S23 Camera Issues - strange bands in the sky, 3x lens

[hybridP]

On my S23, I'm seeing a lot of distortions in the sky. There are obvious lines in photos whereas they're not present in reality. I'm attaching a couple of images for example. 

Also the telephoto lens is unable to focus properly especially if the subject is far. It's behaving strangely, I'm attaching screen recording. The image is fluctuating in 3x mode. 

I tried turning off HDR, scene optimization, resetting camera settings, clearing data and cache. The issue still persists. 

I'm on February 2024 update. 

Anyone else facing the same issue?

Can this be resolved in a software update or is it a hardware issue? 

(Note: I've recently bought this new S23 and have never dropped it. So it shouldn't be a damage related issue, I hope)

Strange bands in the sky

Look at the ugly over processing around the sun

The image is getting distorted, and quality reduced randomly in normal camera mode at 3x.

Had faced some issues with the details level of the camera for some time. But my pictures are better than this . So this is a single unit problem . Please contact samsung asap. Thank you ❤️
