IPhone 4 blurry camera?

I have noticed that the reason my
Pictures are incredibly blurry is because of the plastic or glass protector
Being so scratched. Is this possible to fix just by removing the backplate?
If i go into the apple store (my phone is still under warranty) could they fix it?
This really bugs me because i take pics all the time but now its practically impossible to tell
What is in the pic...

I'm having similar issues with blurry images taken with the rear facing camera. I did some very unscientific tests with a friend of mine who also has an iPhone 4 and my photos definitely looked to be in soft focus compared to his. I will say though that it does seem erratic, I do occasionally get a sharp focused image. I am also wondering if I am expecting too much since I am used to images taken with my Nikon D90. But then again even the images taken with my 3G weren't as blurry.
I think I will try the software restore someone mentioned, can't hurt.

My pictures are good quality when I take them with my iPhone 4 camera bit when I send them via mms or post on Facebook they loose a lot of quality. How can I fix this problem?

When I take photos whit my IPhone 4 camera the pictures look great but recently when I send pictures to friends or try posting them on Facebook the photos loose their quality dramatically and the ones that I sent all look blurry and bad compared tothe original. Please somebody help! I always take pictures with my iPhone and send or post them and this problem is restricting me a lit. Thanks for your help :)

when I could open iPhoto the library had tripled... photos from years ago from my iPhone and iPhoto had somehow come back onto it (even though I deleted them), the "faces" files had turned into their own photos, photos tripled (some smaller versions some bigger), and loads of random clip art and images I had never seen was on it. There was over 40,000 photos. It was so weird
Nothing weird. That happens when you import one iPhoto Library into another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
As for deletions:
Drag the image from the Event to the iPhoto Trash. Empty it. Then Empty the System Trash. That removes it from the hard disk.
If that has failed in the past it was due to the Library being corrupted.

Iphone 6 camera lens has become opaque inside

I woke up this morning and my iphone 6 camera is discoloured on inside-opaque and white. When I try to take picture it doesn't show what im pointing the camera at, only a white blurry blobby image. It worked fine yesterday, and I haven't gotten the phone wet or placed it in anything wet in the last few days either. Over a week ago I accidentally put phone down on a table that had moisture on it from the condensation from someones cold glass. But camera has worked perfectly and has still had a clear image up until this morning..and if it was that, you'd think I'd have seen some evidence of moisture in the last week and a half.
>Does anyone know what may have caused this?
>Has anyone else had this problem?
>Can I get the camera fixed, or am I better off going to an apple and trying to get a replacement?
Hope someone can help!!

Good news! Took my phone into the apple store, none of the sensors showed any liquid damage (not even the one next to the camera area), so they gave me a new iphone 6!! They did say that it definitely looks like some sort of liquid though, and that I'm lucky as it is a new type of phone so new problems do pop up, but also in future apparently they wont be allowed to open the phones up-if it looks like liquid damage, then it'll get treated that way and the person will have to pay to fix it! So thankfully I got in before that starts. They couldn't tell me how only the lens got effected as the camera is completely sealed...so I'm not sure how to avoid it happening in the future :/ If they didn't replace the phone, I wouldn't have paid $399 for apple to fix it-my insurance with telstra means i'd pay $70 and telstra would send it away to get fixed.

Broken iPhone 5 camera..

My iPhone 5 camera one day began not to work. I haven't dropped it on anything hard and I take good care of my phone. Now my camera is blurry and will not focus. I have tried restoring it, taking off some apps and completely clearing my phone in case there was a bugged app. Nothing helped. My phone is only a year and 3 months old and now I have to pay $300 for either a new camera or an upgrade to an iPhone 5c/5s. Does anyone have any temporary solutions?

I am sorry to hear that.. good luck to you...

Iphone 4s Camera issue with 8.0.2

After upgrading to 8.0.2 on our iphone 4S camera does not work. When opening the camera app from the lock screen or after unlocking the phone the camera app sometimes comes on if on video if swiping to the still photo it then goes blurry. Other times it is just plain black. Tried other apps from the app store and none work. IOS 8 worked just fine. Anybody else having the same issue? Only other thing I guess is to do factory reset but really don't want to if other owners having same issue maybe Apple will send out a new update.
Thanks
Jeff

I opened my Camera App after the iOS 8.0.2 upgrade, the camera would not work at all (no image (just blurred black), no response on snap shot button), the Flash options, HDR option, Timer options at the top of screen were opening for selections to be made. None of the bottom options work at all ( filter effects, camera mode selections, snap shot button, shortcut to picture gallery). The front / back camera selector at top right does switch even though there is no image from either camera, you can tell it switches cause the top options go away when on front camera mode, also when I toggle between the front & back cameras 2 - 3 times, it locks up everything on screen that was working, leaving nothing be responsive at all. I was thinking why is this going on, surely my camera (both cameras) weren’t destroyed by the iOS 8 install, makes no since. Then I thought to look around in the apps on device, something that would access the camera without actually physically opening the camera app on device. I ran upon the Game Center App (pre-installed), there is an option there to add a photo to your Game Center ID, I clicked on that, and an option came up (select photo / take photo) I selected take photo, and There Was My Cameras, Working Great, Crystal Clear Image, front and back cameras working perfectly. So, that leads me to believe that it is Definitely an issue with the iOS 8 (a bug) that affects camera operation, at least on the 4S, better yet, my 4S. Apple Support has left me hangin as far as my issue goes. same goes with other issues I'm having as well.
( jpND01 ) try going into Game Center, and see if your camera has an image in that App. By no means is that a fix, it just lets you know that your cameras are working. There aren't any of the cool (New Camera App) features there, just snap a picture for Game Center Profile.
Note: I am a member of Game Center, the Add Photo to ID comes right up when you open the App, don't know if that option is there if a none member.

