iPhone 12 camera flicker on video recording

There's a video on YouTube that demonstrates this issue very well in normal shooting conditions. The guy's just walking around outside.

He definitely has HDR turned on based on the overall look of the video, but as previous tests show the flickering effect is unrelated to that setting. And by flickering I mean different parts of the image going brighter and darker in a very annoying manner as the camera moves.

I hope all users who have this problem report it to Apple, so they could come up with a fix soon.

I have same issue while recording in rooms with led lights, my camera is flickering. Only at 60 fps 4k/1080 - both.

Iphone 12 mini - before 14.3 and now 14.4 beta 2 during has issue.

You think its a software? On iphone se 2020 same video record and this issue not happened.

100% the software. Easy test for anyone out there to see how the dynamic tone mapping is working, find a laser pointer and video record it. On walls, it can instantly change the color tonality of the wall, I found this out playing with my cats.

Another way I’ve seen the threshold in action is to be in a fairly dim room and focus on a door that has a light source. Face the camera towards something in the dimly lit room, Lock the exposure and focus by doing a long press. Move towards the door, you will notice the illuminated doorway will get brighter, but as you pan away, it gets dark again. There should be no adjustments first of all if I lock something, and secondly, it works opposite of what you’d want, I’d need more light in the darker room, not less.

Another weird issue I have seen is when recording in a dim room with 240 FPS, the video records fine, but on the screen it sort of ‘flashes’, it will be at normal brightness, get really dim over 5 seconds and then back to normal brightness and repeat.

So many weird issues with this phone.

Hi there! I recently found a problem with video recording with flickering video.The problem occurs when i try to film slow motion videos (240 fps) indoors.It seems led indoor lighting has something to do as switching off the lights and filming with natural light solves the flicker problem...Is there any other solution for the problem ?

i tried yesterday on iphone X , 1080p 60 frames and it flickering too :(, led light inside my kitchen. I havent tried outside but i am very upset as i thought its problem only for iphone 12 or 12 pro, so, i gave up, in Europe flickering is being not fought :(

Same issue here. But it’s interesting that I have this problem only in two rooms in the house while the lights are on. If I shoot video (4K 60 fps) in the dining room, the video flickers. If I do this in the bedroom, it doesn’t.

Is it possible that it has to do with the electrical network? Because the video otherwise looks good. In 30 fps there’s no problem.

Hola tengo el mismo problema que tu, en españa compre un iphone 12 pro max en benotac ( apple premium resseller) y se estan haciendo la vista gorda que lo debe mirar un tecnico el lunes para ve que me dice pero durante la semana han transcurrido 7 dias de cambio o devolucion por defecto y nose que hacer si ir a seguirlo intentando que me lo cambien o esperar una actualizacion de software. Yo tambien he ido al corte ingles y probw justamente un 12 pro max y està justamente igual al mio. Si me puedes ayudar te lo agradezco de la angustia que tengo ante gastar tanto dinero y que esté defectuoso. Espero tu respuesta
