Camera Issue without flash on.

Ok, I have let's say some teething problems with my iphone 4s. I have the battery issue where sometimes it doesnt charge to 100% (although my battery life is good), I also have the annoying background interference when i make a call and 3g is turned on. But now I think I have another issue!
When I take pictures (outside in sunlight-no case on, no plastic film on,no flash) If i stay in the same position with the same settings and take 5 pictures, two out of the 5 for instance will be much darker and less clear than the other three-its very noticable when you flick through! But the other three are perfect.......Any ideas what could be causing this, as all the variables for each picture are exactly the same minus 1 or 2 seconds between each picture, but the difference in quality is astounding. I'm not sure if this is a technical fault, as surely it wouldn't be able to take good pictures at all if it was?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Yes I ran into that symptom on an ASA5525X. We tried a number of things to fix it. Ultimately the solution was an RMA that replaced the ASA.

Camera issue - HD & Flash won't work together

Why can't I use HD and camera flash together now? If I put one on, the other automatically turns off. (I have an iPhone 4S.)

Beta's are buggy, that's the point of the beta is to give it to people so they an file bugs.
Have you restored to the shipping iOS5 yet? Backup your data then update to iOS5 and perhaps it will be fixed.

Yet another iPhone 4 camera issue - flash positioned too close to camera!

I have noticed photos taken with flash leave a bloom of white light on the left side of the photos. Seems to be the glare due to the fact the flash is positioned so close to the lens! There are no 'divider' between the 2.
Usually on other phones, the lens and flash are hollow to minimise this effect, on the iPhone 4 both are on a flat surface and 2mm away from each other which exaggerate the problem even more!
This problem seems to resemble similar issue with the N97.
Why didn't Apple put the flash away from the lens to avoid this issue?

I thought this was a problem when I first used my flash, but realized I had my finger too close to the flash and it was reflecting off of my finger.. Just make sure the light is not bouncing off of something in the environment that is close to the LED i.e. fingers..

Flash Camera Issue

What makes a camera compatible with flash? I have a camera I purchased from IDS Imaging and it shows up in my camera list in as3 with print out the array made from Camera.names. But when I go to use it, it just doesn't show up. I do have a lens on it, and it can see it working when I used the IDS software provided for testing. I've also been able to make it work in c#, but I want to use it for a flash app I'm developing.
Here is a link to the camera.

Empty camera names in Flash Player with Google Chrome

So, it seems we got another problem with devices (cameras and microphones) in Flash Player integrated with Google Chrome (PPAPI). Many Flash developers can remember clickjacking problem and ugly fix for this issue implemented in Google Chrome. For now, if you have some application that uses camera or microphone, Google Chrome users must allow access to their devices twice: for Flash Player (small window centered in Flash-object) and for Google Chrome (gray panel with buttons under address bar).
Until recently the whole process of granting camera access looked like this:
Application want to attach camera to Video object or NetStream.
Even without permission you can get camera names and populate some UI components with them.
Flash Player show security panel with "Allow" and "Deny" buttons.
Google Chrome show it's own security panel, so both security panels are visible at the same time.
Users press "Allow" button in Flash Player security panel.
Now you have false for camera.muted property, but camera show zero FPS, because access is still denied in browser.
Users press "Allow" button in browser security panel.
Win! You have access granted everywhere.
Of course, that second security panel of Google Chrome is a real pain. Users just don't notice it. Flash developers handled this issue with hints inside application and FAQ pages. But now we have another big problem.
Recently the process of granting camera access changed to this:
Application want to attach camera to Video object or NetStream.
You can't get camera names until access granted in browser. There will be just spaces (" ", symbol with code 32) in camera.name property.
Flash Player show security panel with "Allow" and "Deny" buttons.
Google Chrome will not show it's security panel until access granted in Flash Player.
Users press "Allow" button in Flash Player security panel.
Now you have false for camera.muted property, but camera show zero FPS and have no name, because access is still denied in browser.
Google Chrome show it's own security panel.
Users press "Allow" button in browser security panel (this panel shown twice for some reason).
Now you have access granted everywhere, but devices still have just spaces instead of real names.
Unfortunately, AS3 will not update camera names after access granted in browser. Camera names are empty event in Flash Player settings window before browser access granting. So it's impossible now to get camera names in Flash application running in Google Chrome without reloading. User need to grant access in browser first, than reload application and only after that we can get camera names in AS3. I have tried to use flash.media.scanHardware() to refresh camera names, but it seems it's not working.
Also I have created a small example and posted it online. You can test it by yourself in Google Chrome. Just don't forget to clear your choice each time. You need to remove "http://wonderfl.net:80" entry from list on chrome://settings/contentExceptions#media-stream to clear your prevoius choice.
Also I got similar complaints from Opera users.

