Hello matthieulangevin,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you have some questions about the exposure lock on your camera, and we'd like to help. As this is not a current feature, we'd recommend leaving feedback about that here: Product Feedback - Apple

Hello matthieulangevin,


If you go to Settings > Camera > Exposure Adjustment, is this enabled? If not, it will not preserve the exposure adjustment, rather than automatically reset and always show the exposure adjustment indicator.


In case that doesn't answer your question, then it may be best to provide feedback about this directly to Apple here: Product Feedback - Apple


Keep in mind, Apple reviews all feedback, but you may not hear back on any given. Apple does not request unsolicited ideas.


Take care.

I think you miss understood the question. When you open the camera app on the i phone 14, in the video mode if you press and hold a spot on the screen you can lock the focus and the exposure, however in cinematic mode it only locks the focus, not the exposure and although you can manually change the exposure there is no way to lock it so it changes when you move from an illuminated subject to a dark one

Hi matthieulangevin,


Looking at the below articles, we see that there are exposures you can save, and you can save Cinematic mode. However, it may not allow with multiple settings.

We could be wrong, but if you're not able to do so, that would explain it.

Verify that you are following the correct steps, and test again.
