Am I the only one having semi-regular camera crashes on the 11 Pro? Sometimes I take a photo and nothing happens and the cameras go black. Sometimes the whole app just closes. Maybe 1 out of 8 times I launch the camera and take a photo. On iOS 13.1. Happens the most when launching from the lock screen.

I just tried to take a photo of a WalMart receipt and it crashed 3 times... when it did take a photo it took a dark photo even though I had the flash on and the flash did fire... as in, it seemed to take the photo separately from when the flash went off. On the next photo it worked correctly and was flashed. Took me 2 minutes to take a stupid photo of a receipt.

I think this receipt photo was especially bad because there’s a QR code on WalMart receipts and I could see the camera reading it and a little notification would pop up to go to a site in Safari and then crash the camera. But I’m having camera crashes on regular subjects from time to time as well.

I have another problem with my iPhone 11 Pro camera where in "1x mode" I almost can't see the ultrawide frame behind the Camera UI. In telephoto ("2x") everything looks normal.

Also, if I want to edit a photo to show more of the image "outside the frame" there is nothing captured.

Anyone with the same problems?

Are you shooting in lower light because the super wide is not as good / can’t keep up with the regular lens in lower light/indoors. That might explain the difference you are seeing.

The outside the frame stuff was also a mystery to me and I chalked it up to shooting indoors where the super wide was just too dark to be useful for outside the frame. It was so spotty I just turned it off.

Yes, you are right. The super wide lens can't keep up with low light and therefore it looks like it isn't "on" in normal mode. If you get into more light the super wide appears behind the menus.

Yep.. it's really strange. In rare cases I can edit the picture and crop it to see something outside the frame. But most of the time there is nothing more (if you go into "crop").
