iPhone 12 Pro Max camera issues

In the real world, settings for different light conditions are what makes the difference between poor point-and-shoot and high quality equipment.

Sure, you can use it as a point and shoot, but as with a $5000 professional camera, if you do, you won't like the results.

The best example is if you try to take 60 FPS video in a room lit with LEDs running off 50 Hz AC power in Europe, your scenes are going to look like they are illuminated by strobe light.

Yes no issue or less issue (Subject to how good the light is) Trust me it’s working all perfectly fine. Also one last but important tip... Always clear the ram and then restart the phone once before shooting anything. Nothing wrong with the hardware, i already had a word with Apple. It’s just that these lenses are highly sensitive and need enough light to do perfectly fine when it comes to shooting videos.

PS : I wish they had night mode too for shooting the videos.

Warm Regards,

I can't speak about stuttering as I don't own iPhone12.

But flickering (exposure "warrble") is a bug known for a long time, which is related to other iPhones too (in my case - XS and 11Pro) and apple does nothing to fix it for sooo long...

Even you lock the exposure (by long pressing on the screen), it still changes - which makes no sense at all.

The exposure shifting is basically Apple's DTM (dynamic tone mapping). It's impossible to turn this "feature" off even by app makers like FilmicPRO. I see a lot complains about this all over the web!

There was a commercial movie taken entirely with an iPhone 8 - "High flying bird" by Steven Soderbergh and he also was so frustrated about this issue. https://momofilmfest.com/soderbergh-reveals-issues-with-iphone-filmmaking/

I also went back to a Pixel 4 after 3-4 months trying to make my 12 pro max take good pictures through resets, updates, (I shouldn't have to do that to begin with) and... pictures blow the 12 pro max out of the water in most conditions with no effort in my part. I now regret not taking the same approach you did and just returning the 12 pro max.

I have an issue on (iPhone 12 Pro), i just got it before 2 weeks. When i take a video on (0.5x ultra wide lens at 4k 60fps) and click touch the screen to focus it lags very baddly as if i’m using slow motion. Once the focus (square) is gone, everything is back to normal.

this only happen on 4k 60fps ultra wide lens.

check out this video

At 0:33 of the video

You can see the sky flickering

It does happened on my Pro Max too

That is certainly not normal behavior, and you should contact Apple Support about it directly:

If your 12 Pro Max won’t focus but another does, yours should be looked at as it likely needs to be serviced.

As always, if you are experiencing issues, contact Apple Support directly:

I received my iphone 12 pro today and I was testing my camera. When I tried 0.5 zoom there is a weird screen on one side of the phone. Does anyone know if its the hardware issue ?

I should have guessed, the photo clarity was compressed.

Observe the right side of the frame, there appears a white sort of line with 0.5x zoom similar to this

Video records glitchy when use in 4K 60fps

Here are the images with full quality, first is with default iOS camera app and second with Hallide... much better the Hallide one (made with iPhone 12 Pro Max on iOS 14.3)

I tried it on my iPhone and the camera with 1x can not focus indeed. But with 2,5x, it’s ok. Let’s hope that it won’t be hardware related and the next update can fix this also.

That focus is happening on the 1x lens for me too and it is so disappointing as I use my camera everyday. I hope they fix it ASAP
