Ghost Image or Dots or Lens Flare in IPhone11 camera

I see blueish greenish dots in the photos I click in low light or sometimes I see shadow of the source of light in the photo. I also see the dots in the video as well. Contacted apple service Center they say it’s Common

How to get rid of this problem

Firstly, import the photos into Photos by dragging them into Photos pane. This is best done on a desktop rather than your iPhone.

Click on the photo to enlarge it in the Photos frame, then click Edit in top right corner and this will appear:



Click on Retouch and then drag the line across to open a circle. Open the circle so that it's about twice the size of the object you wish to remove. Now move the cursor to the item until the circle covers the item. Now click and the object will disappear.

It's as simple as that, but as I said, best done on a desktop or laptop/ipad rather than an iPhone.


When you are finished removing objects, click Done in the top right corner. To return the photo to your files, just drag and drop the photo from Photos back to the folder it/they came from. The file will change from .jpg to jpeg. There is no difference between the two. Jpg will be the original copy, .jpeg is the Photos corrected copy. Both files will show up in the folder they are stored in. At this point, you can delete the unwanted version from your files. To delete them from Photos, just tap the photo and a frame will appear around the photo. Tap the Delete key and a little window will drop down:


Click on Delete and it will go to the Trash bin. Photos is part of whatever OS or iOs you have on a Desktop/laptop or iPad.

Yes, I used Apple's Photos software which gives the user the capability to alter the basic appearance of a photo by using the Edit tool.

It's not a complicated editing tool like Photoshop etc, and it's free.


One tip I will give you when shooting at night, and to control flare is not to shoot directly at bright lights. It has the same effect when shooting towards the sun when the sun is visible in the sky. When clouds cover the sun, then it's ok. If the sun isbehind you but reflected in a window or other reflective surface in front of you, then that has the same effect of creating flare.

One other thing: don't stare at the sun too long.

Anything else you need to know, just ask.