So, I wonder if it's a bug or some kind of new security feature implemented by Google Chrome team? Maybe someone already faced this problem and can share more info about it.
For now it looks like modern browsers killing Flash with all that features and ugly solutions.
PS: You can find some silly mistakes in my message. Sorry for my English.
Updated code to check microphones also.

After couple of tests I have found strange behavior of PPAPI Flash.
The test was made with two SWFs working simultaneously on the same page. The first one was asking for device access like some regular application (by calling video.attachCamera). The second SWF was created/removed in cycle by JavaScript to avoid this thing:
Scanning the hardware for cameras takes time. When the runtime finds at least one camera, the hardware is not scanned again for the lifetime of the player instance.
I have made both SWFs to get all devices names and post them to screen. So I was able to see all changes regarding devices in first SWF (before and after permission granted) and in refreshable second SWF (each second). Also I have used scanHardware in both SWfs.
I have found that second (refreshable) SWF got correct list of devices, but first one got only microphones. Camera names was empty.
So it looks like we have another bug of PPAPI Flash here. I don't have another explanation for this. I mean, why do they need to update only microphones, but not cameras?

Iphone 4s pictures come white hazy even without flash and case on it.

Hi Friends I am using the iphone 4s, the issue is when i took the pictures from iphone camera with flash,without flash, without any case all the time I am getting the white hazy picture, i read the discussion on this issue and i tried without case even in day without flash pictures come white hazy. I dont know what is the issue but it is really frustrating. But when I doing auto correction in edit then picture looks great but editing every picture is very cumbersome. please suggest in solutions.

Does your phone have a case? I had a Speck case and pics with flash came out, no problem. Now I have a Unu Battery Case which is thicker. When I now take pics with flash, they come out cloudy. I think it's because the flash reflects off the cutout where the light is. If I take the case off, the pictures come out clear and bright.

MacBook Air 2013 with Mavericks 10.9.1 has Facetime HD Camera issues

Hi, I've been using a new 2013 MacBook Air with 10.9.1 for the last 3 weeks (I used to have a 2010 Macbook Pro 15 with Mavericks) and the Facetime HD camera is having issues being detected by different applications.
In my case I mainly use Google Hangouts, Skype, and sometimes Facetime. The problem lies on that the camera sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't.
I usually reboot the camera with 'sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant' and that makes it work, but it shouldn't be like that.
Please note that this was not happening with my 2010 MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I changed to this new 2013 MacBook Air only 3 weeks ago. Nevertheless, people that I work with (who use retina macbooks with Mavericks) are not having this issue.
Last week I had to install a plugin (in chrome) for a new online site similar to Hangouts called BlueJeans. Bluejeans very seldomly recognizes the cam, only when I reboot it with the 'line' above or reboot the machine. The people I work with didn't have any issues, so I suspect this has to do with 2013 MacBook Air's Facetime HD cameras which might be different to the rest, or too new on the market.
It's as if when I start using it in Hangouts and then hang, later it might not work in Skype, or viceversa.
If you can help, that'll be great, and I appreciate it. Nevertheless, I feel Apple must take care of this in the next Mavericks update (many people are having camera issues).

