Weird white dots on the photo
Yesterday I saw weird white dots during the photo shoot in low lighting. The lens seems to be clear. What could have happened?
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
It's a phenomenon known as lens flare.
What is lens flare?

Yes it is perfectly normal. Even DSLRs have this issue. Its from light bouncing off the back of the lens, it can't be e.iminated.
So just to be sure, everything with my phone is ok? Because I took at least 100 shoot in the night but anything like that never happened.
