IPhone 4s blurry camera

After I did an upgrade, my back camera is all blurry now. The Front one used for Face Time is crystal clear but my normal camera I use all the time is blurry.... can I get it back to normal?

Hello heathert2484
Check out the Camera section in the iPhone Hardware Troubleshooting article below. You may also want to try to restore your iPhone and test to see if it is software that is causing the issue.

  • 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.

  • How to fix iPhone 5 blurry camera with no warranty?

    The rear camera is blurry and won't focus. I took it to the apple store and they said there was nothing they can do except pay to replace it. I do not want to pay to replace it. It is over warranty but I've only had it for about a year and a half. This is really really annoying especially because I use the rear camera on a daily basis. I see that there are many forums about this and apple has so far done nothing to fix this. I tried the slapping method and it didn't work. I tried to restore it and no luck. Please help :(

    Apple have told you the answer needs a replacement and that is $269 in US

  • My iphone 4 rear camera is blurry and i do not know why.

    my iphone 4 rear camera is blurry and i do not know why. i tried to turn it off and on and it still is the same. It is blurry with the flash on/off and even on HDR mode. PLEASE HELP!!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open

    After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open so I cannot use the camera at all.
    I have tried most things suggested in the web like hard/soft shut down, reopen app, restore from backup. Any other suggestions? It should be a software problem right?

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.

  • Our Iphone 4S is full of pictures which transferred to my Ipad through Icloud.  Everytime I delete pictures on my iphone it deletes the pictures on my ipad.  We are using my iphone as a camera.  We are in Croatia and it is hard to find someone to answer

    We are in Croatia and are having trouble getting help for our problem.  We have an Ipad and an Iphone 4S.  I have been using the Iphone as a camera.  The icloud has been transferring pictures to the ipad.  Now, my iphone is full of pictures (180) and if I delete a picture, it disappears from my ipad as well.  We need some advice as to how we can save the pictures in the ipad - maybe to another file?  And then be able to delete the pictures from my Iphone without deleting them from the Ipad.  Or, if that is impossible.  What accessories should I look for so that I can download pictures on a device, then delete my pictures from the iphone and start all over again.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks from 2 very confused people.

    Hi croatia2014,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you have photos in your Photo Stream that you want to save to your iPad, you can save them to your Camera Roll using this method:
    Manage My Photo Stream contents. In the My Photo Stream album, tap Select.
    Share, print, copy, or save photos to your Camera Roll album:  Select the photos, then tap .
    You can find these steps in the iOS 7 user guide here:
    My Photo Stream
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iphbfeb468fc
    You may also find this advice useful:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.

    No one here can help you. If your phone is no longer under warranty, a third-party repair shop will most likely be your best bet. You can't mail the phone to Apple, in the US, as Apple does not accept international shipments. You could mail it to a friend/relative, in the US, & they could take it to an Apple store for you. Some Apple stores repair iPhones. Otherwise, you're looking at an out of warranty replacement.
    Good luck.

  • Iphone 4S - Windows Vista - 64 Bit (and photoshop elements 9.0) is not recognizing my iphone as a camera - therefore I cannot download pictures from my iphone. iTunes works fine with the iPhone, but I do not see it in "My Computer" when connected via USB

  • Windows XP can no longer "see" my iPhone as a camera/imaging device

    can't sync photos from iPhone to computer; Windows XP doesn't even see it as a camera or imaging device. Weird, since iTunes is able to synch music/contacts.
    No matter how I check, Windows XP can't find the device:
    control panel --> scanners and cameras - nothing!
    My Computer --> devices with removable storage - no iPhone
    Computer Management--> Device Manager - no iPhone or scanner/camera

    UPDATE - I think I've resolved my problem and that it is related to having my iPhone "passcode locked".
    1. I connected it and unlocked the iPhone, synced music, but had the problems I noted in my original discussion post
    2. I disconnected the iPhone, closed iTunes, reopened iTunes and reconnected the iPhone (making sure it was NOT passcode locked before connecting it) -- everything works fine.
    3. now I can get back to my original issue, was to figure out how to get only my NEW iPhone captured photos to synch, or at least have them date ordered. But that's a subject for another post.
    BOTTOM LINE - passcode lock may be the key for those who are having problems with their PC not able to see the iPhone as a camera/imaging device

    I just sent a test message to someone I just met from my iPhone to her iPhone and it came through from my email address instead of my phone number. This seems very strange. Anyone know why this might happen? It seems like a potentially big privacy problem.

  • Doe anyone have a rough cost of replacing a iPhone 4 back camera / cleaning

    Hi,
    I have an Apple Store nearby but its a bit more than 'around the corner', so I thought it was worht asking here.
    When I take photos with my iPhone's rear camera, the photos turn out with not much clarity and when the flash is on they turn out bleached. I think the issue might be with some dust being under the lens or the lens being too scratched to produce good photos.
    Does anyone know how much it would cost me to take it in to an Apple Store?
    How much would it cost in total?
    Thanks so much!

  • Why is it when using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes turn black or have blue stripes on it? What's wrong with it and what should I do?

    When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it? Thank you so much for your concern.

    thank you for your reply
    I brought it to the store and they agreed to give me an exchange. thank goodness!
    I have a new question: I've now transferred my back up datas to my new iphone. They wanted me to register, so I registered (as my old apple ID) and then they asked if I want to restore backup, I did that too. after the restore back up process, the only things that aren't there were my music and apps! what should I do to get them into my new iPhone?

  • IPhone 4s back camera not working even after buying new iphone 4s

    Back when the ios 6 updates were coming out  in 2013 my iPhone 4 back camera stopped working, after trying way too many ways to reset the phone  and  finding others with this same issue I decided to start over I bought a new iPhone 4s so this one was better and 32gb instead of 16gb and it was 9 days later the back camera stopped working on my NEW iphone and still doesn't work to this day? What on earth should I do? How can this be fixed? I've tried hard reset, backing up the new phone, all the tricks I've tried on both phones do not work!!

    A new phone has a warranty.  So take it to an Apple store.  If they can't fix it, they will replace the phone.  Or do you mean: it stopped working after 9 days, but then you waited until the warranty ran out and then ask us?

  • My pc thinks my iphone is a camera

    everytime i plug in my iphone is says camera connected and wants to know what program i want to use, how to i correct this?

    Unless you've got iTunes connected, this is the only way your pc can interact with the phone is the camera function. You can download files this way but not delete them, if I recall correctly. What you could maybe do is select the option to just Open a regular windows explorer folder, and check the box that says perform this function each time. This may be a way to make the popup not so disruptive
