P: Camera overexposing photos

[Liam Coleman]

Hello,

I have been observing for some time that the LR mobile in-app camera seems to consistently overexpose photos. It is most obvious when shooting DNGs (either on automatic or HDR modes) before making any adjustments in post. See attached photos for examples right out of the LR app camera with no adjustments made; these strike me as quite bright and look more properly exposed to me if I dial back the exposure slider in LR by about 0.50. I have been sure to confirm that I have not altered any other settings that might cause this and I have been using the most recent app versions over the past several updates. I am using an iPhone 14 Pro and an iPad Air (it happens on both devices) on consisterntly the most recent OS software. Can someone from Adobe please look into this and confirm whether there might be a bug here? Thanks very much.

 Recently upgraded to a iPhone 14 Pro Max. When shooting in Lightroom with HDR all the pictures have this purple hue (it varies by picture with size and intensity). Any thoughts on how to correct?

Hi, I have the same issue - all HDR photos taken by the telephoto lense on iPhone 14 pro have magenta stains of different shapes and sizes. No beta software installed, running iOS 16.6 and Lightroom v. 8.4.1 2C9D5C/103. Is there a fix? Because it seems the issue was first reported almost an year ago.

Hello @saintluu 

We have reported the issue to Apple, and are waiting for updates.  If there is any progress we can report here, we will.

Hi. I am the one who originally started this post. Just wanted to let you know that the same problem is persisting with the iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 17.0.2.

Thank you for your time.

I agree. The dng's created with iOS Lightroom App are grossly overexposed. Is this a bug or a settings issue?

This thread is almost two years old. There are quite a few solutions mentioned if you read all the replies.

Are you working in Pro mode? Is you exposure set to "0". I just tested it on my iPhone 14 pro max. No issue and have never had the problem.

In pro mode, I have to set exp to -1 or -2 to prevent an overexposed dng.

It's still an issue for me. I'm working in Pro Mode with an iPhone 14 Pro. I have to set the exposure to -.7 to -1 stops every time. In certain low light situations the exposure is 2 or even 3 stops off. The exposure compensation lock still does not stay locked.
