Hello Susan Whitsell,
To start, you'll want to add more specific detail to your post. What is happening when you try to take a Stage Light Portrait picture? Do you press the shutter button but nothing happens? Does it act like it's taking the picture but then never shows up in your camera roll? Does the Camera application become unresponsive or give some sort of error? Etc.
Details like these will help give the community a better idea of what exactly you're seeing so members can provide more relevant responses.
Here's some general info for using the different picture modes that may help: Use Portrait mode on your iPhone
Also, in the meantime make sure you've covered the basics like restarting the device and making sure it's up to date.
Cheers!
Hi Susan Whitsell,
Thanks for providing those details and for attempting those troubleshooting steps. Based on the information you provided, it would be best to contact Apple Support. They have the necessarily tools to investigate this further. You can contact them by using this link here: Get Support
Kind regards.
Thanks for the suggestion to give more info - I have used the directions on the Apple site, to which you referred.
What happens is I set the phone for portrait mode, choose the slider which changes the lighting options, choose "Stage Light", darken the circle, click the button for the photo BUT there is no effect in the photo - I have tried using people and inanimate objects but nothing works.
If I switch to the selfie mode, the entire background is black (no circle around my face).
I have restarted the phone many times to no avail. I've also installed iOS 16.5.1
I hope someone knows the "fix".
Thanks
