IPhone camera problems.

Ok. I'm running 3.1.3 on iPhone 3G.
Recently my iPhone just decided that it wasn't going to let me take pictures anymore. All it allows me to do is open the camera app and it shows the camera shutter and that's all it shows and a restart of iPhone doesn't work and a restore of iPhone doesn't help. I don't know what the problem could be. It hasn't gotten any water damage or any physical damage to cause this to happen. I really wish someone could help ! I love to take pictures of funny things and show my friends. Now it used to be jailbroken but I unjailbroke it about a week after 3.1.3 came out and it hasn't been jailbroken since. This problem just started with my iPhone about two days ago.

Hello. I have just purchased a used Apple iphone (8GB)from a local salesmen that sells used items for a cheap price. (For example I purchased this phone for the low price of $200.00). After I purchased it I took it home and, with the instructions given by the salesperson, I jail broke my iphone to a Cincinnati Bell Network Plan with my current SIM card. I realized the iphone worked perfectly as if it was brand new, except for one thing, when I went to take a picture the camera didn't work correctly. While researching my iphone's problem on the internet I have not seen a problem quite like mine. I will explain: When you open the app for "camera" on my iphone by clicking on it the camera comes up, but instead of showing on the screen what a normal camera would show, it simply shows a screen that looks to me as what a closed lens of a digital camera would look like if the screen were to show you. It looks like a closed camera lens every time I open up the app with a small icon on the bottom which symbolizes a camera. When you click on the camera icon the iphone does nothing and acts as if you clicked on nothing. To solve this problem I have taken it back to the salesman to ask for help. He took it in for 2 days in which he said he would fix it. When he returned it he sated that he fixed the problem and all I would have to do is put a different camera app on my iphone. However after trying 3 different camera apps, which i wasted money on, I am still left with the same closed lens look on every camera app I have installed. All the camera apps on my phone, new and old, do not react to any touching of the screen after open to open the lens or take a picture. They just simply show the "closed lens" look on the screen, thus NOT fixing my problem. Thank you for any help you can address my problem with. It is much appreciated and if I can fix this problem I won't feel as if I have wasted $200.00 and counting on my iphone and the apps I have installed to fix the issue addressed above.
Thanks again for any assistance in this matter,
Batsakis

IPhone Camera Problem

I am experiencing a problem with the iPhone 5 Camera.Whenever I open the camera app, a set of violet pink lines start flickering on the screen vertically.
Whats the problem ??

I've had my orignal replaced twice by an Apple store and this 3rd one has done that twice now. This time I managed to do a screen grab but I'm booking myself into the genius bar and getting it replaced again.

My iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?

If the battery was empty (and it may then take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

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.

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.

Camera problem app, its giving me this purple images then the app freezes i press home button its goes fine back home screen it just the CAMERA APP ITSELF. i did RESTORE

I've found a new way .. I restart the phone manually. And it works. But sometimes , the Problem reappears and sometimes it doesn't . But when it does , its just too annoying. Therefore, restarting the phone manually is a temporary solution. But what's the permanent solution for it? Let's wait and hope that someone comes up with one.
And I hope this restarting hint solves your problem too.
P.S- instagram or any other app won't make a difference. That's what i think .. Cz I don't have that app on my iPhone.

Iphone camera has disappeared. replaced with smugmug

I know many believe that viruses do not exist on apple. Perhaps you are right. However, my Iphone camera is gone. There is an outline of a camera, named "smugmug" in a different area on the screen.
Any help would be most appreciated. thank you.

I got it!!! the problem is inside the Exchange mailbox on the iphone (Do you use the Exchange email?)
I have 2 mailboxes hosted by Google ,supported by Exchange email on the iphone. The "Google Apps for business" email has a control panel wich can enable or disable some services and functions on smartphones.Camera was disabled! I am the admin for the Apps so I easily modified the preference via Control Panel.
If you use the Exchange email,this is the potential cause.
If not,you should restore the iphone without restoring from any backup. This should work. Then separately sync data like address book,photos,music and so on
Good Luck!

Iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

Hi Cyclosaurus,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
In relation to your points:
1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
Thank you again for your help

Printing edited photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll using HP eprint app

I edited and saved photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll. When I use the HP eprint app to print the photos to my HP 5514 Photosmart printer, the edited photo that I select does not show up in the preview, (the original shows up not the saved edited version). I am stumped because in the photo book and on the camera roll the edited version is the only one visible. I don't know what the problem may be. Why is it reverting to the original?

