Hello hanna161,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to make sure the camera is working perfectly for you and showing the AE/AF lock feature.

Use the steps here:

"Your camera focuses and adjusts exposure automatically based on what you’re pointing it towards. You can tap a different area in the viewfinder to change the focus and exposure. If you want to keep the focus and exposure in the same spot, press and hold on the screen until you see AE/AF Lock."


This Apple Support page has the full details: Use camera modes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

If the issue remains, try a normal restart to see if that helps. Make sure you're using Photo mode in the Camera app to see if that helps.

We hope this helps to resolve the issue by checking your settings and restarting the device if needed.

Cheers!
