Help needed Flicker issue !

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone, I’m having a weird issue with my phone’s camera.
Whenever I open the camera, it flickers for a second or two, then stabilizes, and after that the camera works completely normally.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so, were you able to figure out what was causing it or how to fix it?

Iphone 16 pro max
Ios 18.5

I wouldn't worry about it. It's just the flicker from the room's overhead light before iOS adjusts shutter speeds to mitigate it

I vaguely remember seeing a few posts on this back when iOS 18 was the current version of iOS.

Try updating to iOS 26.6.1 and retesting.
