My Apple iPhone 4S camera is not working

Hello friends,
I have brought a iPhone 4S from USA one month to india.  All apps are workaing well but camera is not working. Actually problem is that when i take picture without flesh its good photos but after starting flesh of camera there is no photo, i mean very dull or can't recognize  the photo seems white. As i know that iPhone's camera is excellent with 8 MP but not good photos as 3 MP of other mobile photos. This is my iphone problme or not good quality of camera. Please give me good suggestion, how can i take good  photos without flesh or with flesh. Hope this community will help me to short out that problem.
Thank You
Alok

I am also getting this problem in between though its not consistent. As iPhone 4S handles background applications, when this problem comes,
1) Close the camera,
2) Double click on home button to get the background applications,
3) Hold any of the icons to get them wiggling
4) Then close the camera app by clicking x on the icon.
5) Now try to open the camera, it shall work.
Repeat the same whenever you face this problem.Hope this helps
Thanks.

  • Iphone 5 camera is not working soon after I downloaded ios7.  Camera is frozen and shows a blur picture.

    Hi Apple,
    Can you tell me if there's a reason for my camera not working on my iphone 5.
    Soon after downloading ios7 , the camera's front picture has frozen and shows
    blurred picture . The app itself is frozen also  , can't bring up photos from photo album .
    Also I reset the phone and still the camera is not working .
    please advise me as what to do next .
    Regards.
    Reggie.

    Hi Patoraffo,
    I understand that you are having issues with the Camera app functioning, I found the following information that may provide a resolution:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera is not functioning
    - 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 tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    - Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    - Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-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. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop 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.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • IPhone 4 - Camera is not Working

    Hi all,
    This is my 4th post on this forum reg. NOT WORKING Camera of the iPhone 4,
    Today I went to Apple Store at Washington Square, Tigard, Oregon.
    I talked to one of the employees that the problem is :
    - New iPhone,
    - Manufacturer International Unlocked phone, I bought it from Dubai, UAE.
    - Everything fine but both Cameras not working,
    - I did restore & reset the phone twice & the installed software is 4.2.1
    The employee said he has nothing to do because we are supporting ONLY AT&T & Verizon iPhone ( iPhone sold only in US ).
    I tried after that to restart the phone 5 times (pushing & hold the upper ON button for 10 seconds ) & the first thing to do is to switch the camera.
    My Camera now working fine & I hope all do to get same.
    Thanks for all.

    I had the same problem, and the first time I tried to restore, it did not fix it. Then I tried restoring it to a previous backup of my phone (I had about 4 different backups), and the camera works again. Hope this helps.

  • IPhone 4S cameras do not work after iOS 8 upgrade

    I have an iPhone 4S 16 GB, It worked perfectly under iOS 7.1.2. . . I upgraded the OS to iOS 8.0.2 about two weeks ago. ( Bad Move )
    I noticed right off that my device was running a little slower, lagging, and worst of all my "Camera"  App does not have an image At All ! ! !
    The Flash options, HDR options, Timer options, will switch back and forth, but that is all that works, none of the bottom selections work at all,
    and when you hit the front/back camera icon, it freezes /locks the options that did work. I have done a deep restore twice on the device,
    restored as New Device, still no change at all on the behavior of the Camera operation. One thing I did find out though, it is a Glitch in the iOS
    software, pertaining to the Cameras Operation, reason being, is that I can go into the preinstalled Game Center App on the iOS 8, click on Add Photo,
    click on Take Photo, and there are my cameras, working perfectly, front & back. I have done a lot of research on this issue over the past two weeks,
    Reading Apple's own Compatibility Devices which start at iPhone 4S and later for the iOS 8.0.2, But, If you go into the iPhone iOS 8.0.2 Operators Manual, go to camera section, you will see that there are several of the New functions of the Camera that are only compatible with iPhone 5 and later. Leaving the iPhone 4S not capable of executing the full capabilities of the New Camera App. I've chatted with Apple Online Chat Support for several hours two days ago, the only resolve they had was to send the device in or take it to an Apple Store and they would correct that issue "Free of Charge", even though ,my iPhone is 3 years out of warranty, because it is a Software related issue.... All I wanted to do is find a way to revert back to iOS 7.1.2, I found out very quickly, that is Impossible to do, because it violates Security Issues and Apples Terms of Agreement," Leaving them Not Responsible for any issues what so ever that occurs to your device downloading the iOS 8.0.2. . Which in my opinion, is pretty messed up. . What is the Big Deal of reverting back to any iOS you want, Apple should support every iOS version they have, not the users fault that a New iOS does not work right on their device, slowing it down, etc...I run Windows 7 on my PC, I can revert back to any OS I want, no problem at all.. . Anyways, back to iPhone issues, The other issues I got with the upgrade is that, My device will not power back on after I power it off now, I have to do a reset to get it to booted back up and running, and when I do so, there is a white halo that appears on my screen for several hours, then it will finally dissipate (no idea what that's all about), , Also, the battery life is much shorter now, had much better battery time on iOS 7.1.2 . . . Apple Support said that my Case was the first they have heard of, which surprised me.

    I'm not quite clear on how your phone is working right now. I also don't know what "every possible thing" means so here is what you can do to troubleshoot software issues yourself. To be safe do a backup before doing anything.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Just so you are aware, now that you've had a local hardware person repair the phone you no longer have any warranty or service support from Apple. Good luck.

  • Iphone 4s camera still not working after replacing and restore?

    I bought phone with back camera not working so first i done a restore and update to no avail, then done a restore as new phone still no joy, so i decided to buy new camera which i fitted no problems but its still not working? what else can i do as there is no warranty on the phone?

    Find a third-party repair shop with experience in fixing iPhone cameras. Apple won't help you.
    Be aware, since Apple does not sell iPhone parts, there is no legitimate source for such, & many on the market are counterfeit.

  • IPhone 4S Camera app not working. Help? iOS 7.1.2

    I have an iPhone 4S, and my camera doesn't work. When I launch the app, either it black screens (but shows the GUI still), or it shows the background. But when I want to switch the camera so I can show my face in FaceTime or take a selfie, the app black screens or freezes afterwards. I know this is a software issue, and I am running iOS 7.1.2. Any help? Thanks

    Gevey sim is illegal in most countries and to use it you must hack the iPhone,
    thereby voiding the warranty and possibility of support from Apple.
    Terms of Use prohibit discussion of hacked iPhones in these fora. Seek help
    elsewhere.

  • HT203040 iPhone 4S Camera app not working since iOS 8.2 update.

    Since downloaded iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4S the camera won't work. It is just black. Sometimes we can scroll between photo, video etc, but most the time the whole thing is locked up. I have tried rebooting the phone. Nothing works.
    Please Apple Support Team fix this issue.

  • IPhone 4S camera is not working

    Second time that this happened, the camera is just dead with the shutter closed or black blank screen. Reset didnt help so next is to try the painful restore. It's pretty poor for an expensive and supposedly quality smartphobe to have such problems, seen several cases on the web.

  • My iphone 5S camera is not working

    The camera on my iPhone 5S stopped working from one day to the next. (At the time of the issue it was running iOS 8.0.0)
    There were no accidents with my phone, It simply stopped responding. The camera app loads but all I get is a black screen from both cameras.
    I've closed the app and re-booted the phone several times but it did not resolve the issue.
    Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
    Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
    Is there anything else I should try before I go to an Apple store? Is this a software or hardware issue?

    UPDATE: I was able to get the camera working again!!
    go to Settings, General, Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    This won't erase everything but you'll have to set up your WiFi and sign in to iCloud.
