Camera can't focus in the dark

Why the led flashlight can't be used to focus on dark photos?
The led light on the iPhone 4 is fine for taking photos in completely dark. The only problem is that 90% of the photos taken with almost 0 light are out of focus.
If only the led can be turned on when trying to focus I think that that 90% of my night photos will be better.
Hope Apple can do something here.

I would recommend the Camera+ app from the iTunes Store.
It allows you to switch the LED on in still mode so you can focus in the dark.

My I5s camera hardware have problem. Can't focus, and the pictureis very fuzzy. I brought this 5s in Canada, but I use it in China. I can't get support in China to fix my phone.

I brought my 5s last year in Canada. And take back to China to use.
few days ago, I found my camera can't focus and the picture is fuzzy .
I had call to Apple's Chinese service for check and help. After they check, they said this is the hardware 's problem.
Because my 5s is come from Canad, so they can't help me to fix my phone.
I am in China now, what can I do about my phone?
Camera is very important to me.
Please give me the solutio.
thank you very much.

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

Camera focus in the dark

The new iOS 5 doesn't let the camera focus in the dark using the flash, on my iPhone 4 and 4s either! It's a bug in ios 5 for sure!

OS 10.3.1.1565 my Passport camera can't focus, all pics are blurry

After updating OS 10.3.1.1565 the latest one, my Blackberry Passport camera can't focus and all the pictures are in blurry condition. And some noisy mechanical noise from the camera trying to get a focus but it still can't get one.
Please help me to solve this problem because before updating everything was awesome with BlackBerry Passport.

@badspyder, the mechanical noise is a bit worrysome, as mine is silent, but others have reported defective cameras.
You could try BBVE to test it.
You could call support as they may have a troubleshooting protocol,
Or you could try to reload the OS software. Do a backup, then reload, then restore, and you should be back to normal in about 2-3 hours if it is a software glitch. I had to do that for different reasons.

From experience, ensure that you have decrypted both your device storage, and the removable SD card if installed, or all of that data will be lost.

Focus in the dark?

Hi all.
Either I am doing something wrong or Apple has got no idea what a flash on a phone is for.
In close to absolute darkness when I take a picture, the flash comes on for a split second and takes a photo. It does not focus on anything. The picture comes out blurry.
Even if I tap the screen then press the button, it doesn't focus.
Surely the flash should come on, the camera auto-focuses then it takes the picture? Why isn't it doing this?
Many thanks for any advice.

I totally disagree. The point of a flash is to take pictures in the dark. The iPhone flash clearly has the power to illuminate subjects in the dark, however it simply does not focus on them.
Every camera phone and every camera I have had prior to this iPhone has had no problem with this. It simply keeps the flash on for a second while it focuses or flashes twice - one for focus once for flash, the third option when the phone has a xenon flash was to use an LED to pre-light the scene for focus.

After downloading from the camera can I delete from the camera?

I'm using Bridge CS3 to download images from my Canon XTi Digital Rebel. After download I would like to delete the image from the camera's storage disk.
I would like NOT to have to run the Canon's EOS utility to do this and would prefer doing it from within Bridge. But I can't find information regarding how to do this.
Using IMAC Leopard with SP.
Thanks,

Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
         Drains the camera battery
         Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
         Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
         Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

Trying to photograph a sunset through tree branches, but camera won't focus properly

I have an SX50HS, am trying to take a zoom shot of the sunset through tree branches, but the camera will only focus on the branches...trying to get the sun in focus
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Normally, I use the Manual mode of the camera. What I usually do is to put the camera in manual focus mode and set to infinity. You might also try setting the metering to spot meter. Make sure you are using a high enough shutter speed to avoid camera shake, and use an aperature of around f5. Too wide of an aperture (f2.0) will also blur the background, so keep the aperture to a higher number to keep everything focused. (smaller aperture).

Back camera does not focus on Iphone 5s, running ios 8.1?

My back camera does not focus on my iphone 5s, it worked fine yesterday, today it does not work. The camera lens is clean. The front camera works fine. The camera will not focus in the Instagram app either. I tried restarting the phone and resetting it but that has not fixed the issue. I will try restoring it but i just wanted to find out if anyone else has the same problem and any solution? thanks

One day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry. If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

i installed ios 7.after that my primary cam, one day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry. If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

This advice will sound like a joke or prank, but believe me it worked on my iPhone 5 and my daughter's. The lens mechanism got stock on each of our iPhones. We found a post on these message boards that said to hold the iPhone about 6 inches above a table or counter top and drop it so that it lands flat on it's back. Now try the camera ...Fixed! It has been more than six months now and neither of our iPhones have ever experienced the problem again.

I have an iPhone 5 and the camera won't focus. I don't know if there's anything that can be done. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Basic troubleshooting
reset
restore with backup
then as new
as required if still issues then it is possibly a hardware fault suggest you take iPhone to an Apple Store genius bar

My rear camera will not focus on my iPhone 6plus, I updated to 8.2 today to see if it fixed it but it didn't, what is the reason for my camera to just stop working?

My camera doesn't focus anymore, I didn't drop it or get it wet either. The front camera still works like it should. I even updated my phone to 8.2 today and still it didn't fix the problem.

Hello Jeremy76504,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are having an issue with the camera on your iPhone not focusing as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.

Your photos are blurred or out of focus
If your photos are blurred, out of focus, or have dark spots, try these steps:
Make sure that the camera lens is clean. If you need to clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
With iPhone 6 Plus, a metallic case or magnetic lens could interfere with optical image stabilization. If you have a metallic case or magnetic lens attachment, try taking a picture without it. Then compare the quality.
Adjust the focus by tapping on the person or object in the preview screen. You’ll see the screen pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as the camera adjusts. In photo mode, try to stay steady when adjusting the focus. If you move too far in any direction, the camera will automatically refocus to the center. In video mode, you can adjust the focus before you begin recording.
If the color seems too bright, or you see double-exposures of moving objects, make sure that HDR is set to Auto or Off. Tap HDR at the top of the screen to choose a different setting.
Have a great day,
Joe

RH8 WebHelp "Can't Move Focus to the Control..." Error

While testing my help (primary layout is WebHelp) on my local
machine, the help books/topics freeze after a series of clicking
them open and closed. I'm not doing this rapidly or in a manner
unlike a regular user would. IE 6 gives me a page error. The
description reads "can't move focus to the control b/c it is
invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the
focus." The URL points to the whtdhtml.htm file.
I've searched the forum and when this problem came up before,
an answer was in a tech note. I read the TechNote rb_95432 on this
issue and it suggested editing the webhelp4.js file; however, I
don't think this file is generated by RoboHelp 8, as it doesn't
appear in my generated help files.
Is there a different file I should be looking at? Is this a
problem with my HTML that I should seek or an Adobe compilation
issue with IE 6? I recently upgraded my help project from RoboHelp
6 to RoboHelp 8 and am on a Windows XP machine.

IPhone 5 white flashing when on camera in the dark?

iPhone 5 when I go on camera in the dark I notice a white flashing dot above the option button. When I slide it on to video or face time camera it goes? Help!!!

The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.

Has anyone found any glow-in-the-dark earbuds (with mic) for the iPhone? I'm looking for some that glow or light up so they can be seen when I walk in the dark.

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.
