Is the iPhone 5 camera slanted?

Is this a glitch with my iPhone, or with everyone's iPhone 5?  If I set my phone on its side and take a photo, the image is tilted slightly to the right.  But if I lift the far left edge of the iPhone slightly off my desk, keeping the right edge on the desk, I can get the image on my screen level.
Image #1: iPhone 5, flat on my desk, lined up with the keyboard in the background.  The keyboard should be level.  Clearly, it is not.
Image #2: I'm holding the left corner of my iPhone 5 up with the right corner still resting on my desk:
Is this unique to my iPhone 5, or are we all experiencing it?  I'm not saying this is a huge deal, but I'm surprised I can't rest my iPhone on a flat surface and get a level shot.  Something is wrong.

Hopefully this will help to better illustrate what I'm seeing.  Here are two photos from another camera. I measured to make sure the iPhone was parallel with the keyboard which I've stood up to use as a prop.
1st shot: iPhone 5 flat. Note the tilted keyboard on screen.
2nd shot: iPhone with a coin under the left corner to prop it up at an angle. Note the flat keyboard on screen.
Again, just to be clear: the desk is absolutely level. The iPhone is parallel with the keyboard. The shots here hopefully clearly show that iPhone is flat in one and tilted in the other (being propped up on one end by a nickel).
Something is very odd.

  • 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..

  • Has anyone experienced the iphone 4s camera panorama failure where the panorama stops after taking  only one non panoramic shot? I think this happens when you switch direction of the panoramic arrow.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • "Sharing" a Lr Mobile TIF file to the iPhone 6 camera roll converts the TIF to JPG.  Bad, bad, bad Lr Mobile!

    I have another discussion concerning Lr Mobile and TIF files that exist in the iPhone 6/iOS 8 camera roll (aka "Recently Added"): Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll
    A new issue has surfaced.  When I add a TIF file in Lr Desktop to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile, the TIF file appears as a TIF file in Lr Mobile.  So far, so good.  But if I then "share" that TIF image using the "Save Image" command in Lr Mobile, the image gets converted to a JPG file before it is added to the iPhone's camera roll.  This despite the fact that the iPhone 6 camera roll can save and display TIF files captured by the iPhone's camera.
    Please fix this problem, as well as the problem concerning display of camera roll TIFs in Lr Mobile that is the subject of my other discussion!
    Cheers,
    Jeff

    The file that comes into Lightroom mobile is labeled as a Tiff but is really a smart preview that Lightroom has generated from the Tiff and synced to the cloud.  The file your iPad is pulling in from LR Desktop is not a Tiff in the true sense. so it wouldn't make sense that it would save to camera roll as such.
    That makes sense.  I'll try enabling offline editing for that TIF file to force a download of the full file and then try to save it to the camera roll.

    You mean like they do in the TV crime show shows like CSI?  A cell phone screen from 20 feet is going to be way too small to make any sense of. 

  • Windows XP not recognizing the iphone still camera

    I have been using successfully iphone (2G) with itunes and photoshop. For last 1 week when i updated the itunes to 8 and iphone to 2.0.2, windows does not recognize the digital still camera. Hence photoshop and picassa can't detect iphone and i can't sync photos from iphone to photoshop and vice versa.
    It is working perfectly fine on other PCs. I know that there is something wrong with my windows or iphone drives but can't figure out what.
    Itunes is able to detect the iphone and can sync seamlessly. Can anyone help whats going wrong.

    One thing that might help.
    When the iphone is connected to the computer, click on start.
    Then right click on My Computer and choose Manage.
    In the computer management window, click device manager on the left hand side.
    The to right, look to see if there are any items with exclimation marks or red x.
    If one is the iphone or under imaging devices, try reloading the driver or delete is.
    If you delete it, disconnect the iphone and reconnect.
    Hope this helps.

  • I want to get the iphone 5s the day it comes out. Do you think the best way is to go to the apple store or wait at Verizon. I know when the iphone 5 came out here that they sold out at Verizon. The closest apple store is an hour away.