Hi Jal1980
I had the same pb...
On my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 I Had a problem with my video on skype, facetime, photoboot....
I have tried all the solution offered in every forum and never got to a satisfying result. I downgraded to mountain lion from mavericK without result. I reseted the Pram or SMC (I forgot), and other things, I played with the plugin /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/, I tried several version of skype.... NONE of this solution worked....
Until that day a friend came to my place and installed AppleJack for Mac, a free software (http://download.cnet.com/AppleJack/3000-2094_4-40293.html) that totally solved this issue amongst others...
Here is the full page of the program http://applejack.sourceforge.net/man.html
And here quick instructions on how to use the program. Have fun!
Restart your computer. After you hear the startup chime, press and hold down the
Cmd and s keys together (this will put you in single user mode). You should soon get a Terminal-type screen with a dramatic garble of indecipherable messages and a shell prompt that looks something like [root#]
2. Now, type applejack at the prompt. (If you’ve installed applejack manually, or have not created an alias to applejack for the root user, you may have to enter the full path to the script at the prompt.) You will be guided through a series of steps that will repair your drive and delete possibly corrupted files. Options are selected by typing the number corresponding to the task you want to perform, and then hitting the return key. For example, when you see a few different options, like this:
[1] Option One [2] Do something else [3] Another task [4] A useful task
From time to time, in interactive mode, you will be asked to answer yes or no to a question. To answer yes, type y and hit the return key. To answer no, type n and hit the return key.
An advantage of using the interactive mode instead of auto mode is that you are given options for also cleaning out user-level caches and preference files. If you would like to clean out your main admin user caches, for example, you will need to use interactive mode.
3. Auto mode: If you want to leave
applejack to do it’s own thing, just choose option [a] when the script starts. You can also start right up in auto mode by typing: applejack auto at the prompt. applejack will run through all the basic cleanup tasks in order. Alternatively, you can also type applejack auto restart which will tell applejack to do the cleanup tasks and then automatically restart your computer. Other options are: applejack auto shutdown which tells AppleJack to shut down the computer after running its tasks, or applejack AUTO shutdown which tells AppleJack to run automatically in "deep cleaning" mode (see above) and then shut down.
I hope this helps. It completely solved my issue.

When will HTML5 be supported on all browsers without Flash

When will HTML5 be supported on all browsers without Flash. Flash is a support nightmare. No matter how much Adobe wants to rescue it, it's antiquated proprietary functionality that poses both security and support issues.

"When will HTML5 be supported on all browsers without Flash?"
This is a really weird question. Why ask it here?
For starters...HTML5 support on all browsers is not something Adobe is responsible for, so why ask that question on this forum? Instead, if you want anyone with a stake in the issue to answer it, ask the browser manufacturers (e.g. Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Apple) when they will be supporting all features of HTML5. The ball's in their court right now.
Secondly, for e-learning developers HTML5 is currently a bigger support nightmare than Flash ever was. At least with Flash we had a runtime (Flash Player) that all major desktop browsers supported. You could create a course in Flash or Captivate, and as long as the end-user's browser had a current version of Flash Player, you could be reasonably certain it would run, and run smoothly. HTML5 output from most current generation authoring tools runs like a dog with three legs. And e-learning developers forced to build HTML5 or mobiles are encountering a minefield of wildly differing screen sizes and inconsistent implementations reminiscent of the worst years of the 90's "browser wars". HTML5 is no picnic. Give me Flash any day.
Thirdly, Adobe already knows they cannot "rescue" Flash. Why do you think they've already started rolling out HTML5-centric apps such as the Edge Toolset.
Fourthly, the rumours of the death of Flash have been wildly exaggerated. Flash is very much alive and well and happily living inside many of the games and apps that people are currently playing with on their mobile devices.

Z1C camera issues - manufacturing date? recall?

Hi,
I went through the whole thread about the camera issues.
Sadly I got a bad phone as well (black version).
The flash leakage isn't the only problem, the camera looses focus during video shooting as well, and the most bothering thing is the photo quality on regular photos (manual mod, different ISO, whatever..) which is poor even compared to the Galaxy S2 !!
I was very dissapointed, and it seems the local retailer isn't familiar with the issue..
I'm willing to wait but I am afraid suffering users will be forgotten and Sony will focus on the Z2/compact/whatever they will release next...
I read in the xda forums a review that shows much better results from the camera
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663132
Is it possible that just the first models have this problem?
Maybe we can figure out from the manufacturing date something?
Mine was manufactured on Oct. 2013, black version.
What do you think?
Thanks !!

