Are these signs of camera defects with my iPhone 13 Pro Max? I keep getting these lens flares when taking photos and videos with bright sources of light. Happens allot with the sun during day and bright lights during night.
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15
Yes and they're normal. Before you take the photo, you can easily see the flares on the screen. Alter the angle of the phone relative to the bright lights and you can eliminate the flares.
While these two photos were taken on iPhone 12 Pro Max, you can see what I'm talking about.
This photo show lens flare:
Simply angling the camera differently without moving at all produced this photo:
Okay I see, I thought it was you who removed the link to my video. Im happy with my iphone so all good there. Just wanted to post a short clip I made showing how my iphone was able to remove an unwanted lense flare automatically during the post processing/saving of the photo. The clip was hosted on mega.nz - But maybe it's not allowed to post links from that site. Anyways merry christmas everyone.
Hello ~ This is a good example of lens flare “from any other camera ever made in the past almost 200 years” great point! This is a picture taken with a “shoe box” homemade camera taken from online. The “shoe box” could have repositioned a bit to avoid the flare but a unique picture was taken anyway. So really any camera is susceptible to flare and knowing the limitations and how to work with those are key. The iPhone keyword “phone” is no exception. I enjoy my iPhone camera and have captured many wonderful moments and excellent pictures that I never would have had otherwise so my thanks to Apple.

At least for me, I can verify at least as of iOS 15.2 the Night Mode setting is preserved across relaunches of Camera even with the Preserve Settings option toggled off.
I'm finally home after spending the day with family and I was finally able to check and at least with Night Mode preserved, it doesn't change. Same with Live Photo.
yes, it doesn’t remember. never did, probably never will.
That pic here that you always show is a bit extreme since he is pointing the camera directly on to the bright lights. And he is very close, so not surprised to see flares here ;)
