A really bright light just came on, on my husbands phone

I don't really know what he did, he doesn't either. He said his phone was just sitting on his lap and this bright light (for the camera maybe?) came on and stayed on. It finally went out, but now he wants to know how it came on? I can't find it myself. It was more like a flashlight mode?

It's the flashlight app built into Control Center. Slide a finger up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Touch the flashlight icon. (If the light went out because the battery was drained, you'll have to charge the phone.

IPhone 5 Camera - green dot in bright light

Hey,
I just noticed a prominent green light on all pictures that I took with my iPhone 5 in bright light conditions - sun or articifial light came from the front.
Changing the angle, as suggested to have a workaround purple fringing, wouldn't help and is not helping at all as the green dot appears on the very same position each time.
Who else is facing the green dots?

Same problem here, today I took some 20 photos of a cotton field. The pics were beautiful EXCEPT there is a very prominent green light in the bottom middle of more than half the photos? Just counted, the green light shows on 13 out of 21 pictures?! They're taken at different angles but the dang green dot is pretty noticeable on more than half of them? Some pics were taken at almost identical angle and location yet one pic will have the dot while the other won't??
Didn't know how to post pics here but this thread shows what I'm talking about:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4384663
Those dots are very annoying, destroyed otherwise gorgeous photos for me.
Is there a solution to this besides using different angles? (Mine were and still >50% of pics had the green dot?). I can tell this is an awesome camera, the pictures when there's no dot in them are gorgeous. BUT, should I be planning on deleting half of my photos from now on? I'm concerned... :-(

This has been addressed by apple of which they said the customer is holding the phone wrong. There is not much you can do but try different shots and angles.

N8 Overexposed too bright pictures. Camera problem...

Good day to all.
I have a Nokia N8 and there is a problem with a camera. When taking photos in the dark or low light places, the camera is just wonderful, the pictures are great.
But...
In daylight/ bright light or even cloudy day the camera is taking overexposed pictures. Here is example of the pictures, that i took yesterday in the cloudy conditions.
I tried: to lower ISO, Exposure, white balance. Nothing helps. Tried to take pictures with CameraPlus program, still nothing.
Tried to do hard reset - nothing. I even changed the Sw from Scandinavian 11.5 to latest belle, nothing helped. It seems, that all the SS changes somehow bypasses the camera drivers or something. Could it be physical damage?
By the way, the N8 warranty period has expired. What should I do? Thank you for your time.

So...
Yes ND filter seems to be working as I turn phone in the bright light it comes on. Few days ago camera gived me another surprise . In all photos top you can see purple and blue bubbles.So I took phone to the nokia care centre. Phone doesn't have warranty anymore, so they told me, that firstly they recommend me to change camera module and that would cost me arround 75 dollars. That is the half of a price that i payed for the phobe. So that's way too expensive for the student I thinking about changing camera module by my self. Will it help?

Reading in bright light

I bought the ipad for my wife to mostly read ebooks. We had it on vacation, as I'm sure many have experienced: it was extremely difficult to read outdoors in bright light. has anyone found a polarized film for the screen which might help that situation?

I've tried several. The one that came closest was the one from Power Support, but it wasn't good enough, IMHO. I use antiglare on my ipod and that works fine, but on the iPad it just diffuses the glare more, rather than eliminate it. And of course it does nothing about the way the screen washes out.
The ipad is just plain hard to see in bright light, I'm afraid. I had hoped the ipad 2 might be better, but it doesn't seem to be any different in this respect, alas.
It's one reason a lot of ipad owners have kept their kindles, too.

