My camera doesn't work in messages, only shows black screen. Iphone6

I push the camera button in messages app, and I want to take a picture, but it only shows a black screen. camera still works in camera app. What do I need to do?

Hello there, Markcollinshale.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with iOS not functioning as expected, which should help in resolving your issue with the camera in Messages:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Importing Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen

Why is it Importing WMV Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen.
Thank You In Advance

Forget about all the rest until you check out the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the current 1/2 wmv display related to a recent Windows Update kb file. I missed the wmv part of your initial question by focusing too much on the thread title.
Here is a copy for your convenience
Announcement: Windows Update Causes Half of Display to Be Blacked Out
Hide Details
MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
"MS bulliten MS13-057. Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files. Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.
Also, see this Adobe KB Article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/wmv-files-corrupted-import-or.h tml

I think that is your answer. Please let us know if that worked for you.

Near Dead Ipod - Only shows black screen with apple logo and sick face ipod

I would be very grateful for any help.
I bought my 60GB ipod in the summer of 2005, whatever generation that makes it. Until recently it's been a little glitchy - sometimes the screen would appear to be functioning normally, but songs would not play. For example track 1 would look like it was about to play, then skip to track 2, then 3, and so forth. I had to force restart it regularly.
Today I connected my ipod to my macbook and itunes appeared to start (bounced in the dashboard) then failed to launch. The ipod screen looked as though it was connected (flashing red sign) but did not mount on screen. I tried to force quit itunes, but that didn't work and the computer froze. I did a force restart of the computer with the ipod plugged in, and it took very long to restart. The whole time, the ipod screen continued to flash the red sign. I unplugged the ipod and force restarted it.
Now, when I press menu, the black screen comes up with the apple logo, then periodically switches to a screen with an ipod with a sick face and "www.apple.com/support/ipod listed under it. I can hear a clicking sound when I hold it up to my ear.
I've got 40 gigs of music on it and I'd very much like to get that off since much of it is not backed up. Am I screwed?

Likely a hard drive failure
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
http://www.ifixit.com/
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

ITunes U catalogues only show black screen.

I have tried re-booting my iPad. Deleting it and re-installing. Even erasing all data and content. Without back up and back up. Yet iTunes U catalogues only show a black screen. And the bar with the top charts and all that at the bottom of the screen. Also with the search button at the top. Any one know how do do this?

I mean how to fix it.

Hi there,

iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
-Griff W.

I updated my Apple TV to 5.3 and now it doesn't work. It only shows a computer and General settings to choose from. Can someone please help me.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That tells you it's not connected to the internet properly.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

Just uploaded Firefox 5.0 and now my launchFox Tab doesn't work. Goes to a black screen.

I have tried this several times and it doesn't open to the panels of my sites. Nothing else has changed other than going to Firefox 5.0

Yes, that's it. I did try that before and then again after your response but still no luck. What I'm thinking is that the JS View 2.0.5 add on is not yet compatible with the new Firefox 5. If that's the case then I would hope that it will soon be compatible. The problem is that I actually use that every day and now I'm kinda stuck. Still open to any thoughts if you have any. I am willing to go back to Firefox 4 is that is still possible.

Google Earth only shows black screen with yellow lines on Lion 10.7

Hi, I am having trouble with running the Google Earth plug in my browser. Everytime I switch to "earth" mode, all I see is a black screen and yellow lines. I was able to rectify the issue in Google Earth itself by turning off Atmosphere but I can't do that in my browser and I use a website that utilizes Google Earth within a browser, so I'd really like to figure this out. I'm running Lion 10.7 on a X1600 128 MB dedicated graphics card. Maybe the graphics card is not good enough? Although I would have thought it could handle Google Earth.... Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi thanks for all the concern and replies. I've tried all that.
I had just got it back from the shop last Friday. It was there for around two weeks. It was a faulty GPU (when you see garbled display that's consisten when booting it the GPU). I have a strong feeling it's related to the Lion install 10.7 or 10.7.1 and may be similar to reports of Mac laptops overheating. It's good the GPU is removable, it might have taken 3 week or a month if it had been the whole board.
It's a blessing in disguise though as with all or most cases because I also got to have the LCD replaced for excessive backlight bleeding (in my opinion), the dead pixel from the previous LCD isn't there anymore (though under the glass there're some smudges but nothing crucial). The backlight bleeding is still the same though in my opinion but at least it's new.
It's a great thing I bought Applecare. I didn't buy it for the iPhone because that's more durable (my iPhone 3G's 3 years old now and it's still solid. Although there are scratches and a crack at the back at the bottom, got sqeezed under the table I think when I sat). I think Applecare is a good recommend for things that get hot like desktop and laptop Macs(are the iOS considered Macs btw?) which are twice or thrice the price of iOS devices.

