Camera lens

Has anyone had any issues with the lens cover scratching? I have a new G3 that I've used without a case, as I do all phones, and a glass screen protector. I have never had keys in my pocket it is the only thing ever in my left front pocket. That being said, I have used it for about 20 days and didn't notice the issue till I went to take Christmas pictures. All the lights had halo's around them and the shots were washed out and dull. Checked the lens and there are tons of small scratches all over it, I tried to clean it with some photo wipes for camera lenses and no luck. I see it's a pretty common problem if you google search it, anyone had any luck cleaning it up or should I return it?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

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$:

How to clean c5-00 camera lens inside and out

pls help my phone is kinda cloudy when taking pictures... how to clean it properly and clening agents which is found on local market. tnx

Hi phoenixzurc,
If there is dust under the camera lens, please take the device to Nokia Care point and ask if they can clean it. Trying to clean it yourself might void the warranty of the device and potentially damage it. If there is dust on the lens, you can try to clean it with dry cloth.
Hope this helped!

Howdy Abhi131313,
Based on your iPhone's camera lens being cracked, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

HT201401 how do i get the camera lens to open i have instagram and camera on my phone and only the instagram works s this right?

having trouble with my iphone camera. I have instagram and camera on the phone. the instagram is working fine but camera lens wont open when i go to use it.

Nastyassink-
Apple's Camera Connection Kit includes both an SD adapter and a USB adapter. You can use an SD card or an adapted Mini SD card with the SD adapter. You can use a USB thumb drive with the USB adapter, as well as a USB adapter for other cards such as Compact Flash. (Some card adapters draw too much current and require a powered USB hub to work.)
It is required that the camera card or thumb drive be formatted as MS-DOS FAT, just as if it had been formatted in a camera. Photos and videos must be in a folder named DCIM, and have names consisting of 8 characters plus suffix, just as they would have been named in a camera.
Some video formats are not compatible with the iPad video player and must be converted on your computer. (The iPad can read M4V, MP4 and some MOV files.)

Camera lens scratches

Is there an ongoing issue with the camera lens on iPhone 4? My husbands lens is very degraded and my phone (only 9 months old) has scratches on the lens despite taking great care of it. Is this repairable and is the issue being resolved with newer models?

I have the same problem. My iPhone 4 takes very cloudly pictures due to so many scratches. I've heard Apple will replace the back panel for $29 (which includes the camera lens) I'm probably going to end up taking it to a Apple store and get it replaced

Camera lens now working

BINGO - HAVE FOUND A WAY A WAY OF FIXING CAMERA PROBLEM.
It is not a hardware issue, but a software issue.
Somewhere the camera the settings, have been messed up.
By re-setting from a back up, it only puts back the restored files etc, including the duff camera settings. Only by zeroing the iPhone will this work.
Hiya all, I recently sold my old iPhone 3G to a friend of mine, but I had the problem with the camera lens not opening, the camera application would still work, and sense the orientation of the phone. But it would let me take photos etc.
Before I passed the iPhone to my mate. I ZEROED the phone, by going into Settings/General/Reset, then select ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS.
Make sure you have you iPhone plugged into your computer or mains adapter etc, because this could take up to 2 hours.
This resets all settings to their defaults and erases all your information and media:
And also brings the iPhone back to the state, of when you first purchased the iPhone.
I've only just spoke to my friend who has taken the iPhone from me, and reassures me the camera is now working.

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

HT201401 Camera lens on iPhone 4 does not open and nothing is visible, although the camera functions normally via MMS only.

The virtual camera lens on my iPhone 4 stays closed when accessing the camera via the camera application. If I use the camera via the MMS messaging feature the camera will operate properly and save any picture to the camera roll.
So, there does not seem to be a hardware problem. The camera works fine except when I use the camera application itself.
I've reset the phone and performed a restore via iTunes, the camera will usually operate normally for a short period and then revert to a state where the camera lens will not open unless accessed by a third party app or via the MMS application.
I deleted any third party applications from the phone just in case there was a conflict, this did not help, the lens remains closed unless accessed by the messaging application or any other third party application.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as this is a very frustrating problem.

Since Reset is not helping, Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. If this does not fix problem, consider replacing camera or entire iPhone.

Why am I seeing dust inside my iPhone 5S camera lens?

I don't have a case for my iPhone 5S and I do carry it in my jeans pocket. I am also not a messy person. So today I noticed something -- there's clearly some dust inside the camera lens (the one in the back.) When I shake the phone it rattles around. How in the world can it get there? And is there anything I can do to get it out?