Hi jdanrok,
I did some testing on my iPad and found that after you edit a pic in photos and save it, it will only show the edited version. However, if you go to edit the "edited" photo, you can "Revert to Original", which means it is not really saving the "edited" version, it just "remembers" what you have changed.
When you go into the HP ePrint app, it is only seeing the original, and not the "edited" version.
If you are printing over local wifi (using Airprint) you can actually print the "edited" photo directly from the Photos App by touching the arrow towards the top of the screen and choosing Print.
If you are wanting to use the ePrint app, and you are not on your local wifi (through ePrint), you can email the "edited" photo, save the "edited" photo from the email and it will be just the "edited" version. The old psuedo "edited" version will still be there also.
If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

How to preset copyright default in iphone camera

I would like to be able to preset the following information on my iphone 5 camera metadata settings so that they automatically appear on each photos' metadata no matter which app is in use:
Photographer name, copyright information, terms of use
I am looking to set this as a default, not to set it after the photo is taken (or make a copy with new metadata for export) as is currently offered by so many apps. Considering the ongoing hot debates about copyright infringement and photo sharing, one would think this would be available as a set-up screen under settings/privacy/camera... If it does not currently exist is there a work-around to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

I am well aware that there is no such option and we are not talking about the "average user"... I am posing this question to address the current problem of professional (and amateur) photographers who use their iphone cameras for work/assignments/dissemination (some taking thousands of photographs a month) and have a great need to protect their copyright and intellectual property once it leaves their iphones. This is a huge issue being debated everywhere (have a look at the facebook/instagram debates over photo copyright) - There are many apps available to batch copyright photos retroactively but that is NOT my question either. There should be an option to format this type of info from the start or per project before you take the picture to cut down on post-processing time...

Serious camera problems with the Lumia 800

Hello everyone, I just want to share my experience with you.
I've been using an unlocked Lumia 800 for a week now and I actually like the phone, however these camera problems are just unacceptable.
The camera has SERIOUS white balance problems, and, for me the most important, the auto-focus is just ridiculous. It works bad, but focusing on "macro" objects is just a no go, even usin the touch focus or the "macro" focus mode. Another problem is the lens flare, which reflects how bad these optics might be. You really think that the Carl Zeiss branded optics anything here? Think again. My HTC Incredible S, with its "OEM" optics, (or the Iphone 4S or the SII) just humiliates this camera. Also, is that so hard to make a green square focus confirmarion?
How can they release a flagship device, with this price range, with these problems? No wonder why Nokia is where it is standing now, "almost" in a closing-doors status. They really need better engineers and programmers because everytime they let this happen with a device, they're tossing away their valuable customers. And they really deserve it.
And as I've been reading, the Lumia 900 is having the same problems... How sad is this?
Regards,
RR
Moderator's note; removed personal remarks

No, the camera is not that bad, it is actually decent in lowlight conditions @ISO100 (it automatically raises a bit, but it avoids the 800, unlike the auto-mode), with a good balance between noise and detail. However, In my opinion, that's the whole purpose in camera phones - point and shoot. If I could only take good photos if I find the perfect combination of settings for each situation, the versatility of camera phones would be zero. And of course, if I want "perfect" photos, I'll use my DSLR, but that's not an excuse for this camera, which performs worse that my previous E72.
And understand light and ff course this camera can take amazing photos, as those in flickr, but all cameras can do that. Some do need lots of effort and tries, some not. Even my old Sony Ericsson C902, which was **bleep**, could sometimes take some nice pics.
I'm not complaining about the full set of caracteristics, but about the details that ruin the whole.
- Lack of self-time;
- Metering is also inaccurate. Lots of clipped highlights;
- White balance is a mess with flash and indoors (incandescent or fluorescent lights);
- Lateral lens flare, which is bad and I'll upload an example soon.
- I believe the whole auto-focus is a bit inaccurate, but I can only really notice it in macro captures. This really incapacitates me of taking detailed document photos, which I usually do.
Overall, I'm really enjoying the phone experience, but the camera fails to impress mainly due to the lack of effort by the Nokia Developers to tweak the camera driver properly, which is pitiful.
Here's an example of a screen capture, at 15cm (any other phones I know can sharp-focus at this distance): notice the off-focus/blurred center, the whole image soft-focus, and those stained areas. Weird!

IPad camera -problems with still shot, very grainy images indoors or atnight

Hello, I have the ipad 2 and am experiencing problems with the still camera shots (using the built in rear camera). The images are very grainy to such an extent that th ipad camera images are unusable when taken indoors (under full light), in early evening (under partial light) or at night (under normal indoor night lighting). I can not see any camera settings so not sure if this is a camera problem with my ipad2 or a more general problem with ipad 2 camera images. Any suggestions welcome as It means my iPad2 camera is effectively unusable

The cameras on the iPad won't produce the quality of photo that you'd get from a compact digital camera, and when the light isn't good there will be a noticeable graining. The cameras on the iPad are mainly for things such as FaceTime or for use in good light conditions - otherwise you'll get better results with a digital compact, or even something like an iPhone 4.