    I want to get the new iPhone 5s right when it comes out. I was just wondering what you guys thought. Should I go to the apple store (closet one is an hour away and always busy) or should I go to my local Verizon store. I know when the 5 came out last year they ran out of the iPhone 5. What do you think my best bet will be??

    There's really no way anyone can even guess, since we have no idea what sort of stock will be available and how Apple will distribute it. It's not impossible that your local Verizon store will not have any units at all on the first day, or they could have a quantify. We just can't know. If your Verizon store can't give you some idea, you'll just have to make your best guess. Note that people are already lining up at Apple Stores in at least a couple of cities according to reports, and started doing so earlier this week.

  • How do you get the iPhone 4 camera to take larger pictures?

    GSM Model is the AT&T one? Just want to make sure I'm in the right spot. I have an AT&T iPhone 4.
    Well I notice that when I take photos and I laod them on my computer to color correct them or whatever, they are a very small size (11x8 @ 72dpi) Obviously when you up the dpi the image gets smaller, in this case when you change the dpi to 300 the picture becomes a 1x2 image. Not suitable for printing at all.
    How can I change the output picture settings on the iPhone 4? On my older 3GS model it takes pictures at 28x21@ 72 dpi, and when you up the dpi to 300 it makes it roughly a 4x6. Very suitable for printing a clean picture. There has to be a way to change the settings on the iPhone 4.

    I agree with randy something your doing on your computer is compressing the pictures when I open a photo taken with my iPhone 4 its 1936 X 2592 which is a huge photo it only shows me the picture at 33 percent so im not sure what your doing differently my document size is 26 inches by 36 inches if that helps

  • Why is the iPhone 5 camera small

    On my iPhone 5 when I take pictures the screen is small even smaller then the iPhone 4S screen and I just wanna see if anyone knows why is it so small is there a reason behind it?

    the aluminum on the black iphone 5 is being damaged in Foxconn assembly, Apple is replacing all damaged scuffed,chipped/scratched devices.
    also there was a 2,000 worker riot at Foxconn that has damaged the assembly line for the iphone, get your replacement iphone5 while you can as there is soon to be a shortage

  • Zooming on the iPhone 4s camera

    I managed to zoom in yesterday by pinching the screen but now it won't let me zoom again. I've tried pinching it for about 100 years and i press and held the home and sleep/poweroff buttons until the apple sign came up, it still didn't do anything. Any ideas anyone?

    Your battery lasted that long?

  • Hey guys, just wondering when the iphone 4s came out, was the iphone 4 16gb, 32gb etc taken down from sale straight away? If not how long was the iphone 4 16gb, 32gb on sale for before it was taken down? Would this be the same for the iphone 4s and 5?

    On the apple website

    After the release of the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 4 was only sold in an 8GB version. If they had any left in stock of higher capacities, I'd assume they'd sell those off, but once they're gone.....

  • Photo preview on the iphone 4 camera lockscreen problem

    i had a problem with the camera on my iphone 4 lockscreen when i tried to preview the picture all the picture was zoomed in and when i tried to pinch it to its original size it got zoomed. help please??????????

    No.
    The Camera Roll is for photos and videos that are captured by your iPhone and for photos saved from a received email, from a received MMS or iMessage, or from a website.
    The Photo Library is for photos that were transferred from your computer.
    The Camera Roll is for temporary storage as with any other digital camera, and photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. You can leave the import by your computer on the Camera Roll or delete the import from the Camera Roll after the import is complete.
    If you want the imported photos/videos available on your iPhone that were deleted from the Camera Roll when imported, you can transfer the photos/videos to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - making seperate photo albums/folders by event, etc. on your computer which will be reflected on your iPhone when transferred.

  • Any way to turn off SHUTTER SOUND on the iPhone 4 camera???

    Is there any way possible to turn off the shutter sound on iPhone 4 without affecting the other sounds?

    Turning the switch on the side to Silent works for me. However, there may be national laws involved. In some places it is required that cameras make a sound when a photo is taken. Your profile doesn't say where you are, but this might be an issue.
