Camera photos off-center

Sometimes when I take a picture on my iPhone 5, the image that it captures is not the image on the screen. Right when I press the shutter, the camera takes a picture several inches higher than was on my screen.

Same problem here with my up-to-date 5. It ruind a follow shot I only had one chance to get.

FaceTime camera appears off-center

I noticed today that on my iPhone 6 the FaceTime camera on the front appears way off-center. I've attached a photo, but it's a little hard to see. It doesn't seem to interfere with the camera, but I don't really know that without a comparison and I haven't seen any other iPhone 6 in person to compare how it looks. Should I
take this in to have looked at?

Here's a clearer photo. The lens does not appear to match up with the cut out or something beneath the glass seems to have slid over. I guess I can always just pop into an Apple store and ask them about it, but I was wondering if anyone else's looked like this.

My ipad 2 camera is off center is every ipad 2 like that?

My front facing camera is terribly off center. My face isn't big at all and is on the small side even, but if I hold the ipad in landscape mode in a comfortable position half of my face gets cutoff. I have to stretch my arms all the way to get all of my face in and it's centered on the right-hand side of the screen. Are all ipads like this or can I trade it in for a more centered camera?

I'm not near an Apple Store, so I called Applecare and told them about it.(had to call back b/c of a system being down). They said they will ship me a new one this week. I know it has to be a design flaw because, my other ipad 2 does NOT have this problem at all! I have the photos to prove it to them, and offered to send them to them, but the declined.
Later this afternoon after I posted here, I went to BestBuy and played around with the ipad 2 that was on display. And guess what? the front facing camera was fine. I also hit PC Richards and tested their display model, and again, no problem with front facing camera!
I just hope the one they send me works like my other one. For the money we pay for these things, they should work correctly. Having to angle your arm all the way to the right would only serve as a recipe for disaster, that when taking a photo, it only would serve to make it easier to drop the ipad altogether.
Thanks for your reply. Maybe you should contact apple again and make them aware of it. Tell them you know people who have ipads that do NOT have the problem. They have to replace it!
Being that you're covered, they will send one out to you (so you can use the one you have until you get the replacement). Then, you just have to put the one you have in the box and peel off the label, and have Fedex pick it up and send it back to them. But make sure your replacement works before you do . The first thing I'm going to do is test the replacement camera immediately.
Good luck and give it a shot. Spending $good money on these things, they should work!

HP TrueVision camera is off center

I have a HP Pavilion dm4-1160us. It has been working very well until recently the HP TrueVision lense somehow gets off center. Half of the lense is covered by the frame. So, it will have a dark area almost half off the screen where the lense is covered, but the other half is still working nice. I don't know how to get to back to center. Any suggestion will be appreciate. Thank you!

How do I get camera photos off my iphone?

How can I get the photos that I have taken with the iPhone off onto my computer?

You get pictures taken with the iphone onto your computer just like you would with any digital camera.
Your Mac will recognize it as a camera.
Open iphoto, if it doesn't open automatically when you connect iphone, and import the pictures.

Iphone 6 Camera Off Center

My camera is off center. I would like to start a discussion about this and keep the thread open until Apple has a confirmed resolution. Obviously bringing it into a store and getting a new one isn't working.

There's already a lengthy thread about this cosmetic defect issue: FaceTime camera appears off-center
You don't need to start a new thread. I suggest you use the forum search function in the future.

Xperia Z3 off center camera

Hallo! Recently i changed the screen due to yellow tint at the bottom. After that(maybe service operation isn' t the problem), i spotted that my rear camera is off center.. After a recearch, i found thay many sony and samsung devices have this problem, but i can' t understand why, since the position of the camera and of the back glass is standard.. Do you have this issue? It' s only cosmetic. Here is a picture:

That's odd, contact your local Xperia Care regarding this issue http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/contactUs/

Camera photos look off-center but aren't really

Does anyone have this problem? You take a pic with the iPhone camera and every one looks off-center? I tried taking a few today for the first time and they were all a little to the left. So I trashed them then tried again and same thing. Then I turned the iPhone landscape and voila the pic was centerd correctly. I turned the iPhone back straight up and again it stayed centered.
But if I go back to the home screen, choose Photos, and select the same one, it's off-center again, until I turn it landscape and back, and then it's fine again.
I post this to find out if this is happening to others or whether it's just a glitch in my iPhone. It's worth mentioning I figure since it may cause you to mistakenly think you took a bad picture and then trash it.

