Blackberry rear camera shows rainbow.

My Z10's rear camera does not work. It only shows horizontal colourful lines. When I take a picture it shows rainbow lines as well. Please help! Is there anyway to fix it?

Hi,
You can either download the BlackBerry Virtual Expert from BlackBerry World or go into Help and select Testing, which will allow you to use BlackBerry Virtual Expert without downloading it. In the BlackBerry Virtual Expert (BBVE) you can test each feature in your BlackBerry Z10. Test the front & rear cameras, if one or both are at fault. You could try a software update or reload to see if that helps if it does, then I suggest you contact your point of purchase as they are responsible for repairs and replacements.

My Rear Camera shows a crack when taking photos

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.2. When I take photos with the rear camera, there is is crack or line in the upper right corner of every zoomed out photo I take. Can anyone help me out on what could be the problem? I took apart the iPhone 5 and cleaned the camera compartment from inside. There are no cracks on the sapphire lens cover.
I have attached a link to a photo that I took.

Sounds like a hardware failure to me. I'm sure you've checked the obvious, like something covering the lens.

Anyone having trouble with the recording function on the rear camera on iPad ios7?

The rear camera shows while I'm recording video but I'm just getting sound when I play it back.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Since updating my phone to the new iOS 7 latest update my rear camera only shows a black screen and my touch no longer works?

does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried the restarting my phone and closing down the camera app but it still doesn't work

Hi MLucas22,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend this article for troubleshooting your touchscreen:

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Cheers,

My iPhone 5 shows the flashlight icon but in a shadowed way, as if it is disabled. Also the rear camera is not working. The iOS version is 7.1.1

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Rear camera stopped working after iOS 7.0.2 update on iPhone 5. Why?

I just bought my iPhone 5 two days ago and it was running iOS 6.1.3. Camera was working perfectly and just after the update, I took like 2 pictures, and at first when trying to take a picture, almost half of my screen was in pink. After few attempts it just showed a black screen and app just freezes. Not only on camera app, buy on other related photo apps. Really wanted to know what's happening.

5th generation ipod touch rear camera no longer works; have tried everything; now what?

so my ipod touch 5th generation's rear camera hasnt been working for a month or two. the front camera works, but once I click on the button to switch to the rear, it freezes. i have tried resetting my settings, backing up and restoring my ipod, force closed and moved the camera app, etc. also, when i use facetime or snapchat, the rear camera option doesnt even show up. Online ive read that this is a hardware problem, so i was wondering what i could do or where i could take it to be fixed? and if i did take it in, how much would repair cost? thanks in advance.
also, there is no apple store around me within like two and a half hours. i bought this from best buy in 2013, could i take it there or can i send it in to apple?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

My rear camera on my iphone 5 no longer works in camera app after ios 7 install

My iphone 5 updated to ios 7 and the new camera app no longer works. Sometimes I can get the front camera to
Show on the app. But the rear camera just shows black. And it won't switch bewtween the two cameras at all
Sometimes. What could this be?

I got the same problem with my iphone 5 rear camera and tried the solutions suggested here but it did not work.
The camera application which came with ios7 is frozen as soon as it opens. I does not take photos or switch between cameras.
I have been able to use the front camera with Snapseed, QR reader . however no application is able to open my rear camera.
I am not sure but it can related with the application updates either ios7 or the camera applications already installed on our iphone. Uninstalling those apps which has access to camera and rebooting may solve the problem. This is just an idea !

Can you get just your rear camera lens replaced or do you have to get the entire back screen replaced?

I recently dropped my phone for the first time, and neither of my screens cracked but my rear camera lens did get scratched badly. I can't use it at all to take picture. It just shows up as a fuzy screen when I open my rear camera. My iPhone isn't even a year old yet. Now, I need to know if I can get just the rear lens replaced or if I have to get the entire back screen replaced? I also need to know if anyone knows how much either of these would cost? Or is it free with the one year warrenty?

You would have to get the rear glass panel replaced, it is one part. Normal warranty does not cover accidential damage. You can do it yourself for 50$:

Helix rear camera update doesn't work correctly

The update gfc214ww.txt for the helix camera has only a correct update for the front camera - the update for the rear camera doesn't work.
There isn't any inf-file for the 5M-rear-camera.
After the update the version 1.0.0.78 should appear in the devicemanager, but it's the old driver from 2006 from microsoft.
I think there is something missing in the installationfile:
.../CAMERA/5M_Drv
With the old driver the rear camera is very slow, like a old webcam, which show's the pictures through internet - especially it's very slow, if you change resolution to 5M.
Is there any solution?
Kind regard
Dieter

In Windows go to the control panel/system/device manager & select each of the affected devices (one at a time) and use the 'rollback to previous driver' option.

Iphone 5c does not work rear camera (screen is black) and a flash light since yesterday. Maybe someone knows what happened.

Yesterday stopped working camera application turns on but the screen is black. It does not work too flashlight. It is gray in the control panel. Maybe somebody know what happened if I need to return my phone service warrants.

Purple "smudges" in camera app, only in rear camera

I have these two purple "smudges" when I use the rear camera in the camera app.
This image shows an unaltered image (except for cropping in order to show up here) of a picture I shot from my iPhone.
Interestingly, if I zoom in far enough when I take a picture they disappear completely.
Here's a screenshot I took of the iPhone's camera app showing how far I have to zoom in in order for the "smudges" to disappear completely.
Here's a screenshot of how far I have to zoom in order for the "smudges" to almost disappear.
Here's a photo I shot that's unaltered (again, except for cropping the image in order to show up here) of the same general area in the same zoom level as the image above.
What are these "smudges"? How can I get rid of them? I know they're not lens flare.

im also having a problem on my iPhone 4 that just started today, about 100 or so photos and videos just completely disappeared.. basically it shows the last 4-5 photos that i took, and then the first 50 or so.. everything in between is gone.
when i view from the camera vs the photos app the last 4-5 differ.. so who knows *** is going on...
but if you download a program called iExplorer you can view and download everything, as all the files are still there

Helix + Onenote Rear Camera only produces still

One of the great features of onenote is recording audio/video while taking notes.
On the Helix, this works as expected with the front camera and just audio. However, when switched to the rear camera it looks like it is recording, but in fact there is only one still there.
(It is an improved with windows 8.1 though. In Windows 8 OneNote did not even detect the rear camera).
Has anyone a clue why this is not working?
Interesting detail: If i try to record a video in the standard camera app, I get the error message that something went wrong ....
Thanks,
Ruud