Hi to all Sony fans the camera is actually very good but the thing that screwed it up is the stuperior auto that is **bleep** the owsome hardware under the hood,regarding flash bleeding iam not seeing any bleed,so after testing i found the follwoing results for owsome pics:
1-iso 50 for shooting 0 to 1 meter far away from the object.
2-iso 100 for shooting 1 to 2 meter far away from the object.
3-iso 200 for shooting 2 meter and above.
or use camera zoom x its not great as manual mode but it is way better than stuperior auto if u want to shoot good photos at great speed in the dark well its android so there is alternative to any **bleep** app
for shooting a single face but the focus on face detection,for multiple or large objects but the focus on multiple autofucos
Down ul find the pics the blured and ugly from stuperior auto the good one are from applying these modes:

IPhone 5 camera issue.... NEED HELP please

I just got this iPhone 5 camera issue. I was taking pictures (around 20 pictures), suddenly the camera only focused downward (to the ground). Even I raised the iphone higher and focused to the head of person that stood in front of me, but the camera still took the pictures of that person's hip and legs. Every pictures that I took were focusing downward.
I tried it today the second time. After I continously took 40 pictures, this problem started again.
Should I get a replacement? IS it a ios6 or phone problem?
Actually, after I restarted the phone, this problem was gone. But I just want to make sure that this problem will not come again after 1year warrantee.

when your r on your camera app, press and hold the sleep/wake button and after 4 secs you'll see the red slide of power off option. without sliding that, just press and hold the home button until the camera app quits. This will reset the app.
If this doesnt work, go to your comp and delete the softwareupdate.ipsw file from itunes media folder (if you've previoulsy updated or restored) and do a restore. this will download a new update file from apple server that will be error free.

Only saving what I edit camera issues

I have edited a few home movies and have taken then down from like 2 hours to about an hour, alot was bad shooting, camera issues, etc.
I notice the project size has not changed and have even dragged some of the clips out of imovie and see it really never deletes anything, what is the fasted way to have a new project with just what I want in the timeline?
Do I have to export it to a full dv file and then reimport to imovie?
Message was edited by: rwltrz4

iMovie 6 uses nondestructive editing. That means that if you use only 4 seconds of a 20 minute clip, iMovie saves the entire clip in its project files, even though you put only the 4 seconds into your timeline. Deleting the trash or dragging some clips out of iMovie does not change iMovie's files.
If you are certain that you will not need the rest of the clips again in this movie, yes, you can export it as quicktime, full quality and then reimport that quicktime movie into a new iMovie, and it will contain only the clips that were in your timeline, so its size will be smaller. Any edits you made will be incorporated and the movie will be created as one long clip, without separate audio tracks for any audio you added. You can still edit, but it is a bit trickier. If you have only cropped the clips and have not added titles, effects or audio, you can still do that by splitting the clips where you want the titles, effects and transitions. You can add audio wherever you wish, just be sure to lock the audio clip in position so that it remains with the correct video.
If you are going to be making a DVD of your movie using iDVD, the movie's size is not a factor, only its length in time. For single-layer DVDs, the maximum time for its contents is two hours, and double that for the dual-layer DVDs.

Wired Keyboard issues with Flash / general slowness with LION

So I upgraded to Lion about a month or so ago. All has not been great. I am running a 2009 Dual Core Intel iMac with 3 GB ram. One thing I notice is that initially certain flash support was NOT supported (mainly web cam support through flash on web sites). So web sites offering chat clients with cam support as an example - the performance would lag badly where typing messages would skip letters and leave nothing but garble. I attempted to try different browsers, but found the results to be disappointing:
Safari: Web cam support through web sites was simply broken - even manually trying to alter adobe settings would not get you any further
Firefox 5: You had to set permissions for web cam support prior to launching a web site as flash settings to enable / disable it within the web site were simply not useable
Chrome: Settings worked, but the performance was so slow, if using a web chat client and a web cam at the same time, it was almost impossible to type proper words unless you typed a character a minute.
I realize there has been a Lion update recently (a few weeks ago) and after the update, most of these issues seemed to be fixed. But then, Adobe came out with a FLASH update and now performance is lagging once again to the point where web cam and chat is almost not useable.
Is there anything that can be done to work around this issue?