Camera doesn't work on iPad iOS 8.1.1

I have just upgraded to iOS 8.1.1 to my iPad and now the camera doesn't work. I get a black screen when choosing front camera. Is anyone experiencing this problem? If so, do you know a fix?

Hi,
I got exactly same issue after that and I swap the old camera with another and it started working again.

Droid 3 problems - Cell standby eats up a ton of battery - camera doesn't work - more in thread.

I am making a post regarding this problem because it seems only new posts get a response from VZW reps. Before you ask, yes I have used the battery saving tips - this is clearly a problem with cell standby and wifi. They are, by far, the biggest consumers of the battery. I don't know what's going on here but this should not be happening. Even on the unpatched Thunderbolt the battery life wasn't this bad. This battery problem is clearly not because of any third party apps, even with no accounts set up and nothing installed, the battery drains very quickly.
The camera doesn't work right, and regularly freezes. When it does work, it's very blue. I am told this is a known issue and the patch is on the way I'm told.
The stock keyboard's suggestion bar often stays on the screen no matter what, regardless of whether I am typing or not.
The Droid 3 does NOT charge off my car's USB cable, every other phone and mobile device I've tried does, however, so this is clearly an issue with the phone.
The stock homescreen lags and redraws often.
The pre-installed apps that I don't want or use, are using up a big chunk of memory (and certainly not helping already abysmal battery life). If they are killed, they just start themselves again. They cannot be uninstalled. If Verizon wants to give us extra apps, great, but allow us to uninstall them.
I received this as a replacement phone because the previous replacement phone was having issues. I've gotten dozens of replacement phones and ALL of them have had problems. Whatever steps are being taken to ensure these phones work properly do not ensure that people are getting a working phone. This process needs to be revised. The premium price we as Verizon customers pay should translate to our customer experience.
-A very frustrated customer.

I've had a Droid 3 for about a month. I think it's a really good phone, but cell standby and phone idle are the biggest consumers of battery life on my phone. The camera is slow to load and the images have a blue tint sometimes. When surfing the web or the app store and exiting afterwards, the main screen can take 8 - 16 seconds to materialize. When surfing through the Social Messaging (NonBlur) widget, it repeats things you've already read when you check it later on and when replying to comments via the Social Messaging widget, they don't always post. The back cover squeaks now from removing it occasionally to pull the battery when the phone freezes up. For being a 1G dual core processor phone, you would never know it. I've also had problems with the suggestion bar remaining on the screen even after you press the space bar. The app store is maddeningly slow to load. The indicator next to my battery charging port doesn't work, well it flickered once. I haven't had issues with Bluetooth or wifi as some have. My GPS seems to work well.
The bloatware on the phone is ridiculous. I don't use any of the Verizon apps or other preloaded apps. They take up a lot of the useable space on the phone and can't be removed. I really don't care about an NFL app....and I can't remove it or anything else. Verizon should give you the option of removing the apps you won't use. It would be a good customer service move. Instead, I think its selfish to make us live with apps that take up space and slow the phone down. This phone comes with Android 2.3.4 which is the fastest version of Android right now....I can honestly say that my Droid X with 2.2 was faster on the move than this phone. However, after downloading 2.3.3, it ruined the phone and a replacement.
I think if a software update addresses most of these issues, the Droid 3 would be outstanding. The hardware keyboard is the best on the market and I love the 4 inch screen. I pay $100 + a month for service through Verizon. I think the phone should operate as promised. The 8 megapixel camera is slow to load and focus. My old Droid X had a good 8MP camera sensor. Lesser phones have great cameras. My boss' iphone 4 takes WAY better pics with a 5MP camera. I know it's a software issue and that it can be resolved. Make this phone world class by working with Motorola to deliver a quality software update.
I stick with Verizon because of their reliable coverage. If this phone doesn't get addressed with a software update, I'll look at a WP7 phone or something on Sprint (better prices on data etc) or Virgin Mobile which has some decent phones and dirt cheap messaging and data plans.

