iPhone 13 pro lens flare

This we can agree on. But instead of any camera system arbitrarily deciding what data to capture and what to ignore, Apple could add a new editing tool, which operates like a healing brush, which you could then identify artifacts in photos you want removed. This would give you full control, but not let a system, Apple's or anyone else's license to alter a photo at its inception.

Yes that would also be an cool idea, though I would prefer to have an auto function for this, of course with a setting where you can turn it off and then like you said add a tool that lets your remove them manually. If you ever read here apple make it happen, I bet you can do it :)

Can I ask you a question? Or anyone else here who can test something for me. If you go to settings and scroll down to the camera app, then in the camera settings you have something now that you can enable to preserve any changes you make to nightmode, exposure, and some other things. When those are enabled it will remember the last settings and changes you made in the camera for next time you open the camera app. That also means if you don't enable any of them the app will reset any changes you made and set them back to default next time you open the camera, so you dont have to do it yourself manually.

My problem is that the camera app doesn't reset the changes like it should, every time I open the camera it will show the last settings I made. This is a bit annoying since it shouldnt do that. I have an iphone 12 pro max with latest iOS, I checked on my moms phone, she has a 12 pro, and her's have the same problem. If any of you can test and see if yours are behaving the same way.

"With iOS12, the Camera app will automatically reset to the default settings every time you exit the app." thats how it used to be for me also but not anymore, no more auto resetting :(

I might call support and ask them if they know anything, this have to be a bug or something.

Sorry, I didn't see this last night. It was my company holiday dinner last night, and I'm tied up with family from out of town today. I'll try to mess with this tonight when everyone leaves and report back.

Maybe Dogcow has some time today to check?

No it wasnt youtube, the link was to mega where I uploaded the video. I seen people post video links before so not sure what was wrong here but it's okay if they dont allow people to share informal relevant videos about the topic in question thats fine. Just wanted to share what I experienced :)

I think that is not the case B.6

According with B.5 it seems we can submit link to a test about Apple product

But there is always option E.2😊;

“Apple reserves the right to delete any Submission, or take action against any account, at any time, for any reason”

Hello ~ No…I was referring to this:

**Discussion of Apple policies or procedures or Apple’s moderation of the Site.**

I didn’t see your video link so I can’t comment on that. One thing I would say is if the iPhone you have is not satisfactory sell it and get something else. I myself would never have any device that caused me so much stress and turmoil.

Hello ~ No…I like you am just a fellow forum user. We cannot remove anything. I think that you are quite bright as a matter of fact and could be a great help by answering questions as we do here in our beloved community. I would encourage you to browse the forum and find questions that you can help others with. Study the terms of use and branch out as that is how I got started here but I warn you it can become addictive :) Be well and Happy Holidays.

Same - it never happened with my 8 plus or any before. I was very disappointed with this camera … I was thinking it would be so much better and it’s awful.all flash photos look like this. The light whitens everything smh.

Thank you Deerpark243 - agreed. I am no professional photographer or comment. I think the iphone4 had the best camera for the regular iPhone users and it seems like they’ve gone downhill since then for people that just want simplicity and easy to point and shoot pictures. I’m not trying to stop on the go to become a professional photographer haha. Thank you for being responsive and understanding.

Hello ~ I also participate in a thread that at last check had 116 pages of people that have simply forgotten their iPhone passcode so threads may get very long indeed and for many reasons as well. It is a surety that many of us that participate here in our forum everyday do indeed consider many things before just throwing up a post. We are volunteers who dedicate hours of our time to help many, many people with all different types of problems every single day and none of us work for Apple. So just know we are putting out some of the best information that we can to help you…why else would we do this ?

This is “normal” for you? If this is “normal” well you do your good job in company. This never happens with S10+ or Note 20 ultra. I switched to 13 pro max cos i want a change and i got it. Phone is great, battery fantastic, screen is beautifull (ok Samsung made it), refresh rate great, apps great but .. this little stupid dot is somehow ruined complete picture. Maybe in some software update this little dot will disapear. 😉

Well, you obviously didn’t look at the examples in the link I posted, which included 3 Samsungs, a Samsung Galaxy S21, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy S20. So how can you possibly say it never happens with Samsungs, when there are 3 examples staring right out at you in the collection I posted?

I just purchased my iPhone 13 Max Pro one week prior, and of course, I am experiencing the same issue and all of my photos are horrendous. I have no idea how people are getting physics involved. Some of these replies are extremely ludicrous. So all of this flare is now normal?! This is absolutely ridiculous and due to this absurd and continued issue, I will no longer remain an Apple customer. I've had enough of this nonsense.

Yes thats strange, must be the angle or something, but im also surprised the flares are not there on your wide shot. Nice photos though :)

Sometimes you can be lucky that the phone removes some of the flares after the shot has been taken, I know people will say it's not possible but I already explained before that it is indded possible and I seen it several times when testing. You see the flare on the screen the whole way through till the photo has been taken and processed and after when you look at the photo the flare/flares you saw are gone. But it only happens sometimes for me with certain flares, so just have to be lucky.
