hey guys, does anybody here with an iPhone 8 plus feel that pics taken inside without natural light seem a bit fuzzy or grainy. Don’t know how to explain exactly but they seem a soft. Not as sharp. Anyone else notice this?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 8/Plus Soft and fuzzy photos

Any pic taken inside without adequate or natural light have a likelihood of becoming soft. You will get a slower shutter speed to let in more light thus causing any movement from you, or the subject to be an issue and cause the pic to not be as sharp.
If I may also add that the ISO sensitivity will be cranked up in low light, producing noise and that "grainy look".
Hey huys, thanks for the input. I am talking about sufficient lighting here. Also have been an iPhone user for the last so many years. The pictures are much softer in my opinion. This same thing happened on my iphone x that I used for some time before this. Also I read about this issue somewhere else too.
"Adequate" indoor lighting always is vastly inferior to any natural outdoor lighting. The sun is a strong thing! Fuzzy will happen indoors on tiny sensors. If you are getting better results on previous phones then I have no answer. I see no worse performance in the newer phones.
Just noticed something else. It is an issue mostly on portrait shots taken inside. The normal ones are much better.
Well these seem awesome to me...!!!
I mostly have portraits of live subjects only which looked softer. Just took a picture of my son’s toy car. That seemed better. Don’t know why people portraits seem softer.

Indoor lighting, would you call these soft?
Two or possibly three of those examples are making use of natural light (as op stated) Natural light sources being windows / day time. they are nice photos none the less
Yeah I just posted pictures taken under various level of indoor lighting from bright to partial natural light to indoor minimal lighting.
On further deliberation, my only issue is with portrait photos taken of live subjects under artificial lights. Rest everything seems fine.
Portrait photo is not supposed to be taken in that specific situation. The subject needs to be relatively static for it to work properly. That’s normal I’d say. Even traditional cameras will struggle with auto focus to capture a moving subject.
Hey I am talking about static subjects only. I think you misunderstood live subjects for moving objects. I am talking about pics of my baby boy etc. for which I feel portrait mode is best suited. Anyways will use some more and see.
I see. This is the best example I have. The dog was moving quite a bit but this is in daylight.
Unfortunately I don’t take pictures of humans much in portrait mode.
