iPad 6gen video or picture is very grainy

I know there was grainy issues. With iPad back in 2012. Does the iPad 6gen also have that same problem or is there a setting I can make it better? Just sitting on the couch trying t take a selfie. Can’t even tell it’s a photo of me.

Base model iPads, like the 5th gen all the way through to the 8th gen iPad, ALL STILL have the very crawpy 1.2 mp pixel front facing FaceTime cameras that have been with iPads since the 2012, 3rd gen iPad.

You are simply NOT going to get very good selfies from that very low 1.2mp camera.

The back camera of your year and model iPad has a much better, respectable, 8mp camera, but needs good lighting conditions to use it for photo/image taking, because of lack of an LED flash feature near the camera lens.


Sorry
