IOS6 / iPhone5 camera flash bad timing

Hi,
I'm finding that when using the camera in the dark with the flash turned on that the timing for the flash vs when the picture is taken is off, the flash flashes, but appears to finish its flash right before the picture is taken, leaving me with a mainly dark picture.

I too had this problem. I called apple and they have bad this problem sometimes not just with the iPhone 5 at first bu when the 4s came out also. This is what worked for me....go into settings general reset and choose reset all settings. Then restore your iphone from back up. Just make sure u sync your phone and right click on it in iTunes and select back up. Once my phone restored from back up it fixes whatever firmware issue there was with the flash timing relay or whatever the apple guy called it. Hope this works. Pretty easy fix took less than 10 mins total.

  • IPhone 5 Camera Flash mis-timed

    Hi,
    I have been testing my camera (playing) and the camera flash seems to be mis-timed.
    When taking a picture, the flash 'flashes' like normal but when the picture is actually taken the flash has already 'flashed'
    I don't suppose anyone has any thoughts on this?
    Thanks

    Not sure if this is the same issue but my iphone 5 kept taking really blurry/smoky looking photos when the flash was used. It turns out it was because I hadn't taken the clear protective film off the back of the phone so the flash was blurring on the film!! Hope this helps

  • Camera   flash = bad photo

    i never had an iPhone 4. went from 3GS (no flash) to 4S (flash) and photos are no good when i use the flash. there's a weird "rainbow" effect on the photos when the flash is used.
    i can't imagine i'm the only one, but there don't seem to be any complaints about it...
    anyone else? is this a common issue?
    (fyi - bare phone, no case, no "plastic" backing. my finger's not in the way, threre are no mirrors or shiny surfaces in the area...)

    if anyone else experiences this, turns out the problem was the little ring between the case and the lens was loose. took it to an apple store and they reseated it. 3 months on and no more problems.

  • When camera Flashes it looks bad

    Hi there,
    I am trying to export a making off from a photo session and when the flash of the camera flashes it shows a lot of horizontal white lines and sometimes a green area.
    What compressions settings should I use in Compressor to avoid this?
    its an HDV video and I was exporting with DVD 90 best
    thanks
    Javier

    The encoder in Compressor can only handle a certain range of pixel values when transcoding form one codec to another. Now you know what the limit is for your particular settings. You must remove the out of range pixels before you get to Compressor or you must learn how to use manual keyframes in Compressor to alter settings on the fly. Not recommended. but there is a thorough explanation in the manual.

  • How to Eliminate Camera Flash Reflection in Photograph?

    I"m using PSE 6.0.  In neither of the two instruction manuals that I use do they specifically address how to eliminate a camera flash reflection in the photo.  I'm sure there is a way to do it in PSE6.0, but I don't know where to look.  Can someone direct me?
    Thanks.

    Larry,
    There is no information in the area of the flash reflection - it is completely blown out. The clone stamp tool will not yield a satisfactory result, as the details in the adjacent map area lack contrast, especially in this low resolution file.
    I experimented a bit -
    I sampled the brown color next to the flash with the eye dropper tool
    Created a new, blank layer at the top of the stack
    Accessed the brush tool, selected the "Dry Media Brushes" library, used brush #60 (Soft Pastel Large) set at 25% opacity, then on the blank layer painted over area of flash. That does not look too bad, but it lacks the detail of the map
    Perhaps you can print this, fill in the map by hand, then scan same.
    Someone else may come along with another suggestion.

  • Iphone 4s camera flash stuck on

    camera flash is stuck on

    Unfortunately I had to buy a new one...took it to the apple store and paid $200 for a replacement...not wonderful, but not bad considering it is a 64g.  They looked in it and saw that it came in contact with water, which is highly plausible with my three year old. 

  • Camera flashes become banding once imported into AE

    Hello all, I'm working with footage that was shot in a club environment with camera flashes going off and once I exported said footage from Avid Xpress Pro (as QT mov with Animation setting) and import it into AE7 the camera flashes turn into visible bands of light that look really bad.  I've interperted the footage correctly (D1 720x486 29.97, lower field first) so I'm at a loss as to what is causing this.  I tried a levels adjustment to bring down the luminance but nothing changed.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jason Coté

    Could you export a faulting frame from AE, and the very same frame from Avid and post them here ?
    If you read the file from QT, do you have the banding issue ?
    If you open the QT file in Avid, do you have the banding too ?
    I guess this problem could come from the conversion to QT animation, but i'm not sure.

  • Is there a way to use an off camera flash or remote flashes on a Rebel T5? (This is not a T5I)

    I have a Rebel T5 I just bought a few months ago. I like it as it is a great entry into DSLR. I will be looking at upgrading in a few months. But in the meantime, I just bought a speedlight kit (not Canon) and it came with 2 speedlights and the remote trigger and 2 remote receivers. Is there a way to enable the camera to use off camera flash? i was able to put one of the flashes on as an extrenal flash but I have not been able to figure out how to enable off camera flash.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you Skirball. It did come with a trigger. I must not have had the correct settings. When I first got the set, I put the trigger on the camera and hooked the lights to the receivers and it did not work for me. I thought I needed a special setting. But I must have had the receivers set to camera instead of flash. Once I put it on today, it worked and triggered both flash units. Incase anyone else has this issue, the kit I bought from Amazon is the Altura 2 flash kit that came with 2 speedlghts, the trigger and 2 receivers. I paid $169 for it. But when I hooked them up today and had the receivers set to Flash, they both were triggered when I pressed the shutter button.
    Thank you again.

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Camera Flash and Focus Issues

    I have 2 issues with the Camera on my Note 3:
    1) The camera flash stops working on my Note 3 even when using another application like Flashlight. I need to turn off my phone and turn it back on for it to start working.
    2) The Camera takes a long time to take pictures and the pictures are often out of focus.
    Anyone else have these issues and know a solution?