70D - bright lights cuasing artifacts when shooting video

I'm getting lots of artifacts created by bright light sources when shooting video. It seems to be the intensity of the light and not the type of light that is the problem. They show up in the picture as a kind of mirror reflection, often in green, on a different part of the image. Any ideas how to avoid this?
Canon 70D, 50mm 1.8, NTSC, 30fps, 1/60 shutter, no filters
video shows the problem http://youtu.be/iCAiGoJCGSM
The bottom of this pic shows the green reflections from the lights at the top

Thanks Tim, the lens is the Canon 50mm 1.8.
I'm using a UV filter - is it worth taking this off?
I'm quite disappointed because it's very noticeable on many night shots which have the light source in the frame. Anything else that can be done to lessen the glare, apart from changing the lens?
Hi,
Yes, those are definitely optically related flare effects.
And, yes, definitely try again without the UV filter, especially if it's an inexpensive, single-coated or uncoated filter. Any filter will increase flare effects when shooting in tough lighting situations like these, a high quality multi-coated might minimize it but still is likely to show some add'l flare. Cheaper filters can do horrid things to your images, potentially blurring them and causing focus errors, in addition to increasing flare effects.
Try using a lens hood, too. That physically protects the lens, but also can minimize veiling and other types of flare from bright light sources just outside the image area by preventing oblique light from striking the lens. The 50/1.8 has fairly well recessed front element, but a hood might help even more. Since you are using the lens on a crop sensor camera, instead of the OEM hood (which is designed for full frame), you might look for a 52mm screw-in hood designed for a short telephoto.
Unfortunately, you will still see some flare effects... The 50/1.8 isn't the best lens dealing with flare. The EF 50/1.4 and Sigma 50/1.4 both are better, but of course they cost more. Also, the 5-bladed aperture of the 50/1.8 contributes to the appearance of those flare effects... The 8-bladed aperture of the EF 50/1.4 or the 9-bladed aperture of the Sigma 50/1.4 give somewhat nicer background blur results (the eight curved blades or the premium EF 50/1.2L can be even better, but that's a rather pricey lens).
You also might experiment with stopping the lens down a little... both the Canon EF 50/1.8 and 50/1.4 are sharper at f2.0 or f2.2 than they are wide open. You might find they control flare better at a bit smaller aperture, too. I'd experiment with f4, f5.6 and f8, too.
A zoom lens likely would be worse than using a prime such as you are doing. But some zooms deal with flare pretty effectively.
Also watch the viewfinder and try slightly changing your position. Even just a little change can make a huge difference.
Compare these two images I made with my 24-70/2.8L.... I could see the flare occurring in the viewfinder and all I did to dodge a lot of it was change my position slightly.
I nearly always use a lens hood. Here's an example of the difference a lens hood can make. The EF-S 10-22mm lens has a huge lens hood that's a bit of a pain to pack. (Most Canon hoods reverse neatly on the lens for storage in minimal space. The 10-22mm's hood is just too large diameter to do that comfortably in any of my camera bags.) I thought about using the lens without any hood, since it's very shallow and doesn't seem it would be very effective anyway, so I did the following test shots...
As you can see, the first shot without the hood showed a very strong ghost flare. The second shot, after simply adding the hood, shows no flare at all. Note: it was a breezy day, so the clouds moved a bit while I was installing the lens hood. But, obviously the hood is effective. So I carry and use the hood, even if it is a bit of a pain.
Finally, there are times when flare effects can work for you, might actually add to the image. For example, I think that's the case here...
Above is a bit abstact... it's the sun reflecting off the corner of a building and was shot with an EF 100/2.8 USM macro lens. I think it would be pretty boring without the flare effects.
Regarding filters... I have various that I use, too. Including UV for "protection" (plus C-Pol and othersfor different purposes). They are all stored in my camera bag until actually needed. I never leave a filter on a lens all the time. IMO it's sort of silly to expect much real "protection" from a thin piece of glass (I've actually seen lenses gouged and damaged by broken filters). And there are just too many situations such as yours, where a filter can do more harm than good in the images. Another imporant factor... I use mostly B+W MRC and Hoya HMC or SHMC filters, which are high quality, multi-coated. There are other high quality brands... in fact most manufacturers offer different qrades at different price ranges.
Plus, when using a filter, it's even more important to use a lens hood as well, to keep oblilque light off the filter.

