Front Facing Camera - FLASH

When I attempt to take pictures using the front camera, the pictures are very dark. Is there a flash for the front facing camera?

There isnt any device that I know of that has a flash on the front camera, usually you have to follow B33 suggestion to adjust exposure which doesnt give the best results sometime of somply make sure to be around some light..
So in a short answer... No there is no flash....

Why does my screen keep flashing white when I use my front facing camera?

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1. Whenever I use my front facing camera, the footage I take shows a white flash on the screen every second or so. It looks almost like the glare that you get from looking straight into a flashlight. This doesn't happen every time time I film, and when it does, it can easily be solved by stopping and restarting again, but it's still annoying.

This issue is associated with your graphics driver not being compatible with PS' hardware acceleration. Updating the driver if possible would be advisable, otherwise turn off OpenGL drawing under Preferences --> Performance.

Flash/ front facing camera/ crash

Hi,
I have some issues with my new phone:
1.The flash on my Nokia Lumia 920 stopped working (even in third party applications).
2.My front facing camera began to be defective (see the attachment) and shorlty after, it stopped working completely.
3. Recenlty, my phone starts to freeze in some apps and the only way to solve this is by pressing on volume+power+camera.
I hope that I can have some answers, because my phone is new (april) and these problems are quite strange.
Thank you
Solved!

Suggest that you save data to SkyDrive and consider resetting this device to "Out of Box" state as a pre-cursor to returning device to Nokia Care facility for attention, once you have excluded any possible software corruption:

Lumia 620 front facing camera

Hi,
i am unable to use the front facing camera on my lumia 620.
i have tried updating the software and it says there are no new updates as it is fully up to date, however i still cannot work out how to use the front facing camera. Everything else on the phone works fine, including the main camera and the flash. I can see it has a camera on the front and reviews have said it is a vga camera, but i am unable to use it, as i cannot work out how.
Help is much appreciated, thanks

Will screen protector affect the quality of the front facing camera?

I got my screen protector cut out and fitted on my phone in Hanoi very cheaply - looks great. However, they were not able to cut out the hole for the front facing camera as well as I would want it to look like (it was either to big or not round enough, etc). So I ended up with a screen protector covering my front facing camera.
They said this will not affect the quality of the front facing camera. However, Lenovo S90 has a 8MP front facing camera, so I it's not like fitting a screen protector on a 5 year old nokia with VGA front camera. How much do you think this will affect the quality of the front facing camera? Unless I can compare 1:1 pics, its hard to say.
I know the Lenovo original screen protector has a hole for the flash light, camera, and the sensor. So I wonder if anyone at Lenovo ever tested how does screen protector affect the quality of the camera? (Btw. I really do not see a need for a hole for the proximity sensor, it seems to work well with screen protector on it, so why bother?)
P.S. I am currently in KL, JameZ, so I was wondering if Lenovo KL can do a screen protector for S90 and how much would that cost. My screen protector is actually so well done that you could not say there is a screen protector on the phone. I only worry about the quality of the front facing camera.

Welcome to Malaysia mate!
I think the best place to get screen protectors in Malaysia (KL) would be Low Yat Plaza. At the 3rd floor, there are heaps of shops selling accessories.
Separately, I use glass based protectors and they are do have holes for Proximity sensor, light sensor and front cam.
I don't think the screen protector would affect the quality of the front cam but rather the light sensor.
Also if the screen protector you use is clear, it should be fine. Take a selfie!

Is this normal for the iPad's front facing camera?

Whenever I use the front facing camera, there is always a tiny white line at the exact same spot, regardless if I rotate it. It isn't a problem with the screen because if I switch to the rear facing camera everything's normal. I would love to post a pic but I dint know how. Does anyone know if it is a hardware problem or just the light?

You can make a screenshot by pressing both keys once (home and sleep) for an instant, until you see a flash.
It may be an hardware problem; is there a strong light behind you? Some cameras are sensitive to some light sources and may show a line.

My front facing camera on my IPad mini keeps freezing up, just goes blank, why can I do?

My front facing camera won't work on my iPad mini, just freezes up or goes black, any tips on what to do?

Hi stella32,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Although written for iPhone, this article has some camera troubleshooting tips that would also apply to iPad and may help:

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 4s front facing camera won't work. How do I fix it?

My iphone 4s's front facing camer freezes like it's about to work but I don't know how to make it work. It just stays frozen.

Hi Avir,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for the issue you are having with your camera.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

My front facing camera is not working. How can I get it to work again?

My back camera works just fine but when I switch it over to the front facing camera it just freezes and never switches then takes awhile to switch back over. It first started in the Snapchat App but now my actual camera App is doing it.

Hi Evie ray,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Some good first things to try are forcing any camera-using apps to close, and then restarting and resetting:

How secure is the front facing camera?

Is there a way to tell if the front facing camera is on? Since iOS supports multi-tasking. From the security side, is it safe to assume the front camera is always on, unless a tape is covering it?
thanks

When not using the Camera app, it is not on or running in the background. The Camera app is quit when leaving the app just as it was quit with leaving the app prior to iOS4. Just because an app is in the fast app switching and recently used apps bar or dock does not mean the app is running in the background. Very few apps will run in the background when leaving the app such as a music streaming app and a GPS navigation app. Some 3rd party apps will be placed in a suspended state when leaving the app such as with a game. An app in a suspended state is open but not running in the background - it is suspended or frozen not using any processor cycles or battery. Nothing has changed with the Camera app in this regard with iOS4.

Bionic. post-ICS update. front facing camera pixelated/artifacts

Hello,
After I updated to ICS, the front facing camera began showing weird pixelation/lines. this did not happen before the update.
I reset my phone to factory settings and the camera till showed the following lines.
any ideas? Verizon, please help!

Hi RIJAH,
Yikes! I know how important it is to have a working camera on your device. Thank you for completing the Master Reset on your device. Do you have any third party camera applications downloaded on your device? If so, please remove them. If there are no third party apps and your camera is still not working after the reset, we would need to replace the device. Is your phone still under the warranty?

Apps that use front facing camera?

are there any apps out yet that use the front facing camera kind of like facetime? where you're talking to someone using your front camera as live feed with something like stickam, skype, ect? just curious, thank you!

Apple aren't here. This is a user-to-user forum only.
When in the Camera app, what happens when you tap the icon to switch to the front camera?
Have you made sure that Settings > General > Restrictions and make sure Allow: Camera is on.

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.
