Screen darkening when I'm setting to take a pic?

[EODK9Trainer]

Just started a couple weeks ago and I've had the phone for months now. Love taking pics as is obvious in the ones I post. But when it is light outside, meaning sunny, the view I am looking at goes darker. Not so dark I cannot see but dark enough that it is not light enough for me. Does not seem to interfere with taking the pic but it is irritating. Did I change a setting somewhere and not know it?

When you're taking the picture, are you blocking the light sensor near the front-facing camera with your hand? That might cause the phone to think you're no longer in such bright sunlight, and automatically adjust the brightness down.

Could also be heat if you have the camera open for a while in direct sunlight.

Possible I guess but this started happening after hundreds of pics I've already taken. I'll have to pay attention.

No chance on this. Came out of the house this am for the last pic meaning I came out of the AC.

Do you have "dim screen while recording" enabled?

Is this screen on the S-23 Ultra? Try as I might I am not seeing it.

Pretty sure that screenshot is of a goodlock module.

It's under the camera settings, go down to camera assistant. I found it there and I don't use the good lock features.

Make sure no power saving mode on /extra screen dimming in notification panel and also try safe mode if it is still happening

I'm sure I am going to feel stupid but try as I might I see no Camera Assistant.

It's not in my camera settings. I do use goodlock but I've never installed that module.

You can get Camera Assistant, as well as Sound Assistant from the Galaxy Store.

Go into your camera as if you're going to take a photo. Hit the little cog at the top of your screen for camera settings. You should find it there.

Like I say, it isn't there.

You have Camera assistant download from Good Lock?

No, that's the whole point. I said that it was from a goodlock module a few posts back, and am getting argued with about it. Believe it or not I'm not just continuing because I enjoy the argument, but because (unintentionally) trying to gaslight the OP into believing a setting is there and they just can't find it isn't going to help them.

I have to see if i uninstall the module if it still shows up in my settings, we just trying figure out why some have it and others dont , i dont doubt anyone when they say something until they prove otherwise.

So I deleted Camera assistant app and it's no longer in my settings, I think that's solved lol

It wasn't you I was referring to. It's there if you have the module and dissapears if you uninstall it, that was my point. OP clearly doesn't have it installed.,
