S22 Ultra Photo Distortion Camera, Gallery or Display issue?

[Amusey]

Not sure exactly how to describe this type of image distortion, but I've been having problems taking photos and videos of garments with geometric patterns with my S22 Ultra. Regardless of the camera mode, I choose (Pro or Regular), adjusting the mode settings, or the gallery app or editor in which I open/view the images, I see the type of distorted images depicted in the attached screenshots. I'm not the greatest photographer, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the problem - or am I? Help.

Lowering the screen resolution doesn't help, so I'm thinking it's the camera and not the display that's the problem.

My pictures look like they were turned inside out. Tried everything to make them look normal.

Your issue looks like it's a lighting and focus issue, Zeldaz.

@Amusey I missed this when you originally posted it. If you're still trying to resolve your distortion issues, I can offer a couple of thoughts. First, this looks like what photographers refer to as a moire effect, which is a visual distortion resulting from a conflict in the pattern of the subject with the scanning process of the camera. You get the same effect when you try to take a picture of a TV screen because the lines of pixels on the TV screen don't coincide with the lines in the sensor. The moire term itself might help you search for confirmation and suggestions. Two things I'd suggest trying are (1) using stronger lighting or flash and (2) shooting in landscape mode then cropping if needed. My thought is that shooting in landscape might be like switching around the polarizing lenses at the 3D movies. It's worth a try.
