       Has anybody else noticed that with the camera lens on a #Pixel 6a, particularly bright spots like the flame on a candle can create corresponding artifacts in the final image? They usually present as a blue dot or circle that, in videos, you can watch move around relative to where the bright spot is.Here's a screenshot of a video clip of my son's birthday cake the other day. Stills with the lights on look fine, but with the lights off we get these. Something to do with exposure?#Photography

       I wonder if it's some kind of refraction or reflection caused by the gap between the protective outer glass and the actual lens of the camera.

       @gerowen Yep, totally looks like an internal reflection between the different pieces of glass in the camera lens. In the times before good glass coatings those were very common
