Nightmode

Is there an option to permanently remove night mode? It’s so frustrating to have to turn it off each time I try to take a picture in low lighting. I have 2 little ones that I try to take a quick photo of, and then the night mode delays the picture and the moment is gone.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

Turn off "night mode" or "hold still" photo delay permanently How do I turn off the photo delay permanently? This feature has ruined the timing on so many quick shot photos. I know it's "night mode." It should be able to be disabled permanently. I often want the low light exposure of the actual room. It's what inspires a picture. "Hold camera still" for 3 seconds not only ruins the moment (ex: cats don't often hang out doing the same thing forever) but it misrepresents the actual lighting in the room by overexposing the photo, often in a brighter, bluer way, vs a more sedate or red/amber dimness. I WANT the dimness... I hate this clumsy feature and I wish there was a way to disable it, and would like to see it entered as a bug report. I know it can be disabled from the camera app, but it somehow always ends up back on. I keep turning it off (same with flash) and it ends up back on. Why? The current lighting conditions (as perceived by the eye) have a lot to do with the decision to take a picture in the first place--and then Apple defaults my camera to CHANGING the lighting when the picture is taken. That's anti-artistic and counterintuitive.

Poor Night Mode Photos My problem is not turning Night Mode on or off. I want it on for dark scene situations but I want it to take pictures with true brightness. My experience with Night Mode is that on every shot the shutter stays open TOO long leading to a pic that is arguably bright but way too light, leading to an inaccurate brightness compared to the actual scene. Turning Night Mode off results in no picture at all. I want to see either the iphone more accurately adjust shutter time to true scene brightness or to at least allow the user to adjust shutter time to achieve the brightness they desire. The scaling is already there with that useless Auto/Max thing so why not let the user quickly and easily manipulate it to their desired shutter time? For what I use iPhone this by far my biggest issue as it is my primary camera for everything pic.

You can use the Preserve Settings option and ensure that Night Mode switch is set to ON so that once your turn Night Mode OFF, then it will remember the next time you take a picture to keep it OFF.

Open Settings ➡️ Camera ➡️ Preserve Settings ➡️ Night Mode: Ensure that this switch is set to ON.
