IPhone 5 camera is warping pictures

Hi there,
I got my 16GB iPhone 5 and used the camera serveral times for taking pictures (normal, no HDR, no flash) but nearly every picture shows distortions like when photographing with a fish-eye lens... is that normal and does anyone else experience this??
This is a problem for me since I take a lot of pictures for my job and some companies to upload it directly to social media networks, and with every photo warped this wont work out.
For example, enclosed pictures showing it. Poster warped strangely:
More pictures, another one showing a building on the left warped, and suddenly the wall of my apartement coming in on the upper left corner...

And a bike, completely warped with strange wheels and seat...

Can you please help me? Is this a production error or is it just the way the iphone 5 does pictures...?

Hello WillNoHo
Check out the quoted section below to troubleshoot issues with your camera on your iPhone. There are other options within the article if it does not resolve the issue for you.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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.
Regards,
-Norm G.

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.

Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

IPhoto Not Deleting iPhone Camera Pictures

When I connect my iPhone to my Mac, iPhoto launches and offers to import the pictures for me. (I want this behavior). It then asks what to do with duplicates, and I tell it don't import duplicates. After the photos have been imported, it offers to delete the photos on my iPhone...I tell it "Yes"...but it doesn't delete them.
Do I have to delete camera roll photos manually on my iPhone?

Hi,
Not sure if this will help but this is what I did.
1) If you have synched and transferred your iPhone camera roll photo's to your Mac and did not select the iPhoto option to delete the originals off the iPhone as part of transfer process, then you like me, now have two sets of photo's: the originals on the iPhone and the identical photos transferred into iPhoto.
2) As I took more iPhone photo's and did additional synchs/transfers to iPhoto, unless I choose to "delete originals" as part of the iPhoto transfer, I continued to have more and more images left on my iPhone. I was never able to clear out the camera roll once and for all.
3) Short of going one by one on the iPhone camera roll and deleting the images, what I now use is the Apple app, "*__Image Capture_*"
4) Attach your iPhone to your Mac as if you were going to synch. Go to your Apps folder, open the "Image Capture" app. After it loads you will see on the left hand side under Devices your iPhone listed.
5) Select your iPhone, and in the main image Capture window you will then see all the images currently on your iPhone camera roll. You can now select all or some and click the Delete button (Red Circle with a line thru it) at the bottom of the Image Capture screen. This will delete them from the iphone and clear your camera roll.
(NOTE: please make sure you have already transferred the images off your iPhone if you want to keep them, because as far as I know, once you delete them this way from your iPhone they are gone.)
6) As an additional option, you can if you so desire, opt to click on the "Delete after Import" box (lower right corner in the main Image Capture page). The means that all future transfers/synch of images from your iPhone to iPhoto will be deleted afterwards whether or not you say so in iPhoto transfer.
Hope this helps. It did for me, I was able to finally removed the 800 or so photo's I had left behind on my iPhone. My camera roll is clean now and the process works much better, at least for me.

My new Ipad camera takes poor picture quality compare to my iphone 4g. Is it should be so?

Hi pjl,
Yes I forgot to mention, the iPad does lose the tether when it sleeps, so I turned sleep off permanently which is probably not great for battery life either!
I just don't understand why another iPhone4 can connect to the personal hotspot with absolutely no intervention once it knows the password. That's how it should be on the iPad. They are both running the latest iOS5 so why any difference?

All of a sudden my iPhone 5s restarts alone and the camera takes green pictures

All of a sudden my iPhone 5s restarts alone and now the camera takes green pictures
I have the iOS 7.1 and for four months it's been working great, not now

First thing to try is a reset: Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
If this doesn't help, back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

Iphone 6 camera takes a picture and the picture is missing

Question about the iphone 6. Two different occasions now i have taken a picture with the stock camera app, the picture shows up in the bottom left preview window and when i go to click it and it takes me to the photo app, the picture is not there. Preview always stays there for the picture but the picture is missing. The first time it happened i tried to reboot the phone, it was still there, then i did a restore and then the picture preview was finally gone. Now it happened again and i would like to not restore my phone again. Is anyone having this issue? It happened once before the ios8 update and after it. I have been searching all over and cant seem to find anyone who has this problem. I even plugged the phone into my computer to see if it was in there and it wasn't. Thanks!

