Green dot issue with iPhone 6 plus when taking video/picture

Lads I have done some seemingly conclusive research and it appears that the dot comes from the "potency" of the suns rays bouncing between the sensor and the glass. Apparently dslr cameras can experience the same problem. Long exposure to the bright sunlight can damage the sensor and this leads to that and the camera experiences a blue/green dot. It is almost unavoidable with non-manual shutters

Hi EagleFox,

See this article concerning lens flare when using your iPhone camera -

iPhone: Camera image has a flare, haze, or spot near the edge

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Best,

I Noticed this yesteday once I uploaded my photos. I cleaned the back lens and took a few pictures. This am the same darn green dot showed up again!! I turned on the video and moved it around. It appears once the sun is in view. My iPhone 4S takes better pictures and my friend's iPhone 5s also does not have the green dot. Since a majority of my photos center around sunrise, sunset, this is screwing me. Have you heard of any solutions?

I Tried tilting the camera. When the sun is in the frame the green dot appears. Your answer to move / tilt the lens is unhelpful and does not work. What the heck did Apple do?? What's the point of this 'fabulous' new camera lens technology when most of us who use an iPhone take pictures of the sun.

I Have this same problem with my 6 plus and would welcome any real solutions. The one listed below did not work.

I got my iPhone 6 plus 2 days ago and found that I had the same problem. The green dot is on every sunset photos I took with the 6 plus. I read the entries on the communities and realized that this is not new problem. I check the photos on my iPhone 5 and found that the green dots are there when there is a strong light source in the background. However, since the screen size of iPhone 5 is smaller, it is less noticeable. Now that the 6 plus screen size is 5.5 inches, the green dots stand out like a sore thumb! I think more and more users will found that unacceptable and Apple would have to find a solution in the next iteration of bigger size iPhone. That's also why the SLR grade camera cannot be replaced just yet...

I am facing the same issue and the problem persists even after trying to take the picture in a different angle. I am a freelance photographer and an issue like this is not acceptable. What other solutions would you recommend ? I am attaching a picture for you to see.

Yeah, I read a post that said part of photography was composition. Exactly, how do you compose a picture of the sunset differently to avoid that green dot. I turned my camera every which way...and their advertisement for the new IPhone cameras says, it's the only camera you will ever need, yeah, right. I am an Apple lover. Total Appple here, MacBook Pro, Iphone 6 Plus, IPad Air and Apple TV so very disappointed this has gone on for so long and still no REAL solution.

I have contacted Apple Support and had a chat with one of their representatives. They believe it could be a hardware issue and have asked me to take it to the carrier for service.

Please let us know what you find out because if that is the case, many of us have the same problem.

I will keep you guys posted on the outcome. Chatting with one of their representatives right now

MY Solution: I aim the darn DOT into the Sun so it's not visible anywhere 😉

See the lens flare problem discussion where this is thoroughly documented: Re: iPhone 6 plus camera issue
