Ios15 iPhone 13 brightens every dark photo

I’m having the same issues with my iPhone 13 and it’s sooo annoying , the picture looks all bright and perfect before I take it and after I take it, it gets darker and bad. Have you found a solution 😭

kindly let me know

Literally bought this phone specifically for the camera. Every time i take a picture it auto adjust and the picture grainy and no longer has much color and i have to edit it and pick a live photo i like better…it’s annoying to do that EVERY dang picture. Apple needs to fix this ASAP

YES i am also experiencing this and it’s so frustrating!! the only work around I’ve figured out is making sure live photos is on and once I’ve taken the photo, editing and selecting a different “key photo” for the live photo. it’s agitating because every other frame in the live photo looks normal and how I would expect it to look before the phone auto adjusts the **** out of the brightness.

I really wish there was some way to turn off this over correction

This has got to be fixed Apple, you’re not doing us any favors when the capture looks so much different than pre-capture. Not to mention how much this artificial brightening degrades quality. The camera is unusable indoors unless next to a window with natural light.

So this is what helps:

turn raw on - that way you will have access to the unedited photo

after you take a picture and iPhone brightens it like crazy click on edit and you will see how photo will go back to its original state. In order to save it like that wimpy move the exposure setting to the left or right, doesn’t matter and then click on save and you will have an un-edited photo.

too annoying to do it on every photo, but at least it helps.

Like just about every large company Apple has both formal technical support and an area where users can discuss technical issues with other users. And, like all of those other companies, Apple does not participate in any significant way in the user-to-user discussions, as that might inhibit the free flow of ideas. The formal name of this area is Apple Support Communities. The “Communities” should be a giveaway that this isn’t a formal support site. And if that doesn’t, the site itself is https://discussions.apple.com. The “discussions” is another giveaway.

Apple’s formal support can be reached several ways:

• Click on “Get Support” at the top of this page
• Go to Apple Support

Note that both of the above have options to receive a callback or chat

• Install the Apple Support app on your iPhone or iPad
• Call Apple Support; the phone numbers are in this link→Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
• Make a Genius Bar appointment at an Apple Store→Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
• Find an Apple store or Apple partner service provider→https://apple.com/retail
• DM @AppleSupport on Twitter
• You can also provide feedback to Apple at→ https://apple.com/feedback

About the only communications method not used by Apple support is inbound email, probably because the volume would be overwhelming, and separating the wheat from the chaff (or, to us engineers, a poor signal to noise ratio) would be almost impossible.

That is a great way of explaining ASC. I’m going to plagiarize it, if that’s OK with you.

Sure, go ahead. You're also welcome to reply to a "hater" of that explanation HERE.

Hello amcllelan,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

To confirm, does this happen with the Camera? Or is this happening with third party apps? If using one, try the other.

Also, is this happening right after taking photos with the camera or is it changing it when opening older photos too.

Make sure you've done a restart and that you're using the latest iOS version:

Restart your iPhone Sometimes a restart can help resolve issues.

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

When viewing a photo to edit, what does your exposure, contrast and brightness settings show? Is it at 0 and does adjusting it help? Take and edit photos on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Cheers!

Those of us old enough to remember “film” also remember Kodachrome film, which made all images brighter that what the photographer saw. So this isn’t anything new. In fact, Paul Simon even incorporated it into a song: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/paulsimon/kodachrome.html

Kodachrome

They give us those nice bright colors

They give us the greens of summers

Makes you think all the world's

a sunny day

I got a Nikon camera

I love to take a photograph

So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Kodak’s alternative was Ektachrome, which produced truer colors (and had the advantage that you could develop it yourself; Kodachrome had to be factory-developed by Kodak).