Yes the restore phone worked to lose the pic but then it just happened again a couple weeks later. I actually found a work around for getting rid of the preview picture. I plugged my phone in and deleted any recent pics from the camera and cleared the photo stream then I restored a photo I had from the trash on the phone and then delete the trash photo again, some reason the preview of the lost pic goes away. That just happened on a fluke but I Still haven't figured out why the camera takes a picture and it doesn't always exist except in a preview though. At least i figured out how to get rid of it without restoring.

Why does my iPhone camera shut down when I try to take a picture?

Every time I try to snap a photo with either Camera+, iPhone camera, or Instagram, the app shuts down and goes back to my main screen?? Maddening.

Double tap the home button. Then you'll see the apps that are currently running. close all all by holding any of the icons for two secs and tapping the red minus sign. then try it again.
If this doesnt help, do a hard reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and home button together until the apple logo appears.

Intermittent saving of pictures from iPhone camera

I have several camera apps, and on most occasions, once the shot has been taken, the camera app says it has saved the picture, yet the picture never appears in the "photos" folder (or "camera roll"). Where did the pictures go--any ideas?

usually any pictures used to be saved to the "camera roll"...until recently (upgrade to OS4.0). I have upgraded all 10 camera apps...sometimes they save to the camera roll, most times not. Each app. does not designate to where the pictures are to be saved (I have always assumed the camera roll). I can't figure it out....
when I try each app, each app says it is being "saved." Yet when I double check the camera roll, that picture was not saved--so I try another camera app...same results--camera says "yes", but camera roll says "no."

Why is my iPhone Camera Roll using 10.0 GB but my Photo Library only using 6.3 GB?

When I look at usage in my iPhone, Camera Roll is using 10.0 GB, but Photo Library is only using 6.3 GB. I do not have Photo Stream enabled. Why the difference?

In my case, Camera Roll is just the pictures taken on my phone and the remainder of the photos on my phone were synced from my computer via iTunes and are under "Photo Library". If you go to Photos and then tap Albums at the bottom right, it will show which pictures are in the Camera Roll. My Camera Roll usage is much smaller than Photo Library as I only have 2 pictures there since I regularly import them to my computer where I have more control and extra backup capability. I then sync back some that I want to also have on the phone.

Iphone camera not recognized in Windows 7

Hello Fellow iPhone users
I am having a problem with the iPhone camera on the iPhone 3g 3.0. I cannot get it to allow me to open up the camera to get the pictures off of it. When I go to Devices and Printers it shows the Apple Mobile Device USB driver and that is installed fine and it works in ITunes, however, it also shows the iPhone but with the yellow triangle and exclamation point. It says that the driver is not installed properly. The status is needs troubleshooting. When I go to properties, it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)". I have tried reinstalling iTunes, unplugging, replugging the iPhone. I have tried a different iPhone (a 3GS with version 3.1.2) with the same results(they both work fine in XP).
I have been trying to get this working for a few hours and have no idea what is wrong. Are there any other drivers I can get? How about reinstalling the usb drivers? This is on an Acer netbook, and it was working with Windows 7 starter, but when I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, it stopped working. I assume it is a driver issue, but I don't know what other drivers I can use or which ones to change out. Other USB cameras are working fine.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Windows sometimes won't detect the phone and allow camera/scanner access if there are pics on the iphone not taken by the iphone camera. Email any non camera taken pics to yourself, download them on your computer, then delete the pics from the iphone. When you reconnect your computer it should start the camera/scanner download as usuall.

IPhone Camera App Crashed...

Hello, I was taking some pictures with the iPhone camera app when all of the sudden after taking the picture, the camera app closed and the iPhone screen showed the shutdown spinwheel for a few seconds and then returning the the unlock screen. When I reopened the picture app, the picture that I took before the crash was gone. What could have cause this crash issue? but most importantly where's the picture? is it gone or was transmitted to somewhere else (folder, camera roll, iCloud, etc.)?
Thanks for the assistance!
P.S. I am looking at the iPhone logs and see that there was a springboard crash near the time of the crash. Can a springboard crash cause the iPhone to show a shutdown spinwheel and then leave you back in the log in screen?

I am using iOS6.1.1
Can you try to load up the apples and try take some HDR photos.
