iPhone 15 Pro Camera - Picture in dark/night with Lamp(Light) is too bright

Hi,

I don't know where I'm doing wrong or what I should set, but when I take a photo on the iPhone 14 Pro in the evening and the same on the iPhone 15 Pro, there is too much brightness around the lights on the 15 Pro. Photo from the 14 Pro is then much better.


Do you know what it could be?

Thanks

Lighting plays a crucial role when capturing indoor photos or videos as it greatly impacts the overall quality and aesthetics of the final result. Here are some reasons why lighting is essential in indoor photography and videography:


  1. Adequate lighting ensures that your subject is properly exposed, meaning it is neither too bright nor too dark. Sufficient light helps to maintain clarity, detail, and sharpness in your images or footage, allowing viewers to see the subject clearly.
  2. Appropriate lighting conditions help to reproduce accurate colors in your indoor photos and videos. Different light sources can have varying color temperatures, such as warm (yellowish) or cool (bluish) tones. Understanding and controlling the lighting in your environment enables you to achieve the desired color accuracy and white balance.
  3. Properly balanced lighting helps to minimize harsh shadows or blown-out highlights, creating a more balanced and visually pleasing composition. By strategically positioning light sources or using reflectors, you can control the shadows and highlights to enhance the overall depth and dimension of your indoor shots.
  4. Lighting has the power to set the mood and create a specific atmosphere in your indoor visuals. For example, soft and diffused lighting can generate a calm and intimate ambiance, while dramatic or directional lighting can evoke a sense of mystery or tension. Understanding how different lighting techniques influence the mood allows you to craft the desired emotional impact in your photos or videos.
  5. Being able to control the lighting in indoor settings provides you with greater creative freedom. You can experiment with various lighting setups, such as using natural light, artificial lighting, or a combination of both. Additionally, manipulating the direction, intensity, and color of light allows you to create unique and captivating visual effects, enhancing the storytelling aspect of your indoor photography or videography.


Considering these factors, investing time and effort into understanding and utilizing proper lighting techniques will significantly enhance the quality, impact, and overall aesthetic appeal of your indoor photos and videos.

Judging the capabilities of a camera based solely on a visual comparison between two photos might not provide an accurate assessment. It's essential to delve beyond the image's surface and examine the intricate details of the camera settings employed to capture these images. Understanding the specific configurations, such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other parameters, contributes significantly to comprehending the true potential of the camera. If these settings aren't readily available, exploring the metadata embedded within the images on their respective devices can unveil crucial information. By accessing this metadata, one can uncover valuable insights into the technical aspects of the photographs, empowering a more informed evaluation of the camera's performance.

Thanks for the response,

but I didn't make any camera settings on the iPhone 14, 15 either.

So they are set by default.


I took both pictures 30 seconds apart. So I don't understand why the 14 Pro has a photo without that awful brightness around the light source and the newer 15 Pro is so overexposed?
