Why does the Xiaomi 15T Pro front camera preview appear overexposed in Reels on Instagram?

Question

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your support of Xiaomi. On the Xiaomi 15T Pro, the front camera preview in Instagram's Reels mode occasionally appears overexposed. This can happen because the App applies different effect parameters for varying zoom levels, which are still being refined. During this optimization, the preview temporarily appears brighter than the final captured image.
Such variations are normal and reflect the App's ongoing adjustments rather than a device malfunction. They are more noticeable under high-brightness conditions or when switching quickly between zoom levels.
Updating the device to the latest system version ensures that the camera parameters are optimized for Reels, ensuring more consistent exposure and an accurate preview. After the update, the front camera preview should better reflect the intended image, resulting in more consistent and reliable Reels recording across zoom levels.
