IPhone 4s camera issue, extra grid line - please help!

Hi everyone,
I have a lovely new 4s, have had it for less than 24 hours and there is a problem with the camera that I cannot find anywhere else on the web yet... I have an extra grid line that does not disappear and which does show up on the photos I take!
Details: the grid line is on the main rear facing camera only; it is there whether the grid is turned on or off; it appears as a grid line on the photos you take; the camera is up-to-date with the latest version; I have tried restarting the phone; it only happened after I switched to HDR mode and then when I turned HDR off, this mysterious extra grid line was there; the line is only there in photo mode - it disappears when switched to video mode...
and I think that's those are all the details I can give you!
Is anyone experiencing / experienced this same problem? If so, please help!! Thank you so much!
Thanks everyone, and Happy Holidays to all!

Hi KiltedTim. Thanks, yes, I will definitely have to do this if I can't get rid of it - just so annoying, because won't be able to go for a while, until after the Christmas holidays, which means I'll be without my cool iPhone camera!
Also - the one thing I forgot to mention in my original post is that I took several photos which all came out perfectly. The issue only happened after the first time I switched HDR mode on and then turned it back off.
Thanks for your help,
Any more suggestions out there anyone? Thanks all!

  • IPhone 5 camera issue.... NEED HELP please

    I just got this iPhone 5 camera issue. I was taking pictures (around 20 pictures), suddenly the camera only focused downward (to the ground). Even I raised the iphone higher and focused to the head of person that stood in front of me, but the camera still took the pictures of that person's hip and legs. Every pictures that I took were focusing downward.
    I tried it today the second time. After I continously took 40 pictures, this problem started again.
    Should I get a replacement? IS it a ios6 or phone problem?
    Actually, after I restarted the phone, this problem was gone. But I just want to make sure that this problem will not come again after 1year warrantee.

    when your r on your camera app, press and hold the sleep/wake button and after 4 secs you'll see the red slide of power off option. without sliding that, just press and hold the home button until the camera app quits. This will reset the app.
    If this doesnt work, go to your comp and delete the softwareupdate.ipsw file from itunes media folder (if you've previoulsy updated or restored) and do a restore. this will download a new update file from apple server that will be error free.

    Have not seen this issue, but keep an eye on it so to not miss the warranty period. If it does it again, take it to apple and get a replacement.

    I noticed while camera app turns ON the phone going to hand.
    I went to apple services server with this problem & they said they didn't see any errors.

    Thannks & regards,

    That often happens with cameras when you take pictures of a computer screen. LCD screens "flicker" and the camera will often catch the flicker.

    Hi teejayfs,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed unexpected behavior with your iPhone camera, start with these steps to isolate or resolve the issue:
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • I want to downgrade my 2011 mac mini server to mac os x, i want to downgrade my 2011 mac mini server to mac os x i have the disks but the mini willl not reboot the apple changing to a circle with a line please help-

    i want to downgrade my 2011 mac mini server to mac os x i have the disks but the mini willl not reboot the apple changing to a circle with a line please help-

    bpruse,  I may be completely off-track for your issue, but I had a similar situation where I wanted to downgrade a Mac Pro from Server to plain OS X and it would not boot from the OS X install disk.
    I was attempting to use a full-install OS X.6.x disc with an earlier SL version than that which originally came installed on the Mac Pro.  After two or three hours of fiddling, I figured it out and used the discs that came with the system.
    However, I don't know how that would work in your case if this is the mini server-version.  I'm sure the disks would only have Server on them.  Worse-case scenario, find out which X.6.x the OEM disc is installing and get an OS X disc with a new installer.
    HTH.

  • All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?

    All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
    With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.

    Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
    Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
    I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
    Cheers!
