correction artifacts,
- and reduced edge sharpness.
At the same mounting height (35–50 cm), the native Apple Camera app using the 1× main lens produces dramatically better geometry and text quality.
I cannot find:
- any manual lens-selection setting,
- or any way to stop vFlat using ultrawide.
Has anyone found:
- a workaround,
- hidden setting,
- or alternate scanning app that properly supports the main 1× camera on iPhone?
Current workaround is:
Apple Camera (1×) -> import into vFlat for dewarping/OCR/PDF.
But I would prefer a direct scanning workflow if possible.