IPhone promimity sensor (?) emitting very bright light

A few days ago one of the sensors on my 3g iPhone has started emitting a bright light. The sensor is at the top of the phone, to the left of the earpiece. It's the sensor that has another directly above it. It looks like a small c with a circle in the middle. The iPhone hasn't been water damaged (and yes, I've checked the headphone socket and base of the phone). It's not a case of just seeing the sensor, the light is bright and constantly on; in the dark it looks like a red LED.
Can anyone, ahem, shed any light? I'm currently on holiday in a very hot Thailand (if that's of any help, I'm not just bragging)

Maybe you can just see infra-red? Seriously though, there may be a IR filter over the LED which has become dislodged. Normally it would only allow IR light to shine through, meaning you couldn't see it under normal circumstances.

Bright Light in Clip

I want to get rid of a bright light in a clip. Is there any way to cover it?

Ooh that's a toughie. Does it look like it would be kinda obvious if something were covering it up? I don't know what kind of video you're making, but if it were a travelogue or a music video, you could always have another video clip reduced as an inset over top of the area with the light....or if it was a commercial, a logo could go over that spot....but again, I don't know what you're making.
Are there any lens flares or spikes coming from the light that would make it hard to cover?
This is unorthodox, but you could clone the scene on another track and move the overlaid scene over to one side to cover that area with some sky, and crop the 2nd track real small so that it would be just enough to cover it....and feather the edges to try to make it blend in....but it's tricky to do and might not look totally seamless....

When I recorded a vocal track 3 hours ago, it recorded perfectly. The syncing was perfectly in time with the rest of the song. I just came back to start working on it again, and it's completely off beat. What gives?

Also, I'd forgotten about this problem until just now, when I extend a loop (for instance, to play 2x instead of just one) it plays a phantom 3rd time. What I mean by this, is there's no track to tell garage band to play it a 3rd time, but it does anyway. If I copy paste the loop, it doesn't do it. I've got no idea what to do with this one. I'd really appreciate a quick response as I'm in the middle of a recording project :/
Thanks muchly
Brian

Hello Brian,
The syncing was perfectly in time with the rest of the song. I just came back to start working on it again, and it's completely off beat. What gives?
this may happen, if you accidentally turn on Auto Quantize for the track in the track editor, also "follow tempo and pitch" may cause it. Have you checked the settings?
As to your strange loop: is it a software instrument loop or a real instrument loop you are talking about?
If it is a software instrument loop you can look at it in the track editor and delete any extra beats that are revealed by looping. That sometimes happens if there are long notes at the end of the loop.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

If I take a normal photo with the lens not facing directly to the light, I dont get the spot. I have attached some of d pics taken by me both against the direct sunlight and one against the night street lights. Please let me know if this is a minor issue or shall I get it replcaed..
Appreciate your help in advance.
Happy New Year 2012.
Thanks

There may be something corrupt in your camera roll, or a photo you saved from an email, text message or from the internet preventing them from importing. You might try transferring them wirelessly to your computer using an app like PhotoSync. If they transfer successfully, delete them from camera roll then take a new photo and see if iPhoto will import it now.

I just purchased the new Nokia windows phone. How do I delete an app that I installed but really don't want to keep?

You are welcome! I played with the 928 in a Verizon store and really liked it. Besides the great camera and Nokia Maps, I'd be pretty excited about Nokia Music, too. As I understand it, this free app lets you create playlists from its entire music library, which can be stored on your device to listen to any time.
There are a few members on the WP board who are really knowledgeable about Nokia and WP, so let us know if you have more questions.

New iOS 7 not readable in bright light, why is there no contrast?

The new iOS 7 is terrible. The background screen is white and in certain apps, plus the phone dial pad and in Notes there is no color separation or contrast to read in bright light.

I just fixed this on my phone. If there is a moon symbol showing in the top right hand corner that means you have the "Do Not Disturb" setting on its a new feature with ios7. If you go to your settings you can find it right under the Control Center tab. Just click on it and flip the manual switch off. Hope this helps!:)