Camera has no flash

Hello,
My camera has NO FLASH! Can't seem to figure out how to turn it on! Please help.

My wife just upgraded from the 8330 to the 8530, and I must say I am not very impressed. Not only did we have problems transferring her data over (something caused it to go into constant reboots - had to wipe it and reinstall the OS), but she just discovered that there is no flash! Not something that you would not even think to ask about in this day and age on a camera phone! I understand the argument that the cameras don't take good pictures anyway so why would it matter....but if that's your attitude then buy a model without a camera. For the ones that come with a camera, obviously we are not professional photographers using it for work. It's simply convenient to have on you (which our digital camera is usually not) to snap a quick picture (of the kids or whatever). For it not to have a flash is just completey pointless and stupid! Especially when the model that this is updating (the 8330) did have one! She's going to be taking it back. I just hope she cools down first and drops this notion of switching to the iphone!

A7000 camera issue

I'm using Lenovo A7000-a almost a month. The one an only annoying issue is 'camera', specifically Rear Cam. Also assure that other users are facing this problem too...
* Rear camera is not 'upto the mark' , not even satisfactory.
At low budget phone we can't expect too much, but can expect a decent one.
After the update 'camera issue' [ Build no. - A7000-a_S133_150424_ROW ] nothing noticeably changed.
* Too much noise on even daylight photos.
* Focus time is too much. Even it cannot properly focus an object...
( It's focusing the object quite well, but the time when it takes the shot, it took dull photos )
*** this is the main reason, why I'm posting here-
>in low light photo , HDR ON mode, took pictures almost in focus, but the over all picture brightness goes down.
>>in low light photo , HDR OFF mode & Flash on, took pictures is not in focus. it cannot focus the picture at all !!!
>>>in normal light photo , HDR on & Macro Shot, took pictures almost in focus, but when captured its out of focus!!! Same prob when Flash is on... ***
I'm tested two other A7000-a phones, all have same problem...
Also using A6000. It can take better shots rather than A7000!!!!
understand the that front cam is not up to the mark, it can happen low end budget phone... but Rear cam!!!
Please, consider a update can fix focusing problem... i understand that noises comes from the sensor of the camera, but focusing problem you guys can fix this...
I must say that, the update for camera was a dull one.. Please roll out a good update.
I'm just saying for a better update...
The phone looks good, spec are good , but this camera pulled it back...

Everybody facing these types of probleme with tha camera...
The camera is not able to focus after giving flash in low light whereas other phones are easily able 2 do....
Lenovo's first update didn't give any changes to the camera...
Lenovo..i'll be eagerly waiting for your next update with improved camera... Competing with other phone in the market..

DROID 3 - CAMERA ISSUES

Droid 3 Camera issues I am running into:
- - First - If I can start the camera without it causing the phone to crash.... (how do you disable the "Droid" sound on reboot - getting VERY annoying)
- - I have to use a task killer to keep the camera from burning up the battery after using it. - WHY????
- - I bought my phone to keep in touch via skype with my son @ college - but now learn that the droid 3, with it's front facing camera DOES NOT WORK - (not on the Verizon-specific Skype - what a lame app), but using the real Skype app... on a video chat, the Droid gives a black screen, not my image. ???   From what I see online, same response from other video chat tools.   This was one of the biggest selling points for me!!! Am more than mildly annoyed at this one.
Previous phone was a Droid 2 - with none of these problems.... appears that the Droid3 was released before testing and fixing issues.
PLEASE ADDRESS THIS!!!

Try Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All Tab / Camera / Clear Data to resolve camera issue.... To disable startup sound try disabling Settings / Sounds / SD Mount or something along this.

I understand where you coming from but I would use System Panel instead of a task killer, a number of users helped me see the light of not using a task killer.

That strange because the Droid 3 is supported on Skype's site.
