iPhone camera switch to pink screen at 1x and 2x Zoom

My camera isn’t working at 1x and 2x zoom for both photos and video. It switches to a pink screen when trying to capture images at 1x and 2x zoom, though it sometimes works. I’ve tried resetting settings, a factory reset, and updating iOS, but the issue persists. The camera only works well between 0.5x and 0.9x zoom.


Any suggestion on how to fix it?

Hello there, this appears to be a hardware related issue to the main camera of Iphone 16. In 0.5 and 0.9x, the phone is using its ultrawide camera. Starting from 1x however, it uses the main camera.


Therefore, it is highly suggested you go to a nearby apple service center to seek help. Official Apple Support


Also if you don’t mind, may I see the footage of your Iphone’s issue in action? Thank you for your time
