Iphone4s takes blurry pictures

my iphone can't seem to focus. it takes blurry pictures everytime i try to make it focus on anything. I just got it yesterday, and it was brand new. It was also having a very odd vibrate sound, it almost sounded loose as if the vibrate is going to fall out of the phone. it's so odd though because i got the phone brand new. does anyone know what could have caused this?
here is a pic.

Cleaning it with a cloth doesn't help. If I enter camera mode and point the camera at my hand at the bottom it'll be perfectly clear and as I move my hand upward it enters the fuzzy zone where it's just a blur..... Something's messed up.... I don't know if it's water in there or what, but it's been like that for a month.

  • The camera of my Ipone 4 is not focussing and takes blurry pictures up close...

    The camera of my Ipone 4 is not focussing and takes blurry pictures up close... I also cannot use apps like i-nigma because it won't recognise the sign.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    Hi there Brittney827,

    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.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.1, my back camera doesn't auto focus anymore, and it takes blurry pictures. What do you think I should do?

    after updating to ios 7.1.1, my camera doesn't focus anymore. pictures are blurry. what do i do? can anyone help me with this?

    Hello Megeedolore,
    It sounds like your rear facing camera is not functioning correctly. I would start by quitting all the open apps on the phone with the following article:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, and you have a protective case, remove the phone from the case and retest the issue.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Why does it come white when i take a picture on my Iphone4s? it's new, I bought it before 2 weeks ago. what can I do?

    why does it come white when i take a picture on my Iphone4s? it is not all of the pictures which becomes white, but some of them and it is not because i used flash. the phone is new as well , I bought it before 2 weeks ago. what can I do? please need help.

  • Camera on iphone4 suddenly blurry and too bright

    all of a sudden my iphone 4 will not take clear pictures; when I turn it around they are better; can the lens on back scratch that easily and cause this? I have had a bumper on it but that doesn't cover the lens; anyone else have same problem?

    I have been using this phone over like a year and had no issues with it! If it is a hardware issue I guess I should take it to the apple store and ask for it. Gaah this is so annoying. My back side camera was working perfectly fine but now the blurriness is happening with my back side camera as well.

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

    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?

  • IPhone taking blurry pictures and videos

    A week ago my iphone 5 started to take blurry fotos. It looks likes auto focusing but fails. Close range pictures have no problem. Example I take a picture of my hand and it comes out clear. I take a picture of a room or outside it comes out blurry. Same with video.
    Yes my camera lens is clean
    Yes all my filters are off. Same problem with other camera apps.
    Yes i have Restored it twice
    I looked into the problem and it appears to be an auto focus problem with the hardware.
    My facetime camera works perfectly.
    What is causing this issue? any tips or ideas on how to fix this annying problem.

    The solution to your blurry iPhone 5 6 is recalibration.
    Step #1 click on the camera
    Step #2 while in camera click on the bottom right on the (3) circles
    Step #3 you are now looking at (9) different options for photo (Mono, Tonal, Noir, Fade, None, Chrome, Process, Transfer, Instant) lets assume your phone was set for "none" so lets choose chrome
    Step #4 Take a few photos.... Now go back to the (3) circles and put it back on "None"
    Step #5 Take photos and verify
    This process may help your camera on your iPhone recalibrate.  If it does NOT work then you need to go into a Apple Store and request the camera be replaced instore repair and is covered by your 1 year warranty.
    Good Luck

  • My ipod touch can not take pano pictures

    I cannot take pano pictures with my ipod touch,when I touch the option for pano it appears a blurried screen.I dont know what to do,it is a new device (2 weeks new)

    If that is not successful
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                                                              
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What to do about blurry pictures for iPhone 3gs?

    What to do about blurry pictures for iPhone 3gs?

    Use "tap to focus" feature for the iPhone. Just tap and hold the area on the screen that you want focused. Since the 3GS is not as a good camera taker as newer iPhones, be sure to hold the phone very still. That should do the trick, just a little patience, and physical integrity

  • There are colors on the screen when I try to take a picture. Please help.

    Hi, I'm not sure if I'm in the right community but when I try to take a picture I look at the screen and it has a white line going through the top part of the screen. There are white spots all over the lens. There is blue and red parts in the camera. When you move the phone the colors move around. The camera is very blurry and is not focusing.

    Sounds like software - Hope you have a recent back up already as with this issue do not really want to make a back up of the device now.
    Will want to restore the iPhone and after restore 1st set up as New and test the camera after setting up as new.
    If good then can try to restore from a back up. If still good, good. If notice same thing with camera after restoreing from a back up when that back up is no good, will have to erase all content and settings and continue with set up as new.
    Good luck!

  • IPHONE BLURRY PICTURES

    I have just got the new Iphone 4s last week , and have already come across one problem...The pictures its fine when i take te picture, but when i review them they are blurry or grainy looking...WHY IS THIS ?

    Resync them.

  • My iPhone 5 is taking blurry pictures.

    My iPhone is taking grainy and blurry pictures the majority of the time. It is quite disappointing since I have used a 4s that I think takes much better pictures.

    To restore, go to Settings > Settings > Rest > Erase All Content and Settings.
    When it starts up again the Setup Assistant will give you an option to restore from your backup.
    Here is a doc on it:

  • Why is my iPhone shooting blurry pictures

    My iphone 5 just started to give me blurry pictures. Has the software changed as I have made no changes to the settings and the phone has not been dropped or damaged. It seems the autofocus is not working properly.