Canon mini Disk camera doesn't work if external drive connected

A long story.      Anyway, I have a MacPro Intel Dual Core 266 Ghz with 5 Gbs RAM, 4 internal hard drives HD1~HD4 (HD1 OSX 250 and three 500Gb) and two external HD5 (two partitions~HD5 & Time Machine Backups) and HD6 (1 Tb each).
I've been using a Canon mini DV video camera FV-M10 (Firewire 400) for live video (Skype/iChat) and also for importing video into Final Cut Express, After Effects or iMovie up until a few days ago. Both "live" video and from the recorded mini cassette tape. Then all of a sudden not one of the software recognized my camera anymore. I tried both Firewire 800/400 and USB2 connections using a few different cables. In Skype...(sometimes) it automatically shows the name FV-M10 in the camera slot, but the screen is black. No, I checked if I left the cover on. I checked my Sony WX-5 digital camera and see if that is recognized. Yes, both pics and AVCHD videos are seen using the USB connection.
The problem started like this.
I was downloading a file. Had to work for an hour and when I came back upstairs. I noticed that the screen was frozen.   So, I shut the Mac down. And when I started it again, well nothing happened except for a grey screen. A half~sized cursor was stuck up in the top left. But, my mouse also had a cursor which was movable.
It wouldn't even recognize the OSX Install Disk holding down "C" or "Option". Only starting with "Shift" held down, "Safe Boot" could I use the basics like Mail, Safari, Firefox.   NO sound and no video. Tried a few times as well as cleaned my OSX HD1 hard drive and re-installed from "Safe Boot" mode".   So, I had it sent into Apple Tokyo for repairs.   Apple put in a new board.     Great!      I came it back in two days.   I cleaned the OSX hard drive and re-installed Mac OSX with the up-dates as well and got some of my main backed up stuff Mail, bookmarks, address book etc.   It started fine.     But, when I went to use Skype, iChat, iMovie or Final Cut Express they still couldn't recognize my camera. I had been using the Canon FV M10 camera for a few years with both external hard drives on. There were never any problems until just before I sent it into the shop.
There was only one way to use my camera. Un-Plug the external HD6. Then the camera functions fine. but remember I had been using this camera with both HD's for around two years without any problems.
Notes on symptoms: and what actions I took.
Front connections: FW400 Canon camera. FW800 (Tried connecting HD6)
Rear Connections: USB2 1) MidiMan 2 x2   2) mouse 3) Canon Printer
                               FW400 HD5 FW800 (tried HD6)
With HD6 Connected.
iMovie 11 9.02 : Start iMovie O.K. No camera on.   Turned camera "on" then "No Camera Connected" notice came up.   (did this a few times)   Turned camera off.   Quit iMovie.
2nd start: Camera On.   iMovie freezes.   Spinning Colored beach ball.   I then Force Quit Option-Apple-ESC
iMovie shows (not responding) When I turn off the camera. (not responding) disappears and iMovie is working again. But, "No Camera Connected" shows again. Quit!
Un-Plugged (Ejected) HD6.
When I un-plugged HD6,    (tried both the front and rear connections).   iMovie still on.
"No Camera Connected" I Quit iMovie.
Re-start iMovie: Camera on… Live video and record miniDV tape can both be seen.
Skype: Both live video and mini DV tape recording even plays back over Skype screen.
iChat (same as Skype) O.K.
Since Apple replaced the board 661-3932 Card Video, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT which cost just about $X00.00 (¥XX,000).   I assume that they don't also check all the connections etc. I mean from the connector to the video board.
The call to Apple Tokyo today.
Just talked to Apple (Mac) Tokyo about my computer problem. Seems like they're trying to squeeze their way of more repairs by saying I have a hard drive configuration problem.   But it doesn't seem like that!   I worked with it 2~3 hours today...and here is the basic problem.
I've used the Canon FV M10 mini DV camera with Skype, iChat, iMovie and FCEx for few years (HD6) is over a year old-the most recent add on) with no problem.    With both external 1Tb hard drives. And Apple said that it's a 3-party problem. (different makers etc.) But, it's NOT!     Yes, they put in a new board.   But, I'd say the problem is from the connection (where I plug the cable into the Mac) to the board.
When I connect HD6 (1Tb ext hard drive).   FW 800 (either back or front connection) the video camera doesn't work in Skype, iChat, iMovie, or Final Cut Express.     If I eject and Un-Plug HD6 all of them work fine. The camera "live" or the camera playing back the mini DV tape video.
Wouldn't this be a problem between the connections (front & back) to the new video board? Or does anyone have an answer.   Apple seems to have said, "We can't help you".   Please someone help! thanks

+My mini isn't responding to startup commands like "C" or "D" from the keyboard.+
You'll need a wired usb keyboard for these commands to work -- and the Apple Aluminum keyboard won't work either.
But just about any PC usb keyboard will work. Alt maps to Option and Win-key to CMD.

Hi everyone.. I have problem.. I buyed NOKIA lumia 800, but camera doesn't work.. When I turn on camera i have black screen, and when i press camera button, she just turn off.. Please help.. i tried hard reset, diagnostic tool, but she doesn't work.

Since the hard reset does not help and you have just only bought the phone, I suggest returning it to the seller for a replacement or refund.

Said not connected to camera.
If the other suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 do not remedy your problem, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
((Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.))

New I phone 5 - camera doesn't work

Bought a new I phone 5 and the camera doesn't work. Need help

Camera
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 tappingSettings > 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.
Is the camera app not opening? Or the app will open but the camera won't take pictures?

My camera doesn't work in messages, only shows black screen. Iphone6
