[ShizumiAoki]

Hello, I just picked up the iPhone 12 today and noticed a issue where in some photos images will haves a ghost like reflection in the image. I was wondering if this was normal or a defect in the camera and should return it to Apple?

Thank you for your time.

This in my view has something to do with SMART HDR / Shaking of hands during snapping of photos.

Yes normal. It is due to light smearing on the frame. Happens to all small sensor camera.

Change the angle of the camera and take the pic at different perspective.

But the iPhone 12 pro max has a bigger sensor right?

Still tiny in the grand scheme of things. I would bet that this happens to probably all smartphone camera.
