IOS 6 and Camera Flash on 4S Problem

I just noticed that my flash doesn't come on anymore to focus the picture in low light situations. When you take the picture the flash works fine. However, the picture is blurring because it is too dark for the camera to focus before snapping the picture. I may be wrong but I remember that in iOS 5 you would tap the screen to focus and if it was too dark the light would come on so you could focus the picture, then go off and flash bright when you snap the photo. I've tried both the auto and the on settings with no luck.
Has anyone else noticed this?

I had the same problem.  iPhone 4, upgraded to iOS 6 and the flash option and the camera (front/back) selector missing from the GUI.  I restarted my phone as suggested and voila, all is better now.

  • HDR and camera flash missing after iOS 4.2 install

    My cameras flash options and HDR options have been removed after upgrading to the new iOS 4.2 today. Has this happened to anyone else? How do i downgrade back to the previous OS?

    HDR mode does disappear when you're in Video mode but not flash option. Is the button to switch cameras there at least? I'd either force quit the app (app switcher then hold finger down on Camera app although you can't be in the Camera app to kill it...then hit the X) or reboot the device and see if it persists.

    Yes I'm having the same problems. Taking pictures, then only seeing faint squares on the camera roll, with not pictures. When trying to raise photo, camera goes back to setting. This is my 4th Iphone, first one I purchased, took 100 pictures and downloaded them on a Dell Laptop, then faint squares on Camera roll showed up, taking it back to an Apple store in Louisville, Ky, getting a new phone, doing the same thing to a second party, another 100 photos, downloaded them, and again no pics, just empty squares, then I sent it to Apple, got a loaner service phone, and loaner phone wouldn't take pictures either, got a brand new phone from Apple service, invoice saying "replaced with new unit", and it again would not take pictures. 4 phones, and two service phones, and the last one a brand new phone from Apple service direct to my ole Indiana home, and still it doens't take and then store pictures, does just what the other phones have done, nothing different, still doesn't work, still doesn't take pictures, still not I wanted, and I'm going to keep trying. Let me hear from any one who has the same problem, or anyone who might have an answer, Joe

  • Safari 6.0.2 and adobe flash player update problem

    I am having problems installing the current version of adobe flash player.  Whenever I try and view a video from a site that requires it (eg. youtube, etc.), it says I need to update adobe flash player and sends me to a link to do so.  I've installed flash player "successfully" several times, deinstalled it and reinstalled it, re-downloaded it, but I'm always getting the message to update flash player.  Can anyone help with some suggestions to get this working corectly?
    I am running osx 10.8.2 and safari 6.0.2.
    Thanks very much.  Ron

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • IPhone 4s glitches, is cracked, and camera flash doesn't work. What is the cost to exchange for a new one?

    Front screen of my iPhone 4s is cracked, it freezes/lags, camera flash doesn't work, and every time you press a bit harder on the front screen red and grey vertical lines appear. I have had it for more than a year now, so how much will it cost for me to replace it?

  • Security issue with new version IOS and camera on front screen?

    Is it only my phone or is this a potential security bug?
    With the latest version of IOS, if the phone is locked, and the camera is selected from the front screen, by escaping from the camera you bypass the need to input a password.

    Although a good idea, requiring passcode doesn't have to be set as "immediately" for this purpose.  As long as the passcode is required and is now set (regardless of the interval), it will be required to enter the phone even when using the camera from the lock screen. 
    The OP made the mistake of trying this out at a time when the phone was not passcode locked at all and could have been unlocked without using the camera.

  • Installed new iOS and camera won't work

    I have been successfully using my iphone5 camera for over a year.  After downloading iOS 7.0.4 about 2 weeks ago, my iphone5 camera is useless.  When I select 'camera', my screen comes up either totally black or, other times, it shows an indistinguishable blurry image that is frozen on the screen.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem.  The phone's camera was working perfectly before this new iOS was installed.

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • PSE & and Camera Raw 5.5 problem

    I shoot a Canon 5D Mark ii in Canon Raw.  I have Windows Vista operating system, I have PhotoShop Elements 7.0 (all updates installed).
    I can't get PSE 7 to open my Raw files.  I downloaded and installed the plug http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407344.html for Windows.
    Am I trying to what can't be done?  Is PSE incapable of reading canon raw files?

    I unzipped the files and ran them according to the instructions.  The plug opened up PSE during the installation. (if that matters?)
    That isn't clear. The following instructions on the download page have to be followed precisely or the plug-in won't work.
    Extract the Camera Raw.8bi file from the ZIP file you downloaded. (Extract only the Camera Raw.8bi file that is at the top level of the ZIP file. Do not extract the Camera Raw.8bi file from the Win64 folder that is inside the ZIP file. This folder contains the 64-bit edition of the Camera Raw plug-in, which is compatible only with the 64-bit edition of Photoshop CS4.)
    Do one of the following:
    If you are using a 32-bit edition of Windows, then move Camera Raw.8bi into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats. If you are prompted to overwrite the existing plug-in file, then click Yes or Overwrite.
    If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move Camera Raw.8bi into C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats. If you are prompted to overwrite the existing plug-in file, then click Yes or Overwrite

  • I just down/up loaded the new IOS and have been have major PROBLEMS

    So I just downloaded IOS-the new one last night. And loved the new layout instantly. One thing that Wont work and has been really bugging me-is the fact that this new update *****! See when I downloaded some more purchased songs that I had had to delete to get this 2.3 GB thing(REALLY?!) I then went back to reldownload them and iTunes kept shutting down. Then I went to apple store to get new apps I searched something and that made it shut down. Then I tried the genius thing that made it shut down also and when I went back on it wouldn't let me create one only learn more. I have shut my iPod on then off then on again. Nothing I need help!

  • Wavy lines and camera flashes cause lines across screen??  Nvr happend b4

    Hi, please bare with me. I have been editing videos now for about a year but pretty much have taught myself how to do so so I am sure there is plenty to learn. Every wedding video I have done in the past year has been fine. All of sudden with the past two videos, anytime there is movement in the video; the edges are all wavy. For example, if the groom moves his arm, his sleeves will be all wavy on the edges. As far as settings go for exporting, I can tell you what I am using but I can't tell you the reason. Again, I have taught myself and probably just used whatever worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Did you change anything in your production environment/workflow?
    May be a new AVCHD camera? If so, search with "rolling shuter" keywords in this forum.
