IPhone 12 Pro Max Lens flare

Do you know if there are any software/hardware filter to avoid flare effect? In DSLR there are polarized filters to avoid this.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks William, the best way to reduce it as far as I test it is to try to do vertical photo with flare effect at top/bottom and after it cut it in edit menu.

I forgot to mention that I own iPhone 12 Pro Max...

Those are all normal lens flare reflections for the 12 Pro Max and other premium smartphone cameras.

I Just chatted with an apple care agent and sent her the pictures and she said to me that the phone must be checked if not changed. She also mentioned that this is NOT normal.

I’ll let you know what they tell me. Do you have Apple care? I have the transcript of the conversation with the agent.

I do have it, but in my case the support request was over the phone...

It's not that there's a bug or fault with your phone, it's just that the new phones are a bit average in this regard compared to competitors.

Gentlemen I had a 12 (the regular one) for a month and it never shot such ugly night pictures.

. Those photos show flared light sources, quite normal, and don't show any misplaced ghost reflections or green dots, so are actually evidence that one plus is doing it better

Good, then problem solved for you.

Can u send pics of how the lens flare looks now with the replacement phone? Have it in a setting where it’s night out and there’s different bright lights and check if you see green dots.

Can you send a picture to compare ,please?

No need for a DSLR, mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses is where it’s at.

Obviously, you’ve never owned a mirrorless camera.
