FP5 : Pink selfie in sunny environment

  • /e/OS version: 2.9-t-20250321478215-official-FP5
  • Device model(s):Fairphone FP5
  • Impacted Application: /e/OS Camera

The problem

When I take a photo with the front camera (selfie) inside, the colors and file size are normal. When I take a photo with the front camera (selfie) outdoors, in bright light (mountains, snow in the background), the image is distorted, doubled, pink against a black area, and much more voluminous.

Example photos taken with /e/OS Camera app and Gcam app :

I have no problem in the same conditions taking photos using lens1 and lens2 on the rear sensor.

I contacted Fairphone, and carried out tests at their request with another camera application (Gcam). The problem is only present with the native /e/OS application.

Steps to reproduce

Open the camera application, switch to the front camera (selfie mode), place the lens in front of a very bright environment, such as a light, and take a photo.
