When taking pics of the moon or a bright light, i'll get what looks like a reflective blue dot in the photo. I can see the blue dot dancing around as i move the iPhone. Is there something i need to do to avoid this problem? I don't recall having this issue with my iPhone X.
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
Does this Blue Dot appear on every photo on the same spot same size? If no read the Wiki article below. If yes then clean your camera surface and if that does not resolve the issue then Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
Lens flare refers to a phenomenon wherein light is scattered or flared in a lens system, often in response to a bright light, producing a sometimes undesirable artifact within the image. This happens through light scattered by the imaging mechanism itself, for example through internal reflection and scattering from material imperfections in the lens. Lenses with large numbers of elements such as zooms tend to exhibit greater lens flare, as they contain a relatively large number of interfaces at which internal scattering may occur. These mechanisms differ from the focused image generation mechanism, which depends on rays from the refraction of light from the subject itself.

Thank you for the reply. My situation is the latter. While i don't often take photos of bright lights, this flaw or imperfection is annoying to say the least. I'm wondering if this occurs in only the iPhone 12 or in other phones with zoom capabilities or SLR cameras...
