My iPhone 5 is not focusing when taking pictures

My iPhone 5 is not even a year old, and lately I have been having problems with camera "focus".  The view looks clear, then I get the square in the middle showing the camera is focusing, and then it is blurry, resulting in a blurry picture.  Has anyone had this problem, and if so, can you tell me what you did to fix it?
Thanks.
Mike

For anyone that has the same issue I had, just wanted to let you know I took the phone into the apple store this afternoon, and after the Genius Bar techie confirmed the auto focus was not working, then checking the lens to ensure I didn't break it, he brought a new phone out and replaced my phone free of charge.  New phone works perfectly.  He said he had not seen this issue before (on an iPhone 5).

  • When taking pictures with my iPhone 4S with flash the pictures are blue

    When taking pictures with my iPhone 4S and when I use the flash the pictures come out blue but wen I don't use the flash the pictures come out great. Can someone please answer my question to why that is happening

    Do you have a case on your phone? Many cases get a reflection from the sides and bleed light over the picture.
    The flash is naturally green/blue colour anyway..so it could be just that.

    On iOS 5? Yes it does, you just have to pinch like u would to make page bigger in safari for example.

  • Freezing/hanging when taking pictures and videos  in i phone 4

    freezing/hanging when taking pictures and videos  in i phone 4 with flash on.

    Hi Mister.
    Let's try to answer your questions.
    - The E5 does not have a red light when you take pictures.
    - I don't know about battery life comparing with E6 and E72, just can say on the E5 is quite good. It has a 1200 mAh battery, you should check the others, but also the features of each one, i.e. the E6 is a touchscreen one, so it consumes more power.
    - It has a notification white light, around the navigation button.
    Regards.

  • No focus when taking video

    Hi,You can't focus when taking video with Lumia 800. Sometimes the video is clear sometimes it is not focus at all. Is it a bug?

    I think the problem only appears sometimes the phone is autolocked when video app is not exit. Then after you unlock and you find the video is not focus. You can just restart the video again and find it back to normal. It's not a bug.

  • IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

    My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
    -error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
    -would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
    -person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
    -when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
    -cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
    -when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
    At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
    Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

    Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
    And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
    I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
    But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

  • The photos that I better (improves automatic) are saved on the iphone, but when I transfer them to my PC improvements appear no more, only on iphone. I do not understand why the improvements are just the iphone, and not continue when I transfer the photos

    The photos that I better (improves automatic) are saved on the iphone, but when I transfer them to my PC improvements appear no more, only on iphone. I do not understand why the improvements are just the iphone, and not continue when I transfer the photos to my PC.
    Thanks.

    Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.

  • After upgrading to 6.1.3 yesterday photocamera from iphone 4 not focus. why? please fix bug!!!!

    After upgrading to 6.1.3 yesterday photocamera from iphone 4 not focus.Whi ? please fix the bug !! and the battery is draining faster !!!

    This is almost embarassing. For some totally unexplainable reason all the songs in iTunes were unchecked. I was considering syncing the whole iTunes library to my iPnone, tut even with the 32 Gb version it would not hold it all. I restarted my MBP, and the message about the unchecked songs came up. It obviously is not enough to have songs checked for the iPhone. Thanks anyway.

  • HT201401 iphone 4s     not charging when power ON

    iphone 4s     not charging when power ON

    Amish/ Selvars4, i have exactly the same issue. I'm sure its software issue as mine has done it also just last week. i had it happen previously about 3 months ago also. the phone would only charge via a USB from a pc or if the phone was turned off.The way i got it working last time i kept reloading previous version of the phone back up and finally it worked normally again. It was always visible to iTunes so not an issue. Last week though i have had exactly the same problem as Selvars and itunes cannot see it now, and not charge by any device except when turned off. I did a backup and iTunes sync about 2 days before this problem started. (now thinking back it was the same when i had the previous issues with charging) this time its invisible to iTunes, pc,won't charge anywhere except turned off. i left it plugged into pc where it wasn't visible and then about 40mins later it recognised it. so i did a factory restore and update then reloaded a back up. it now is visible to pc and charges from pc and power adaptor but won't charge from a dock. Strange and Frustrating. Suvzero

  • 6720C :how disable flash when taking picture with ...

    Activate panorama mode.
    Turn the video light on (video mode only).
    Select the flash mode (images only).
    Activate the self-timer (images only).
    Activate sequence mode (images only).
    Select a colour effect.
    Adjust the white balance.
    Go to Photos.
    scroll to flash and turn it off there

  • My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger.

    My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger. Evenmore when it is on the charger and it still not working, it asks to connect to i-tunes but i can't and i can see only emergency calls. What should i do?

    If it only works when connected to a charger, that would indicate a battery issue.
    As for the other issue... do as it suggests and connect to iTunes then restore.  There is no logical, intelligent expectation that anything on the device can be accessed as long as the "Connect to iTunes" screen is displaying.
