Why is the 5x camera lens on my iPhone 16 Pro acting unstable?

Hello. I am having problems with the 5x lens on my phone's camera. The phone is very unstable when switching lenses, it switches instantly without stopping. Also, when switching to 5x, there used to be a very smooth transition, but now it is an extremely harsh transition. There is a recording I made on the Youtube Video link.

The iPhone 16 Pro's 5x camera lens may seem unstable due to several factors, including the lens's auto-switching to macro mode, lens correction settings, or potential software glitches. To troubleshoot this, try turning off "Lens Correction" in settings, disabling macro mode, force closing the camera app, restarting your phone, or updating to the latest iOS version.
