The camera in the iPhone 17 has been reviewed as one of the best, if not the best, camera in the industry. Your experience is not typical. You can try simply restarting your iPhone. If that doesn't make things better it’s time to take your iPhone to an Apple Store or Apple authorized service provider for examination and diagnosis. That’s what your warranty is for.
