I have iPhoneSE2 with pretty standard 12mp camera and as i was sitting on our porch and browsing the web I randomly enabled main camera and took a shot of my sweatpants fabric (no joke here). The shot is above. I was pretty impressed with the quality as i could see fibers etc.

Just 10 minutes later i attempted to take few more shots at the same macro level. No matter how i tried i could not get even near if the shot above:

**So i am puzzled as to what allowed my phone camera to take that perfect shot and then fail to capture it next time?**

I was not using any special apps just standard photo app.
