HT4528 Iphone 4 Rear Camera Shutter Not Opening

My IPhone 4 Rear Camera is not functioning, is there anything I can do to fix this? Or can I bring it to an Apple Store for them to check it?

First try one of these methodes:
Try to restart your iPhone
Hold the power button and slide to turn off, then turn it on
if you still have the same problem then try the second methode:
Reset Settings of your device:
Settings>> General>> Reset >> Reset All Settings
Make sure you reset only your settings and NOT any other Contents
if you still have the same problem, so it seems to be a hardware issue, take it to the nearest Apple Store.
Kind regards

  • Iphone 4 camera shutter not opening

    hi all,
    actually my iphone 4 camera shutter is not opening. im facing this problem after update,and is the replacement policy is also liable in inda , please help me out thanks in advance

    I read it, in that case (holding sleep/wake + home until iphone reboots): I have both rebooted and resetted my iPhone several times. Still without camera shutter.
    I have also removed and again installed several apps that use the camera, without success.
    The last time I'm sure the camera still functioned properly was January 1st.
    I have also force-quitted all apps from the background.
    Also, the flash on the rear of the phone does not work as it should. I have an app that enables it (Light as SpringBoard name), but the app does not respond to the on/off toggle and the flash just goes on and off randomly (not as strobe!) and uncontrollable.
    (I feel like David Attenborough saying camera shutter so often, "And this is a camera shutter: ...")

  • Iphone 3gs camera shutter not opening......

    hi......Plz. help.....   ihave iphone 3gs......am open camera but shutter not opening....  am also reset , restart , restore......iphone.....but same problem....?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Try clearing your Camera Roll.
    Else, return it to whom you purchased it from.

  • Having trouble with iPhone 5 camera shutter not opening

    Any ideas what I can try. Sometimes it works and other time the shutter locks up.

    Hello Wildcat74
    There are some steps to try out that I have highlighted for you in the article below for iPhone hardware troubleshooting.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera is not functioning
    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 tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-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. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop 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.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    -Norm G.

  • IPhone 3G *Camera Shutter Not Opening* Possible Solution?

    Curious...
    Does anyone know if you were to take out the old camera and install a new replacement camera, would that fix that shutter problem? Would the shutter re-open again???
    or would the problem still exist??
    Would apprciate a response or answer to this. Thank you in advance!
    Note I know there was already a forum on this question, but I haven't seen anyone suggest this possible solution. And NO I do not have warranty. So I cannot get this iPhone replaced.

  • Camera shutter not opening on iPhone 4s

    I've had my iPhone 4s for about two months. It had been working perfectly.
    After a recent drop that required the front glass to be replaced, my cameras are no longer working properly. The shutter for the rear camera will not open at all. The front camera will only work through a third party app called "AutoShutter" that was recommended to me. The phone is still working perfectly, otherwise.
    Is this reversable? Can I get my 4s cameras working again? I've tried the following:
    1) Soft reset with home/power buttons
    2) Downloading other software apps to run the camera
    3) Deleting all photos in my phone
    4) Full reset of the phone to factory settings
    Your recommendations are much appreciated. I'm waiting with baited breath in hopes that this is not permanent! I did not get the warranty or insurance. Thanks!

    i have the same problem, took it to apple store they said is a hardware problem, how could be possible if it WAS WORKING PERFECT BEFORE, very frustrated with them.. i've tried EVERYTHING in the world.. restarted factory settings recovery mode etc etc etc. nothing worked for me. and i forgot.. the phone never turns off just reboot and the sound goes off and comes on whenever it wants....

    Hello, I IPAD3 to upgrade 6.0 system, rear camera can not open up, open the camera stuck in the rotating screen

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

  • IPhone 4: Is there a solution for the front camera shutter not opening?`

    I have had this problem for the last few weeks,
    the rear camera works fine, but when i select the front camera the shutter remains closed and never opens.
    if i open the front camera frst, the rear doesnt open till i restart it
    i have restored, set up as new iphone and updated the sftware, but the front camera shutter doesnt open and remains closed, i have read online of others having this problem and some suggest changing the camera, which i got someone to do, yet the same fault remains,
    is this a software fault which will be resolved in future updates or does anyomne know how to fix this?
    there is no water damage or knocks , but the phone ios out of warranty,
    many thanks

    I don't think there's anything more you can do.  No way to know if a future update will help but I'm guessing you have a hardware problem that an update won't cure.

  • HT201401 Camera shutter not opening for back camera. Front works

    Rear camera shutter does not open.  Front camera does open and can use. Ive reset restored wiped phone tried hard resets and other things from web but nothing works. Any suggestions?

    Could you give me an idea of how much could it costs?
    A) If the problem is in the camera.
    B) If the problem is in the iPhone's card.
    Thank's.

  • Iphone camera shutter not opening...not sure if software or hardware issue.

    Hey everyone,
    So I've had my iphone 4 for about 3 months now. It was working perfectly until last week. The camera shutter will not open for some reason. I can't use the front face or the regular camera. This also does not allow me to facetime. I would turn off the iphone, cancel all the apps, and SOMETIMES it would work, but now it just doesn't. Now the weird thing is that when I downloaded third party camera apps from the apple store, my regular camera was working, but my front face camera was not. Also facebook allows me to snap photos, but not front face photos....
    I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue, only because my iphone was working perfect for months before this problem occurred. Should I restore it?
    I've had such terrible luck with iphones, if i can't do anything about it and Apple has to replace it, this is the second time i'm going to have to replace the phone since getting the iphone in april.
    PLEASE HELP!

    A simple search via the forums here or google would have revealed a multitude of posts about this issue, basic troubleshooting, and possible resolutions.

  • Iphone camera shutter not opening.. I tried restart and resetting to the factory settings.. It didn't work..What should I do?

    Restore your phone as a new device, not from backup.  If that fails, then you need to bring your phone in.

  • The "shutter" on my iPhone 4 camera will not open, and the still/video selector repeatedly flashes back and forth. Taking pictures through the messaging interface still works. Help?

    I have tried restarting and restoring. It appears to be a software issue b/c of the availability of messaging pictures. Noticed the issue on Tuesday, with fairly infrequent camera usage.
    Any suggestions?

    Restoring as new seems to have worked. The camera is functional in both still and video modes.
    After restoring as new, I used the backup tool to replace all of my contacts and messages. The camera still worked. I am now reinstalling my apps.
    I will post again if reinstalling these causes the issue to resurface, but as of now the problem is solved. Many thanks.
