I have the latest I(iPhone) no matter what I do with the lights inside the tank or outside the tank, the pictures always come out a little grainy looking. Any tips? What’s causing it?

Lol, I must have fat finger selected the flower photo, yeah that had a lot of wind with it.Do you have one of the iPhone 13 phones? When you take photos of stuff in the tank, do you take the pictures with the phone flush against the glass? If you don’t have it exactly straight to the glass, it will cause a reflection which results in grainy photos.
When you took the photo of the flower, was there wind?
It’s probably the ratio of lighting you have selected that doesn’t match well with the MP of the camera. Maybe play around with a couple of different %’s and see which one shows up best?Lol, I must have fat finger selected the flower photo, yeah that had a lot of wind with it.
the picture of the thorn oyster in both lighting scenarios was flush up against the glass with lights off on the room. Bottom one was the “cleaning light” mode
To me it just seems your camera gets out of focus as soon as you take a photo.I have the latest I(iPhone) no matter what I do with the lights inside the tank or outside the tank, the pictures always come out a little grainy looking.

Or that the Loch Ness Monster is actually blurry and the picture is fine.Have you given thought to the fact that perhaps that objects are actually grainy and your photography skills are fantastic?
Filter or no filter attached? Nice photos. I have heard and seen the iPhone 11s and above take really good photos of our tanks even without a filterTo me it just seems your camera gets out of focus as soon as you take a photo.

I agree the camra looses focus at the last second. Not sure if it’s because it picks up something else besides the subject moving, like an amphipod. In which getting video might be better for me to capture what is going on and then take a still from that? I may have to invest in an orange lens. Most of my shots are when the tank residents are doing something amusing, so sometimes changing the lights spooks them out of what was amusing and picture worthy.To me it just seems your camera gets out of focus as soon as you take a photo.
