How to disable auto-dimming on my iPhone?

i have turned all of them off that i know of auto-brightness, True tone, attention aware features, night shift, and my phone still auto dims when the sun or bright light hits the front facing camera lens. My phone is not hot so I’m highly doubting it is because of overheating, it is when the sun hits the lense that it dims and when the shadow comes back over it it brightens. I have True Tone turned off so why is it doing this?

Thank you for the reply, as I mentioned in the posting I have that feature turned off

Sorry for misreading your post. Your iPhone can dim its brightness if it’s exposed to the sun to preserve battery charge, prevent overheating and to help battery longevity as heat is just not good for an iPhone in any way. Especially if the iPhone has low battery the brightness can dim. By dimming the brightness it doesn’t have to run as such an intense level. I don’t think there’s a way to turn that off.