IPhone 4 camera issue: check it out!

I'm asking you, iPhone 4 users, if you can make a test of your camera.
I am substantially pleased by the iPhone 4 camera but after some days of use, viewing the images at 100% crop (1:1), I discovered a defect on all the shots.
At the far left side, next to border and top to bottom, the image is blurry, independently of the point of focus of the lens.
I post five shots of mine (original, not edited) so you can check out and compare:

Please let me know if this is happening to you too and is to be considered "normal" or if my iPhone camera lens got some problems and need to be swapped.
Thank you

I don't see anything, but I might be blind. If there's a bit of blurring on the edge, it's easy to crop.
The reason it might be blurry is because of how the iPhone takes a photo. You might think it's an instant capture of the whole scene, but it actually quickly captures the image from left to right. You might be seeing a small amount of jiggling as the image is captured. A real camera, using a CMOS image detector is much faster. A good digital camera can go up to ISO 6400 with 1/1000 speed (OK, only in very bright light).
This is why mobile phones (whether the iPhone or whatever) are just junk for taking real photos. You're trying to find perfection with a $20 part on the iPhone. If you want perfect photos, you need a $5000 Nikon D5 with $2000 lenses. But of course, a great camera is not the panacea for all photo issues or user incompetence.
I think your photos are nice, considering you're using a very limited iPhone camera. Crop it, and it'll look really good. Otherwise, your expectations are way too high for the iPhone camera.

IPhone 5 Camera no longer focusing

So my iPhone 5 back camera is no longer focusing. I tried everything, from restarting it to updating to iOS 6.0.2 but no luck. The front camera still works fine but the back camera does not focus at all and every picture is super blurry.
Does anyone know what might be wrong? Thanks.

Incredibly this worked for me too. For a few days my iPhone 5 camera has not been focusing correctly. After reading a few recommendations on this site, I dropped the phone a distance of about 4 inches on its back onto my desk (it has a bump case) and immediately the problem was fixed.

How do you delete more than one photo at a time on Iphone 3gs camera roll?

Can you use a webcam as an external iPhone 5 camera?

Reason I ask is because it would help me out at my job, and might be helpful to someone else.
I work a resident manager at a storage facility (live on site) and we have to mirror check units to make sure people aren't storing what they are not suppose to and sometimes I have pull out the bulky 8 foot ladder. Or to see if they move out of the unit and left their lock on the unit.
I was wondering if there was a camera/device you can plug into the lightning connector and use your iphone5 as a view finder like a borscope/endoscope.
Because the camera on the back if you reach over a storage unit you can not see the screen, and then if i flip it around to use the face camera i cant use the LED light... also taking a photo using the flash on the back camera does not get a clear picture at all
I don't have wifi in the building that I can use to do an IP camera.
I was looking at Bluetooth cameras like the "Contour" but its out of my price range.
Is there a way I can use a webcam as an external iPhone 5 camera? with an app?
I think if someone can invent this they could make some Big money
Is there any cheaper Bluetooth cameras out there so I can point the camera over the unit with one hand and use my iPhone 5 as a view finder in the other?

I have an external HDD that I use for backups once in a while, BUT to be honest with you I last backed up my iTunes stuff (around 30K songs) over a year ago. Maybe it is time for another backup.
In all fairness, the whole time I have been using Mac's (since 2001) I have never had a major crash (knock on wood) so it has not been high on my priority list tbh. This said, how Apple have been acting lately I feel they have become a little too big for them selves and I have started to notice errors here and there, something that was unheard of earlier
Anyway, in most cases it is never the HDD that causes problems and extracting data from these are not a major hinder so I'm good...
EDIT: Oh, maybe I misunderstood the question

Is there any way to get accurate framing using the iPhone 5 camera?

The iPhone 5 has a 16:9 screen, yet the photos are still produced in a 4:3 ratio. So what you see on the screen while framing the shot with the native camera app is not the same as the photo you end up with on your camera roll.
Is there any way to fix this? I want my photos to look exactly like how they appear on the screen before I hit the shutter.

I just realized this just now cause there is always some extra frame added when I review my pics on camera roll. This site might illustrate the problem further..
http://blog.crushapps.com/2012/09/with-the-iphone-5s-camera-app-what-you-see-is- not-what-you-get/
The only solution Ive found is to use an ap Like Camera Asesome or Kitcam App they do use a 4:3 framing and take pics of exactly what you see on screen..
However, I feel this is a design flaw by apple, you should be able to take a pic exactly to what you see on screen... I dont care if there is a black bar on top or in bottom(or both) on screen, rather than having an overscan of what your actually are saving on your phone. And its completely ridicoulous cause images appear with black bars when you review them on Camera Roll where the overscan would be nice (estetically wise , and a double click would reframe to what you actually took)
Hope this answers your question..

Looks like that's a "rweturn to store" fault I'm afraid.
Best bet is go through the restore as a new phone procedure, re-sync your files and see what happens but looks like a hardware fault.
Read the Restore procedure to make sure you understand what's involved
