Solution

When a camera is pointed towards a strong light source, some parts may appear whitish (flare) or circular bands of light (ghost) may appear due to the characteristics of the lens. However, this is not a malfunction. When taking photos, you can capture clear and sharp images by carefully composing the shot and avoiding direct exposure to strong light sources.
