this confirms all the lousy bizarre looking photos I create at times. I suspected possibly some strange post processing was going on but couldn't confirm it. I assumed I was driving the phone in awkward lighting or some other condition where the post processing salvaged my photo from a blurry mess, but there's no way to tell because like others identified there's no way to turn it off.

I remember telling someone about this great image sensor on the old OnePlus One a friend gave me years outside of its lifecycle and how it takes pretty amazing photos. I wonder if it was just a function of no image processing, and my steady hand from years of photography and breath-holding practice to manually stabilize my photos.




It’s possible it’s an enhancement for the masses where a smill minority of experienced photographers are just pooped on. Apple is known to shove a decision in your face at times only to add a setting later to disable that. I still accidentally enable live photos by accident and I wish I could remove that altogether in the settings. Im still on the old SE and luckily photos aren’t post processed


All modern smartphones use computational photography to enhance and process your images. The sensor is too small and the lens just not good enough to not do it.