Yes, I have this problem and searched forum and found your message. Thank you for the solution of rotating to landscape. It was driving me nuts. I don't know what is causing this behavior but am very surprised you have not received a response. This seems a very noticeable problem, but not so bad now that I have found out from you the image is actually ok. thanks, ralph

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

FaceTime Camera Off-center on iPhone 6

Has anyone else noticed their FaceTime (front facing) camera on their iPhone 6 to be off center? My original phone was off by quite a bit, and was swapped out by the Genius Bar for a new one. It was perfect at the time I received it (few days ago) but now appears to start shifting out of center, as apparent by a slight white crescent shape on the top right (I'll post pictures later today).

look at mine, I've got detailed picture showing its the film around the camera thats moved, not the camera itself... very annoying defect. seems to be most/all space grey iPhone 6

I am unable to open my iphotos have tried the command,option hold down thing and nothing can open my photo libary but no the iphonts, can't get photos off my camera or iphone onto my mac.?

I am unable to open my iphoto, have tried the command, option hold down, nothing, can't get my photos off my camera or my iphone, but i used to be able to?

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app(s) in your purchase history. If there's a button markedACCEPT on the right, click it.
Step 2
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 3
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
Step 4
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 5
Delete the app(s) you want to update and reinstall them.

MacBook built-in iSight camera off center

Hi Folks,
Is there any way to re-align the built in iSight camera on a MacBook? In order to be centered in the image, I have to turn my MacBook about 8 or 9 degrees to the left. If I am sitting directly in front of the camera, I am off-center. Any help is appreciated. My girlfriend and I both have MacBooks, and her camera appears to be aligned properly.

Call apple support, I wouldnt try realigning it myself, otherwise if you do end up needing apples help they can blaim you by "offcentering it in the first place" sorta thing...

Off center 4x6 photos

Is it my printer or something else? Printing 4x6 photos with an HP L7590 AIO from iPhoto and the right margin or the top margin is but a sliver depending on whether it's horizontal or vertical. Contacted Hp support and their suggestion was to use HP Photosmart Studio for printing. The margins are more equal with that option but it's a bit more time consuming than printing directly from iPhoto. There must be a setting somewhere for the margins. I thought that maybe by constraining the image to 4x6 would be the answer but the photos still come out off center. Even when printing borderless there is a narrow white margin on one side even with 5x7s. Haven't tried printing a 5x7 without checking borderless so I don't know what the results would be.
I would like to begin with solving the non-centered 4x6 photo printing first.

Thank you LN for your suggestions.
I deleted the .plist file, reset the personal preferences and printed a horizontal 4x6 photo that was previously constrained to 4x6 in iPhoto.
Unfortunately, the top margin on the horizontal print is about 1/16" and the bottom one is 3/16".
The left margin is almost 5/16" and the right side is closer to 1/2".
The paper is 4x6 hp advanced glossy Q7906A and the measurements above are after removing the tear off tab.
The iPhoto library has never been moved from its original location.

FaceTime camera on new iPad appears off center

This isn't my first iPad so I am familiar with how the FaceTime camera operates but when using this new one my camera appears to be off center and my face is cut off in both landscape and portrait positions. Does anyone know why it might be doing this?

What do you mean? The FaceTime camera isn't aligned in the center of the top of the iPad? As for your face being cut off, I think that may be a software glitch, just restore your iPad (back it up before you restore it, but don't put any of your apps back) then see if the problem still persists. If it's fixed after you have no apps, try updating all your apps, otherwise an app may have a bug that is causing your iPad to do this. The FaceTime camera may not look aligned because you might be concentrating too hard at it. Let me know if this helped
