Anyone else has this problem? Im referring to low light condition like indoor with bedroom lighting for example.

The difference is very obvious if compared with photo taking mode and video recording mode.

Got a few times i see the video recording seemed pretty bright, but upon recording after about 1-2 secs it darkens again. Most of the time its just in the darker mode

I have the same behavior, I thought it was normal cuz taking photos can allow more light... I might be wrong...

The iPhone keeps the shutter open longer in low light in photo mode to capture more light, therefore it is brighter(more light enters the sensor).

In video mode it cannot do this because it's a video at a fixed FPS(30/60), it's worse in slow-mo(120/240FPS).
