Hey there, Matysdrummer.

Do you notice this only when recording drum videos or does this happen with any videos captured with the rear camera? Have you noticed this anywhere else? We want to make sure we fully understand what's going on.

If you haven't already, you can try the steps below to see if that may help resolve this issue:

1. You could see if restarting your iPhone 13 mini helps: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support Restarting refreshes the iOS and can possibly help resolve issues.
2. You'll want to ensure that your iPhone 13 mini is fully up-to-date: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support iOS updates can include issue fixes and sometimes resolve unexpected issues. If there is an update available, please make sure to backup first: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Since you've isolated the issue to the Camera app and recording videos, please try to Force the app to close.

If the original problem persists after trying our suggested troubleshooting steps, then give the steps here a try: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won't open.
