iPhone 13 Pro Max Camera Switching

Every time I try to take a photo with my back camera, it switches to a poorer quality lens than the one I’m trying to take a photo with. Half of my photos are terrible quality. Camera lock under the video section solved the issue for videos, but how do I fix it for pictures. Please please please put this in one of the updates.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

I actually figured this out this morning. The work around for me is to toggle macro control on in the camera settings and as soon as I see the camera switch over, I click the yellow flower icon in the bottom left corner to turn it off. Once I’ve done this, I go to camera settings -> preserve settings -> toggle on macro control. It seems to have fixed the issue for me!
