I have a white haze over photos when taking a picture with my flash
I have a white haze over photos when taking a picture with my flash. What can I do to fix it?
After the ios7 update, my wife's phone began having these same issues and we assumed it was a flaw with the update.
But after some trial and error, we concluded it was the illumination of the white plastic backing of the iPhone 4. We tried a different protective case, we blackened the apeture of the black case with a black sharpie, none of those things worked.
It was noted that the white and blurry photos only occurred with a case installed. Without a case, the photos were perfect. It is a *** issue.
Since we were using a case and appearance was not that big of an issue, I decided to apply a strip of black electrical tape with holes punched out for the camera and flash mechanisms and reapplied the protective case. This tacky fix solved 95% of the white blurry look to the flash photos.
So a work-around is to apply a non-transparent piece of tape, or sticker with appropiate sized holes for the camera lens and flash LED on the back of the white plastic phone case. It's tacky, it's a poor design from apple, but it works.

When taking a picture with home button and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar??
When taking a picture with home and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar?? (the search bars)
No, but you can use any picture editing tool to crop out the bars. (Many are free in the App Store.) Me personally, I use PhotoPad, which I use to crop as well as rotate the screen shot. Takes less than a minute to do both with PhotoPad.

When taking a picture with IPad. Camera my recipients always receive the photo upside down. WHY?
When taking a photo with my IPad, then sending it, my recipients always the phot upside down. WHY? Help Please.
I think that this is a philosophical question. I, for one, hold my iPad in landscape mode with the Home button on the right-hand side and in portrait mode the Home button is on the bottom.
Anyway, you're welcome! -
Bug Report - WebOS 1.3.1 - Photos - Deletes old photos when taking new ones
Hello. I just noticed that when taking new pictures with me Pre (on WebOS 1.3.1), the numbering has reset, starting at CIMG0001 and when I take new pics, the old pics designated as CIMG0001, CIMG0002, CIMG003, etc. are being deleted and replaced with these new pics. I currently have 164 pics in my photo roll and notice that when I take a new picture, the number of pics stays at 164 (instead of adding a new pic and making the new total 164). I just noticed this bug yesterday, but I upgraded to WebOS1.3.1 last weekend. I read another posting at everythingpre.com with possibly the same issue:
30 photo max: WebOS 1.3.1 Bug
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

View Solution.Yes!
I just joined looking for someone with my same issue... Once I hit 30 photos, it starts randomly deleting my old pics... I just got the phone a week ago and updated it to the new firmware right away, so I donno if it's firmware related or what, but is there a fix? -
I have recently purchased an Iphone 4s white 16GB. When camera is used with a flash the picture is white and hazzy. Anyone with the same problem?
Yep. Exchanged for black and that solved it. Too much light leaks through the glass on the white phone.

CK71 suddenly hang when taking a picture using the camera
Hi team, The customer is using the CK71 with camera option.
OS is. 1.61.22.72.
Our partner developed the camera application based on Intermec source file according to the IDL(Multimedia Resource Kit).
Regarding the source that the partner tested, I attached the zip file including the DotNetCF 3.5.
Also, I attached the CNxDShow.CAB that we have to install first for operating the camera. The symptom is... when taking the picture again and again in light environment and in dark environment by turns, suddenly CN70 hang. For restoring, we should remove the battery and install it again for rebooting.
But, the customer hates the removing and reinstalling the battery. To reproduce the symptom....
1. Copy all file under the folder "\FullSreenCameraCNx\FullSreenCameraCNx\bin\Debug" and paste them into the device.
2. Copy the CNxDShow.CAB and paste into the device.
3. Install the CNxDShow.CAB first
4. Create new folder "\My Documents\My Pictures" on the device, if the device doesn't have the name of the folder
5. Execute the FullScreenCameraCNx.exe on the device by clicking
6. Try taking a picture by pushing the enter key in light/dark environment by turns again and againIn our trouble shooting,
The application put the log file when taking a picture.
the location of the log is under the folder "Flash File Store\Log\Device_Conncet".
Normal log is...

2015-06-30 5:5:35 Camera Shot E
===================================Please see the logfile in the 20150630.txt that I attached additionally.
The thing that we are feeling that it was strange is....
in the source, if invoked "Cam.Snapshot(CurrentResolution)", "Cam_SnapshotEvent" should be called. But, when we experienced the "Device Hang" during taking the pictures, I guess that "Cam_SnapshotEvent" were not called. I copied and pasted the some part of source that I want to highlight like the below.
============================================================//---------------------------------------------------
// make snapshot
bool AcceptingEnter = true; //for eliminating repeating enter keydown events...
void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
if (e.KeyData == Keys.Enter && AcceptingEnter == true)
AcceptingEnter = false;
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Camera Shot S");
Cam.Snapshot(CurrentResolution);
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Camera Shot E");
e.Handled = true;
// Received snapshot event
void Cam_SnapshotEvent(object sender, Camera.SnapshotArgs sna)
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Start");
if (sna.Status != Camera.SnapshotStatus.Ok)
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Snapshot failed");
MessageBox.Show("Snapshot failed");
else
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Shot Result : " + sna.Status + " : " + sna.Filename);
============================================================ Can anyone provide the information or solution why the CK71 suddenly hang and how to avoid the "device hang"? Best Regards,
Kim, Hyun WookHello
you opened a case at our support portal. That is the right way to get support for such very specific issues.
Thanks

When I try and click pics in low light with my iphone 4s, the quality is really poor with a white haze on all the pics. The iphone 4 had a similar problem and I upgraded thinking they may have fixed this. We tried taking some pics on NY's eve with the iphone but the result was really poor. Switched to my wife's blackberry and got amazing results. So I guess its a software related issue. If blackberry cameras can give such amazing pics with a flash why cant iphones? Apple please fix.
@Holman - I only have a bumper on my phone, no screen protector or plastic cover but thanks for stating the obvious.
@Dave - Posting some pics here which show the white haze when taking pics in low light using flash. I know numerous other iphone 4/4S owners who have the same complaint and also the forum is full of people having similar queries so I guess mine is not a one off case.
As you can see there is a white haze in both these pics and every other pic I take in low light. Using this phone's camera in a nightclub is almost embarassing when blackberry users see the results. -
Only white square box appear when taking photo using camera
Hi,
Anybody who can help me. When I take photo, all that appears in photo roll is just empty square box and cannot even save any taken photos.
Please helpHey,
If you can't see the photos when you tap them, there may be a case or protective film covering the iPhones camera. Try testing after removing any 3rd-party accessories.
If the issue persists after removing the case try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
You can reset the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.
