Inside of camera lens dirty

Does the apple story clean the inside of the sapphire lens on the iphone 5 rear camera? Also, it seems like theres a loose piece on my front camera, almost like a cresent moon shape that is close to covering that camera. Laslty, you can hear a faint noise when shaking the phone, like something's broken or loose on the inside (both my parent's phones dont make the same noise...
Any ideas??

The dust is not in any case, it's on the inside of the sapphire lens of the phone itself... Will the apple store fix this?

  • Dust inside back camera lens

    Just noticed two specs of dust inside my wife's iPhone 4, she bought it in July 2010.
    The cut the long story short, photo's from that phone always looked "soft" (like the lens was dirty) when compared to the photos from my iPhone 4.
    Yesterday, however, I had to take some indoors pictures with my wife's phone as mine was out of available storage. Most of the photos and videos looked rubbish: huge halos around light sources, grain, weird colours, very soft (inferior even compared to a friend's 3GS). So I knew something was wrong, and then I noticed two specs of dust inside the camera lens, right in the middle. The phone is otherwise immaculate apart from a tiny screen scratch. I guess the dust was there from day 1, as photos never looked right.
    Is this supposed to happen over time? Is the lens unit sealed? Is Apple likely to fix it under warranty (the phone is 8 months old)?
    Cheers,

    The phone comes with a one-year warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple store. If your phone is deemed defective, it will be replaced on the spot.

  • 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.

  • Is there dust inside camera lens of iPhone 5?

    I bought my new iPhone 5 on 28th of September from a local Telco.
    Today I noticed inside the camera lens there is dust.
    I'm very disappointed

    I'm seeing the same thing on my iPhone 5. I just noticed it today so I don't know how long it's been there (got mine on launch day). Here are some photots I took with my iPad (only other camera I had). I have not noticed anything on any of the photos I've taken with the iPhone but, then again, I haven't done any extensive testing either.
    Not sure what I'll do about it (closest Apple Store is 2 hours away and, again, haven't noticed anything on the photos I've taken).

  • Nokia n95 8gb moisture in camera lens - HELP

    Hi, I have Nokia n95 8gb and while have been in a shower I have left it in the bathroom and now my lenses are moistured/water from inside of camera/lens. How can I fix/dry this?
    PLEASEEE HELP ME.

    Many people take the phone into the bathroom whilst taking a bath or shower not realising this actually harms your phone!
    Steam has entered the phone and turned to condensation and this is never good for an electrical product.
    This will probably cause you many problems sooner or later, but for now remove the battery as having the battery in the phone whilst it is still wet is damaging your phone with current from the battery surging through all those components joint together inside with water.
    Then put the phone in a warm dry place, where you have your boiler for your home as an example, and leave it there for a few days.
    This should dry out any liquid there is inside the phone but only time will tell of the amount of damage has occured.
    My posts are my opinion and in no way the direct views of Nokia.
    If my posts are helpful, please give me some KUDOS using the green star on the left.

  • Large dust particle inside my iPhone 5 camera lens

    I have a couple of large dust particles inside my iPhone 5 camera lens. How do I get rid of them?

    If it's actually inside the lens, you can't.  Bring your phone while it''s still under warranty to Apple for evaluation.

  • Fix for dust inside camera lens

    My camera lens continues to accrue dust on the inside of the phone. This is an obvious design flaw of the phone as this is likely coming in through the back microphone hole.
    I have read multiple posts on this issue and seen instructions on how to clean it off. What I am hoping is that there is a fix to seal the lens area so once it is cleaned, no further dust can enter. I would also like to keep the microphone active so noise cancellation continues to work as intended.

  • Dirt trapped inside camera lens

    Hi, I noticed a small speck of dirt on my N95 camera lens which cannot be wiped off. I looked at the lens under a 40X microscope and discovered that the dirt is trapped inside the glass cover. No wonder it cannot be wiped off! Not only that, I can see many specks of fine size dirt inside as well which are not visible to the **bleep** eye. My question is how whether it is advisable to get the speck of dirt (visible by **bleep** eye) removed. Can the Nokia service people do it easily? Or is it better to leave it inside. Is this a common problem seen? Thanks!
    Don

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Iphone 5s camera lens rattle

    hello my friends
    My problem is when I shake the iPhone's voice coming from inside.
    Even when I kept all the buttons
    I feel this is the sound of the camera lens
    Even when the vibration noise is heard
    Is there a problem for everyone?
    I am an obsessive person

    when i shake mine i hear it as well but my power button is really loose and i think thats what it is not the camera lens

  • Dirt under my iPhone 5 camera lens

    Recently, I found tiny specks of dirt under my back camera lens. Eventhough, it is not a problem to the camera at the moment due to the focus. I think that in the long run it will eventually appear visually visible on my pictures taken with my iPhone 5. Therefore, can anyone tell me how to fix it. Also, It seems that there is an opening somewhere that the dirt got into, so I wonder if apple will replace it cause I think that it's likely to be a defect.

    They will fix it most likely for free. Technically dirt cannot get inside unless it was during the manufacturing process. Take it to the nearest store but call them first to set up an appt.

  • Hi everyone,have you noticed that there is kind of green light inside the camera even if the camera turns off? It it normal? Thanks!

    Hi everyone,have you noticed that there is kind of green light inside the camera even if the camera turns off? It it normal? Thanks!

    I assume you mean green reflection from the camera?
    thats the AR coating on the lens.

  • 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$:

    Based on your iPhone's camera lens being cracked, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced.
