Just open the camera and its starts flickering in all lenses. But in 18.1.1 with in the same environment no flickering observed.
in video if we use PAL format, its not flickering.

Certain types of indoor lights have a pronounced flicker caused by the cycle of the electrical system. Sodium vapor lights have a flicker, as an example.
Why don’t we see the flicker? People have what’s known as persistence of vision. This essentially blurs the flicker so our brain never perceives it.
Cameras however do see it. The flicker in countries using 60 Hz electrical system flicker in multiples of 60. Those countries using 50 Hz systems flicker at multiples of 50. You proved this when you switched from 30 and 60 FPS recording to PAL, which records in multiples of 25 FPS.
What is the solution? Shoot in 24 FPS or PAL (25 FPS), change the light source or record the scene with a camera that has an adjustable frame rate to eliminate the flicker (some cameras have this automatically built in, some have manually variable rates and others have an off/on switch).

Thank you Jeff, for the information. But here my query is after 18.2 update this has been observed. Whereas in 18.1.1 this issue is not there in same exact environment. And it’s not in video recording mode. It’s happening in photo mode as well. As i already informed after using PAL format in video, no flicking observed. But in Camera Mode it’s still there.
Is the camera flickering in both indoor and outdoor lighting?
Camera mode works the same way. As the cycles change the camera sees the change in brightness of the lights. Slow the shutter speed down to 1/15 of a second or slower. You may need to use a third party app that allows setting of ISO and/or shutter speed. A neutral density filter might also need to be used to reduce the light levels.
Only in indoor artificial lighting
Why is my iPhone 16 Pro camera flickering after the 18.2 update?
