iPhone 17 Pro criticized for flash being too far from the lens: shadows appear in video
Apple recently released the iPhone 17 Pro series, but due to the use of a new large-size lens module, the flash was moved from next to the lens to the other side of the body.
However, a netizen recently complained that when using the camera flash of the iPhone 17 Pro series, shadows will be produced near the object of the video recording.
“It looks like someone is holding a light from around the corner, which is super annoying to be honest,” he said.
The user also compared the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 13. A shadow could be seen next to the finger when shooting the video on the iPhone 17 Pro, but not on the iPhone 13.
Some netizens think it is a design flaw, while others think it is harmless.
However, in this user’s test scenario, the distances between the phone, subject, and background were all very close, which may have further highlighted the impact of the distance between the lens and flash.
