General • Weird SSD1306 OLED problem

This is not really a Pico related question, rather an OLED and/or Camera problem.

So I have this configuration with a Pico, a Pico-GPS-L76B and an SSD1306 OLED.

It works as intended, but strangely, I cannot make photos of the display outdoors and have on pictures always these weird black bars (see video and photo).

These bars only appear on the photos (both mobile phone cam and DSLR), and my human eye does not notice anything out of the ordinary and I can read everything. I get this phenomenon only outdoors, when there is much sunlight (?).

Not really a huge issue though, but I want to understand how it comes about.

I am using the Micropython SSD1306 packages for the OLED, installed on my Pico via thonny.
