Hey jack4697,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


This issue may be related high dynamic range (HDR) being set to automatic on your device. You can the steps to adjust this setting here: Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone. We provided the steps below off automatic HDR.

By default, iPhone automatically uses HDR when it’s most effective. On some iPhone models, you can manually control HDR instead.
* On iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 models, iPhone SE (2nd generation), and iPhone 12 models: Go to Settings  > Camera, then turn off Smart HDR. Then from the camera screen, tap HDR to turn it off or on.
* On iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X: Go to Settings > Camera, then turn off Auto HDR.
* To turn HDR back on from the camera screen, tap HDR, then tap On.

Take care.
