Videos taken on iPhone 12 have a dark tone

Hi, my iPhone 12 takes lovely photos but the videos are awful. They have a really dark tone to them and don’t look great at all. They are very dull and lack colour. If I take a photo and a video in the same location with the same lightning etc the difference is very noticeable. My husband has the iPhone 12 mini and his videos are vibrant with lots of colour. Any ideas?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, Cindyl2020!


We understand you're seeing a lack of color when recording videos from your iPhone 12. We'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.


Try checking the setting for HDR: Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone

It's possible that this is the reason why your videos are not as vibrant as the ones your husband's iPhone 12 mini records.


Let us know the results.

Have a great day!
