Ios15 iPhone 13 brightens every dark photo

I just got the new iPhone 13 Pro. When I take a photo of a person in dark light, it takes the photo and looks good… but as soon as I view it in photos it automatically changes it to a bright photo like it’s in good lighting.


I’ve already turned off night mode, exposure down, etc. My iPhone 11 Pro could take good dark photos, so this should be even better. There seems to be no way to stop this. I’ve preserved settings and turned everything off, yet still it brightens every photo - and I don’t mean a slight adjustment.. it’s taking a dark photo and making it bright.


Please tell me how to fix this. It happens on both front and facing cameras.

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

I totally agree with you! I also bought this iphone because of the camera. I’m used to the soft, warm and natural tones of the images with my iphone xs. And I expected the same with the iphone 13 pro. But this thing with the camera, adding effects and "correcting" the photo is a total disappointment !! I am thinking of going back to iphone xs.

The opposite happens to me on my 13 Pro and it’s incredibly frustrating. My photo will look well lit before hitting the capture button yet then once I capture the image, the phone auto processes it and makes it look darker/throws the coloring off. I’ve tried playing around with all the settings and nothing seems to work. Seems to mainly happen with the front camera on mine. Really hope they fix this soon. It doesn’t make the phone/camera fun to use,

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