IPhone 5 Camera Glitch

Although the issue is intermittent, I am experiencing this when using the back side camera. It doesn't happen on the front facing camera.
While using the camera app, or even 3rd party apps like instagram or camera+, the camera will turn purple and will hang after a while, then the camera app will restart.
Is this a hardware issue, should i return the phone? or should I just wait for the next iOS update?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Iphone 6 camera very dark

When i go to access iphone 6 camera it is very dark

Do the images come out dark as well - as in under exposed or just the image on the screen? Did this happen immediately after the iOS update? Try doing a Restart then Reset in that order. It will often fix glitches. No data will be lost.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Hello anna.lyu,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact circumstances you are describing. If you are having issues with your iPhone camera or image quality, you may find some of the information in the following article helpful:

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

You can't.

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

Why does my iPhone 4s camera take smaller resolution photos?

Randomly my iPhone 4s camera will take pictures of a resolution less than the maximum 8MP, and I can't seem to understand why that is. Is this an automatic setting that Apple has put in place that adjusts due to lighting? I've noticed outdoor shots or those inside with a lot of lighting are more likely to have the full 8MP pixels, but when used in lower lighting settings, my pictures come through at say - 1280 x 960. What might I do to correct this (if anything)?

I have noticed this when zooming - are you doing that?
When I am not zoomed in, I get the correct resolution of 2592x1936 (5MP, i4)

Can I remotely view my iPhone 4s camera's view, from my Macbook Pro?

(I "understand" this can be done with a "JB'd" iPhone. I don't want to go this route.)
And, I also do not want to view the cameras feed through a wireless network, or the internet. (Like the "Mini Webcam" app offers.
I am shooting "static video interviews, tripod mounted, with a Sennheiser shotgun mic.
I can easily tether the iPhone to my MBP, and do so sometimes to save battery power.
It would be helpful both for composing, as well as so my collaborators can see the subject, if the iPhones camera view was visible on the MBP, even if we couldn't see a full resolution image.
I see there is an Apple Digital AV Adapter, for dock connector to HDMI but I suspect this will only work for playing video from the iPhone to an HDTV.
Can anyone cofirm that this connection could work in Camera mode?
Otherwise, is there any way to see my iPhones live camera image on a monitor?
Thanks in advance for any and all help on this.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.

IPhone 3GS Camera App and Photo App Not Opening

Hi, my iPhone 3GS Camera Application and the Photo Application (Base Apple Photo-related apps "Photos", "Camera") will not open. When I tap either of them, it takes me back to the Home Screen and for a brief moment says "Library Updating", I have been waiting over a day for this to work and it still wont open.
If more information is required please specify what areas are needed below.
Thanks,
Datzy.

ok seems you have to do a restore...but in the process your photos might be not backed up so i suggest you download this
http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/detail?name=SetupiPhoneBrowser. 1.93.exe
(windows) and browse for the photos and keep it some place else...

IPhone 4 camera and photo application not working!!

My iphone 4 camera and photo applications do not work anymore. When I tried to take a picture, the camera froze. I turned off my phone and when i turned it back on, the app will load, but when i tap to take the picture it returns to the home screen. The picture library application does the same thing. I try to load my picture library and when I tap to open it, it returns to the home screen.
I have tried turning it off and on multiple times and also turned it off for an extended period of time and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions on what the problem could be or possible ways to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Tap Settings App>General>Reset, near bottom of list>Reset All Settings. If this does not help you could try a Restore with iTunes, and when asked at end Set Up as New. If this does not help and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution.
