Experiencing iPhone 6s front-camera lag?

It's been a while since I tried taking photos using my front-camera in low-light areas. It seems my front-camera takes the pictures after the flash, not during the flash. Anyone with the same problem? iOS is updated to 10.2.1 :)

Hello Ulexes138,


Thanks for offering some solutions. Though, I believe my problem doesn't fall in any one of the categories from the link you sent. I even tried doing some of the troubleshooting steps from the said link. Again, I think my FRONT-CAMERA is having trouble taking pictures in low-light with the screen's flash on. Previously, I've had some good pictures taken in low-light with help of the screen's flash. I've provided some photos to better understand my problem.


First photo was when I last took a picture with my front cam in low-light with flash on.

Second photo was may attempt to take a picture in low-light, screenshot of camera preferences and result of photo taken.User uploaded file
