iPhone 13 Pro camera flickering issue while zooming in

Hi all, I've had an iPhone 13 Pro since December 2021. The phone is still in excellent condition and frankly still looks brand new. The only problem is recently the phone has developed a flickering when I zoom the camera on 3x or higher. The .5x and 1x still work flawlessly. I was wondering if any of you know what the issue could be. Is it a software or hardware issue?


I literally just paid off the phone through ATT earlier this month which is very frustrating. I planned on replacing the battery since I'm at 85% and holding onto the phone for a couple of more years before upgrading to a new phone but now this makes me wonder what I should do. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Try it under bright sunlight. Take the slow mo picture under sunlight and see if it flickers. I am sure it won't.


If it doesn't then it is a lighting issue and not a camera issue.



Lighting effects and needs

Lighting plays a crucial role when capturing indoor photos or videos as it greatly impacts the overall quality and aesthetics of the final result. Here are some reasons why lighting is essential in indoor photography and videography:


  1. Adequate lighting ensures that your subject is properly exposed, meaning it is neither too bright nor too dark. Sufficient light helps to maintain clarity, detail, and sharpness in your images or footage, allowing viewers to see the subject clearly.
  2. Appropriate lighting conditions help to reproduce accurate colors in your indoor photos and videos. Different light sources can have varying color temperatures, such as warm (yellowish) or cool (bluish) tones. Understanding and controlling the lighting in your environment enables you to achieve the desired color accuracy and white balance.
  3. Properly balanced lighting helps to minimize harsh shadows or blown-out highlights, creating a more balanced and visually pleasing composition. By strategically positioning light sources or using reflectors, you can control the shadows and highlights to enhance the overall depth and dimension of your indoor shots.
  4. Lighting has the power to set the mood and create a specific atmosphere in your indoor visuals. For example, soft and diffused lighting can generate a calm and intimate ambiance, while dramatic or directional lighting can evoke a sense of mystery or tension. Understanding how different lighting techniques influence the mood allows you to craft the desired emotional impact in your photos or videos.
  5. Being able to control the lighting in indoor settings provides you with greater creative freedom. You can experiment with various lighting setups, such as using natural light, artificial lighting, or a combination of both. Additionally, manipulating the direction, intensity, and color of light allows you to create unique and captivating visual effects, enhancing the storytelling aspect of your indoor photography or videography.


Considering these factors, investing time and effort into understanding and utilizing proper lighting techniques will significantly enhance the quality, impact, and overall aesthetic appeal of your indoor photos and videos.
