Bad image after taking a picture

Occasionaly when taking pictures, the result is like a psychadelic image or similar to a negative. How do I fix this or should I return my camera for another one?

tlshoaf72,
I think what Bob said is probably right in this case. When an image is taken and the camera detects areas where the highlights are overexposed and blown-out, those areas will flash between normal and what looks like a negative of that. This feature is called Highlight alert. It is to let you know those areas are too bright so you can try shooting again or apply negative exposure compensation if you want to. I still want to verify this is indeed the case though.
When you take an image that is darker or in a darker location, do you no longer see the "negative effect" when reviewing the image?
If you download and image with this effect to your computer and view it, does it show on your computer just as it does on the camera's LCD?

Is there an app where it saves your photo shortly after onto the web/online after taking a picture?

Is there an app where it saves your photo shortly after onto the web/online after taking a picture? In essense, I want to be able to take a picture with the stock camera app on the Iphone 4 and have it saved immediately online after...without hooking it back onto a computer...completely automatic and wireless/using internet data.
Thanks very much.

If you're running iOS 5.1 or later you could use Photo Stream. See http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486. It will upload up to 1000 photos to iCloud.com for 30 days.

After taking 5 pictures with the 4S, the phone shuts down and restarts - all apps have been closed and software updated

We use the iPhone's at my job and they all have the 4S - one of the guys is having a problem when taking pictures. After taking 5 pictures the phone completely shuts down and re-starts. He has made sure that all apps are closed out, updated the software to the current one and that the battery is fully charged. Can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Anyone???

HDR camera mode shows "Saving" for a long time after taking a picture

I noticed that after taking a photo in the HDR mode with the camera on 4.1 (4th Gen phone), the "Saving Photo" and spinning icon persist on the screen. The only way to stop it is to tape the top button on the phone, which shuts off the screen. When I go back the photo appears to be saved with no harm. Anyone else have this lag?
It makes taking another photo very slow.

You must have an older iPhone. My iPhone 4 takes about several seconds to save them, which was kinda annoying first. I'm not taking pictures in a rapid succession so I guess it is not that bad, taking into account a better quality of the HDR pics. I hope Apple fixes this delay in the future update of the iOS.
I was wondering though if we disable keeping of a non-HDR picture, would that speed it up? (Settings -> Photos -> Keep Normal Photo -> Off)
In your case, Fred, it would probably be better to shoot in a normal (non-HDR) format due to older hardware.

I have an iphone 4s, after taking a picture I am un able to turn it

After taking a photo I am unable to turn

If the pictures are no longer on the device, this has nothing to do with the device or iTunes.
Use the photo management software on the computer to rotate them.

Camera closes after taking a picture & pic not saved

Hi there,
My iPhone has worked fine but now when taking a picture the camera closes and the phone doesn't appeared to have saved the photo at all. Nothing in the Camera Roll album!
I have tried shutting the phone off and powering up again but still experiencing the same issue.
Phone has the latest 1.1.4 firmware
Anyone else had this problem?

Yes I'm having the same problems. Taking pictures, then only seeing faint squares on the camera roll, with not pictures. When trying to raise photo, camera goes back to setting. This is my 4th Iphone, first one I purchased, took 100 pictures and downloaded them on a Dell Laptop, then faint squares on Camera roll showed up, taking it back to an Apple store in Louisville, Ky, getting a new phone, doing the same thing to a second party, another 100 photos, downloaded them, and again no pics, just empty squares, then I sent it to Apple, got a loaner service phone, and loaner phone wouldn't take pictures either, got a brand new phone from Apple service, invoice saying "replaced with new unit", and it again would not take pictures. 4 phones, and two service phones, and the last one a brand new phone from Apple service direct to my ole Indiana home, and still it doens't take and then store pictures, does just what the other phones have done, nothing different, still doesn't work, still doesn't take pictures, still not I wanted, and I'm going to keep trying. Let me hear from any one who has the same problem, or anyone who might have an answer, Joe

AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Bad Image after upgrading iTunes on Windows 7

The Apple update notifier alerted me a new version of iTunes was available which I installed. The system crashed during installation. Upon reboot the system wouldn't recognize the hard drive. Had to completely shut down and restart the system. Now everytime it starts up, I see an error message titled AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Bad Image with the the following description: F:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\YSFileShim.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. When I try to start iTunes i receive a similar error: iTunes: iTunes.exe - Bad Image... iTunesMobileDevice.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Help!

Try deleting the offending file. If it will not delete, try renaming the file or containing folder.
Then do a Repair install on Apple Mobile Device Support, hopefully this will replace the damaged file with a good one.
AMDS should be listed wherever you Install/Uninstall programs in Windows 7.

T3i screen freezing up after taking a picture

Hello all. I'm completely new to this camera. The only thing I have done is take pictures and transfer a few to my Mac. So, please be very specific about your suggestions.
A couple of weeks ago, my family was on our way home from the beach and stopped along the shore to take some pictures of my daughter. After I took the first picture, my screen froze up and I had to take the battery out and put it back in for each subsequent photo. Very annoying. After we got home, I put it up and didn't think about it any until this morning, I went to take some pictures, and am having the same issue.
I've been skimming through some stuff online, but I lack the patience to dig for information right now, so I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I've seen something about the firmware (I don't know how to do that) and the memory card, but I don't know what to try.
Thanks in advance!

This sounds like you may have the camera's "Image Review" option set to "hold".
When you take a photo, two things normally happen.
1) The camera should write the image to your memory card. You'll know when it's writing to your memeory card because there is a red LED ligth which is active when the camera is using the card. When the light goes out, the camera is finished.
2) The camera can be set to do "Image Review". By default, when you take an exposure, the camera will display the image on the rear screen for just a few seconds. But this behavior can be customized.
Your choices for image review are "Off", 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 8 seconds, or "Hold". If Off is selected you wont get any image review. If "Hold" is selected, the image you just took will appear on the rear LCD and will never go away until you manually clear it. You can just do a half-press of the shutter button to clear it (it wont get in the way of you taking more shots... just ignore it.)
You can find instructions on this on page 166 of your T3i Instruction Manual which describes how to change this setting.

Error message after taking a picture

I take a picture then device displays 'error processing photo' message. Even though the error message there doesn't seem to be any problem other than time between taking photos as I can still save and rename the photo as well as view it later. Its just the few seconds it displays the message. Though there must be something going on here...

Never Mind. It was ScanLife intervening so I removed the program.

Lumia 925 restarts after taking a picture with Nok...

Hey guys,
so here is my problem: after I updated to the Lumia Black Update, the phone restarts every time take a picture using the smart camera. I checked that every app is up to date, any ideas what can I do?

How are you trying to send the photo?
iMessage?
In an email?
Via AirDrop?
or some other method?

After taking some pictures with my iphone, I downloaded them to my computer. Well when I began using the phone again I realized it had uploaded all my photos to the iphone. I don't want that and didn't expect it. It just did it. I want them off!

I have gone to my ATT and store for help but it's not "synching in to my head" on how to do it. Which means I consider this a bit to complicated. So how do I manage what goes on and off my phone. It seems that somewhere it should ask before it does it. Anyway in a step by step process how do I get the pictures off my iphone.
thanks
Dennis

You sync material to your Phone via iTunes.

I can't get the camera to display the image before taking the picture

when I click on the camera button on my ipod, the screen is blank. I can take pictures by clicking the side button, but i can't preview the picture on the screen before I take it. The picture shows up in my pictures....

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
