Every screen shot I take turns out super dark, like the brightness is turned all the way down or there's a dark grey filter over it. I can't figure out what's wrong, thought it was the ios14 update but my friend isn't having the same issue at all.
iPhone XS Max, iOS 14
I have the same thing. But I’ve been using the zoom function to dim my screen further.
I just turned off zoom and the screenshots come out as they should.
Maybe there is another option in the accessibility for this.
My settings like you mentioned are already set like this with zoom off and the screenshots are all still dark.
My settings are set like this already. Same as Amp430 below. This seems to be a bug that hopefully they fix soon.
I have the 12 MAX PRO and my setting for Zoom are off and Zoom filter set to nine by default and my screen shot appear grey. Anyone find the real solution yet?
I have my filter set as none and the zoom turned off but it still doesn’t work??:((((
Under any other circumstances, what I’m about to say would sound sarcastic, but seriously I’m not trying to be sarcastic: I wish you good luck! Cause you’ll probably need it.
I just upgraded to iOS14.3 on iPhone 12 Pro Max and am still experiencing this dark filter phenomenon on video screenshots.
I just tried this and it worked, BUT, it’s a band-aid to a real issue that hasn’t been addressed. I know you know this. I’m just restating the obvious. Thank you for your input! 👍🏻
What if you do this and the screenshots are still dark?
This did not work for me
Someone above mentioned that in iOS 14.2 this was fixed. The screenshots that got darker in the Low light filter setting in iOS 14.1 has now been fixed in 14.2. However, the same Low light filter, which was a default setting on my iPhone X, made the screen ALWAYS DARK, this setting followed over to my iPhone XS. I never understood why I never saw jack all in the sunlight until I found this forum and turned the filter off and discovered a “new and bright screen".
Turning the Low light filter back on again with my new iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 14.2) the screen still gets very dark, but maybe it’s supposed to, if so, why? And what’s it good for???
I’m trying to troubleshoot and no matter what format the video is recorded in (HD/Non HD) my screenshots all have the same grey film over them. I attempt to screenshot a video in iOS 14.2 on my brand new iPhone 12. I’ve browsed online and I can’t find any forum for this besides this one. Has anyone figured this out yet?
@jomarswe
Settings > Camera > Record Video
Uncheck HDR Video
Record new video
Then your screenshots of video will be identical. However, without HDR, the light is considerably lower in the video (and thus the screenshot : (
Not a fix, just an observation by @GuardiAngelL.
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon, it seems that any screenshot would be identical to whatever is shot on the screen!
Instead of turning zoom off, change the zoom filter to “none”. It’s automatically set to low light. The photo below is a screenshot with zoom on and filter off.
See my post above. You need to turn off the zoom filter. Settings>Accessibility>Zoom>Filter
Its likely set to dark by default. Turn it off
tap on zoom filter and put none and your screenshots will be back to normal , no need to turn zoom off
All my screenshots are dark?
