Blurry Camera on iPhone 14 Pro at 3x+ Zoom

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with my iPhone 14 Pro’s camera, mainly when zooming in at 3x and above. The image often becomes blurry, and it seems like the camera keeps shifting between lenses, especially when looking through windows or bright areas.

The camera works fine in low light, and sometimes I can get a clear shot by quickly pointing it at the ground first or zooming in and out fast, but the blur usually comes back. I also noticed that Snapchat’s camera doesn’t seem to have the same issue when zooming.

I’ve already tried turning off macro controls, lens correction, and adjusting focus manually, but nothing seems to fully fix it. I updated to the latest iOS, and while it seemed better for a moment, the issue returned.

Has anyone else experienced this? Could this be a software issue, or is it something wrong with the camera hardware?

Thanks for any help! (I’ve attached a comparison with the iPhone X, which clearly displays the issue)
