Love the cameras. But horrible lens flares.
And it seems it’s defective:
One the right, above the window. Green flares from tube lights to the left.
In the middle of the picture:
On the TV screen:
Will try out during the day and post
I can't remember if I showed these two photos here in this thread or in another one on this topic.
Here's a picture I took with flare. I could easily see the flare on my iPhone 12 Pro Max screen before I took the photo, which you could have seen if you were holding my phone as well:
Is my phone defective? No, of course not.
Without moving my position at all, I moved the angle of the camera relative to the scene and took this photo seconds later. Notice anything different? The flares are gone.
cant agree more BUT pro photographers’ lens flares are beautiful and NOT just dots. We are talking about dots here! Whatever shot I take opposite strong light, I get DOTS. Haven’t seen this effect on 300 euro Chinese phones. I wouldn’t mention it at all if there were 1000 normal flares and not 1000 dots!
How to permanently disable night mode ? like LIVE photo in settings , night mode always back on after you close the camera , 1-3 seconds not good for a fast shot , camera powerful even in low light and not required night mode to be on auto , like to see in next update that option to tut off permanently night mode and when you need it turn on , with one tap same like LIVE photo .
Finally a video pointing out the differences on footage. I understand physics but I also understand 2021's technology!
take a look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB4agwMQdaI&feature=youtu.be.
Apple should announce a lens replacement a program! This must be fixed on a 1400EUR device!
nobody but NOBODY seems to comment on why other devices with this good lenses have this effect! It is not justified people when similar devices take proper shots. just take a look on the video posted a few comments above...
Sorry mate but I cannot agree on this...I searched a lot and I did not find a SINGLE lens flare problem with the Samsung s21 phone. See here...https://youtu.be/hkynQdYcXtk?t=159
I love the phone, it is powerful, beautiful, takes great photos BUT you have to try A LOT! if I new this honestly, I wouldn’t have bought it at the beginning. I bought it for the cameras but I would have stayed with my 8 plus which had just good camera BUT NO DOTS.
Not sure that's accurate or really tested much in the wild. Let's accept the S21 has been out just days now.
below is link to a video of the S21 shooting video, which would dispute what you've just claimed. I'm sure as time and more units are in the hands of more people, you'll see loads of people saying their S21 has the same issues ALL the higher-end phones have. And that's because of the smaller lens and the amount of light going into that smaller lens.
I will say from what I've seen the S21 and iPhone 12 Pro are quite similar in capability, which is a good thing. People invested in Android, should be able to enjoy a great camera on their phone. Just like people invested in iOS should as well.
There are loads of comparison articles out now. In them, the iPhone 12 Pro and Samsung S21 both took top spot for some photos, with each winning some and each losing some. The differences however were in my opinion minimal and subjective.
Here's the video --> https://youtu.be/8l-92aty8Ps
OR.....it's so fleeing in that scene, it was hardly worth editing in post production. The fact they can shoot a video of this calibre on a small lensed cell phone is the remarkable achievement. Not many videographers or studios are actually going to shoot full length commercial videos or movies on an iPhone. But clearly, they could if they wanted.
Apple just has to provide a warning to potential owners that they can’t take a sunset unless you put in the center of the frame. For me, I’ve just conceded that I’ll just use my Olympus if I want certain shots. Then I won’t have to find that magical angle that you speak of.
Based on comments, you must be a professional photographer.
How does that work with videos. I've a trove of videos and photos in my iPhoto library spanning many, many years now from many iPhones. I don't have to do post editing to any to get artifact free images or videos, till now. It's a hardline difference here for me. Got new iPhone, boom, day 1 artifacts. Does Snapseed run automatically on photos and videos or can we use it for taking pictures and videos instead of the default camera app and get artifact free content? Like I said, I'm here because this is new to me, and I've never had to deal with this before. Sure I've a few crummy pictures and blurred videos from hasty haphazard shots, but this green artifact, green dots breaking otherwise gorgeous imagery is at a whole new level.
I'm not trying to take a hardline dissenting stance here, but I'm not like this gaslighting thread for sure. It's like we're being told by the "pros" that the gist is this "due to higher quality cameras and lens, you can expect significantly more artifacts and quality issues". This makes no sense at all.
I knew you would answer like this, I don't know if you work for Apple or defend your photography skills or something else,
but then again for ordinary people, if you take photos even with a simple phone 12 or XR, then there isn't much of a difference. , and you know that, yes, if you shoot in difficult lighting in order to take super pictures, then this is understandable, but in general this is a problem of new technologies and it does not matter how you agree or disagree !!! Later this week will do Some compare new and old technology , and you will see difference, and Again What’s the point push technology to another level if you can’t make it simple , then Apple should be advise MAX like super professional camera with extra skills for people like you or others ,

A FB friend posted this picture, and it came through my feed. After seeing the spot I asked if what equipment did he use? There was no indication if it was a camera or a phone. His response was that it was shot with n iPhone 12 PM. It’s so obvious that I could identify it as being shot with a 12 PM. I am a member of a number of photographic FB pages and never have been able ID the equipment used.
I don’t think you’re an Apple employee, but clearly you spend a lot of time defending Apple. Your level and points do show you spend a lot of time in the Apple Community, and I doubt you’ve spent a lot of time criticizing Apple. That’s not how you get points.