Not unheard of, look to your right under "More Like This" for related discussions.-->
You have a 1 year warranty. Take it in and let Apple look at it. Back it up first.

Some unknown stuff appears in my camera lens

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my camera lens. My camera lens seems to have something inside as whenever i used my camera, there's a purplish ray followed with a shadow appeared at the top right corner. It had been there since the first day I bought my Iphone 5.
It's there any way to "clean" it? Is it entitled for a warranty claim?
Thanks and regards,
Alvin

Bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and find out.

Problem with Camera lens on 16GB iPhone 3G

So I have a Black 16GB iPhone 3G and was wondering if my iPhone is the only one with the camera lens not sitting flush against the phone. Like when i rub my finger on the lens i can feel the silver circular border being slightly raised more than the black of the phone. So i was if it is a design flaw or bad assembling and was wondering if anybody else has this same "problem"?

It is normal, if anything being lower than the level of the phone is a good way to help eliminate fingerprints and dirt on the lens caused by your fingers and hand.

LightRoom Support For Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera/lens

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 has been listed as a supported camera since at least LightRoom 5.6 and the equivalent Adobe Camera Raw version.
I have both LR 5.7 and LR CC2015. In the Develop Module, Lens Correction area, there is no Panasonic camera/lens listed in the drop-down list of Profiled cameras in order to enable profile corrections.
LR does display the Panasonic RAW files without having to convert to another format, but can't apply lens-specific corrections due to its non-listing in that area.
Why is it not listed and can I get it listed somehow?

I have both LR 5.7 and LR CC2015. In the Develop Module, Lens Correction area, there is no Panasonic camera/lens listed in the drop-down list of Profiled cameras in order to enable profile corrections.
That's probably correct. The lenses from many cameras are not profiled by Adobe. It may be (I'm not sure about your camera) that the lens corrections are already applied by the camera, and so no additional corrections are needed in Lightroom.

Is it possible to replace the camera lens?

i purchased my phone refurbished and was just wondering if it was possible to replace the camera lens?

Probably.
Apple does not do this, nor do they sell the parts.

Is it possible to have the camera lens replaced?

Some how my camera lens has gotten scratched up, so now every time I take a picture it comes out blurry. Is it possible to have the lens replaced? Has anyone ever had that done?

I don't believe Apple does this. They will exchange your phone under an out of warranty exchange for $149

Why is it so much for a new 8 gig touch and has only one camera lens-that is completely unfair, and a terrible tactic to play on people...

i dont understand why apple is charging so much more for the new ipod touch 5 , 8 gig with just one camera lens on it....its highway robbery...not only that every store that is close by to me are sold out of the 8 gig they also tried to rope me into the more exspensive ones...shame on you apple for doing this...it cost you pennies to make these items and you cant help the little guy out by making it more affordable for a struggling single mother of two try to make this year better...i am ashamed of you and that your products are going down hill since the passing of the master mind...i will no long be purchasing your products and will be trading the other products i have so i can give my children a good christmas...thanks....

sorry yes i ment 16g it still don't make any sence on why they choose to place a front camera on the 16g and not one on the back as well....NOT EVERYONE takes selfies... thank you for the comparision info...but apple is falling short, they charge way to much money for this item...thanks for the respond...

Camera raw no longer supports my camera/lens.

I'm running Camera Raw 8.2. In earlier versions of Camera Raw the lens tab supported my camera and lens, an Olympus E-400 with a Zuiko 12-60 f2.8-4 zoom. Now it doesn't. Is there something I can do to get back support for this camera/lens?
Thanks, Mary

I’ve had every version of ACR since it was first available with Photoshop. I bought the Olympus E-400 in December 2006, a 50 mm macro in 2007 and the 12-60 zoom in 2008. I can’t actually remember when I first used the lens tab and found my lenses on it; but I do have a note that Olympus had gone from the camera list in late 2012.
What I do know is (a) that the Olympus brand and my lenses were there at some stage, and (b) that I didn’t have to download the Adobe Lens Profiler to get the profiles. I downloaded it yesterday for the first time.
However, today I’ve been searching for more information, and found this in the Lightroom Micro 4/3rds Talk Forum at http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3176384:
…the difference with the traditional digital camera systems is that lens correction data in m4/3 is stored in the lens firmware and communicated to the camera through the electronic connections in the lens mount. The data is used in in-camera JPEG production and is included in the output raw files. Adobe Lightroom and other converters can use this data for their own conversions. Hence no separate lens profiles are needed for native m4/3 lenses. Neat huh?
Neat indeed, if it’s also true of ACR. I guess it must be included in ‘other converters’. Can anyone verify that this is really true of Olympus cameras/Zuiko lenses?
