How to fix overexposure issues on iPhone 14 Pro Max Photos?

I purchased my IPhone 14 Pro Max today and it has an annoying over exposure that it does to all my photos. It look very different from what I'm seeing on the screen when I'm taking the photo. How do I fix this to get this automatic over exposure turned off?

If you are experiencing over or under exposure in either the Photo Mode or Portrait Mode, check your exposure compensation (EC) setting, icon below. There is a separate EC for photo mode and portrait mode. If you intentionally or accidentally set this off of zero, the offset will stay until you physically reset it to zero. Any offset will show up in the upper left of your screen with the mini histogram. Click on the histogram to open EXC and reset.


No guarantees, but this may solve your problem.

Way unhappy. Have been trying to take pictures of some wildlife. Which I have done for years with my 11 pro Max. Pictures look fine when I take them when when go to view them they are so grainy at times it’s even unable to tell what you took a picture of. At this point I am not happy I spent $1400 on a new 14 Pro Max and gave my 11 Pro Max to a happy family member.


what’s up?

I upgraded from 12 pro max to 14 pro max and i can confirm the quality of photos on the latest greatest iphone 14 pro max is horrible.


Before i take the picture it looks fine, but when i open it on photos it’s very sharpened and grainy. almost as if there’s a filter on it. i went in settings and turned off view full hdr but didn’t notice a difference. All pictures i take especially the selfies apply this grainy metallic horrible color.


APPLE YOU NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP!


I bought two 14 pro max for me and my wife and both of them do the same horrible after effect to pictures. We are very disappointed on the latest iPhones.


Readers be aware do not buy the latest iphone 14 until they fix this issue.
