iPhone 12 camera flicker on video recording

i have the iphone 12 pro, and i also experienced the same problem! My video is flickering, it hurts my eye to watch it.. This is just a normal video with lights on.

Same happening to me but no there's no fix :(
Running iOS 14.4 Beta 1

Same here with iPhone 12 on 14.3.

Hi,

12 Pro with 14.4 update.
Making video in the dark with flash the same problem with 1080p at 60fps. The video flashes and many light sources make noise on the screen.

Exactly the same problem exists on iOS 14.4

I have the same problem on iphone 12 pro max while shooting at 1080p at 60fps. The video is completely unusable.

I have the iphone 12 pro max and I get the flickering in high contrast areas too. It doesn't matter if I record in 60 or 30 fps for HDR. I use my phone to record videos for my social media channel. If they can fix this the rest is blinking amazing.

Come on apple it has been like this since the phone was released. surly you should have fixed this obvious bug by now!

All my filming is outdoors! This isnt anything to do with LED lights etc

So, yes your observations are bang on. 60 images per second is much faster than our eye. The lights at home cannot be constantly on. These lights will turn off and on very very fast so that our eyes can’t notice it. However, at 60fps, the camera can. The 11 pro did not have this problem. I guess apple had made better software for that camera. If you go out, you won’t notice this if there’s sunlight. Just wait for a bit, I am hoping Apple will address this issue and give us a software update.

HI i just bought a 12 pro and am having the same issue.

Yes same issue here.I replaced my iPhone 12 Pro once no difference.If I go to beach and walk around and record video it flickers all over.If you don’t move much then it does not .My friend had the same issue recording over snow.Also recording towards sun you can see some parallel artifacts on background.I could not figure if something wrong with hardware or software.To my knowledge every 12 series produces same results.Amazing Apple did not acknowledge or attempted to fix the issue.Disappointing Apple!!

As one other person here has said, I’ve seen it in high contrast video as well. For example, a shot I took of my wife paddle boarding. 3/4 of the image is the water, so there’s lots going on there with waves etc. The sky is noticeably flickering. It has nothing to do with lights. I have two guesses at what is going on. Either the phone is guessing wrong at when to adjust for the darker and lighter parts of the image - frequently trying to make small adjustments to the exposure. Or, the iPhone isn’t actually capable of capturing HDR video in one shot per frame, and instead for every frame recording it’s taking two shots at different exposures - one to capture the brighter part of the image, and one to capture the darker part, but when we see the flickering it’s doing a bad job of blending them together. Whatever is causing this, it’s definitely something apple should address... but you know... will they? (iPhone 12 pro max)

Hi, same problem here I have iPhone 12 Pro when I take a video and is not smooth and flickering, doesn’t matter even if I change the resolution. And also when I take a story from Instagram.

I just bought an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I have this issue, currently running iOS 14.8. Can’t believe this has been an issue that shipped with these phones and they haven’t even addressed it. Probably going to return it.

i have the same problems. How to fix it ?

I have iOS 15.0 ip12 pro max from Philippines. Even with the latest iOS I still have flicker while watching videos or even for my Tiktok videos, barely cant watch the video well.
