4 Ways to Fix a flashing iPhone camera

Below are some ways to fix the iPhone’s flashing camera:

1 - Take lighting into account

As we have told you before, your iPhone camera blinks when you take a photo or video due to a lighting issue. Therefore, the first thing we advise you to check is the lighting of the environment where you are.

If you are indoors, LED or fluorescent lights are likely the cause of your iPhone's camera flickering. This is usually the case in a store, office, or restaurant since the main light comes from these spotlights.

Therefore, we advise you to always look for natural light, turn off these types of light sources, or lower their intensity. And if that is not possible, the following tricks will surely help you.

2 - Change frames per second

To improve the quality of the video and hide this flickering, you can reduce the frame rate to 24 fps. You can do it directly on your iPhone camera.

When you choose the video format, two numbers appear at the top. The first one on the right is the one with the frames. As a base, it is indicated with a 30. Click on it to change them until you reach 24. It's that simple!

3 - Turn up the brightness before you start recording

Another way to stop your iPhone camera from flickering is to reduce brightness. This will allow more light to enter your camera lens.

While inside the camera, click on the screen of your iPhone in the place you want to focus. You will see a yellow square appear along with the sun, slide the sun up along the yellow line, and you will increase the brightness of your camera.

4- Change optical zoom

Changing your camera's optical zoom may also be helpful. For example, the x 0.5 zoom is the brightest. And consequently, using it will reduce the camera's flickering sensation. In other optical zooms, such as the x1, this effect may be more noticeable since it is a darker lens that captures less light.
