I need some professional support, because it's impossible that I purchased the latest S26 and the camera got this bug: you can see the shadow area out of the blue, it's even more visible in the video: It only happens with LED lights and with native camera app, not with Gcam. It's not acceptable!

    Your phones AI is probably trying to correct the lighting, my s25 tries to correct the lighting, and I find some photos come out either muted or brighter than what I expected. I started using the shot guide, which gives you cross hairs to get the best shot for the lighting.

    Hey Bird1977 thank you

    I had the photo enhancement setting on balanced, (which works well to get a better dynamic range) but indeed it can't handle LED lights. When turned off, some shadow bars still showed up in the viewfinder but then disappeared when I took the image. 

    so, I guess that's the solution, but it still feels very amateur to me, I don't want to switch all the time between off and balanced. I hope they fix it in an update. Any oppo, honor or xiaomi phone handles dynamic range and low light better than Samsung's flagship. 

    Big regret. anyways thanks for your message it helped.
