My Rear Camera shows a crack when taking photos

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.2. When I take photos with the rear camera, there is is crack or line in the upper right corner of every zoomed out photo I take. Can anyone help me out on what could be the problem? I took apart the iPhone 5 and cleaned the camera compartment from inside. There are no cracks on the sapphire lens cover.
I have attached a link to a photo that I took.

Sounds like a hardware failure to me. I'm sure you've checked the obvious, like something covering the lens.

  • IPhone 5 flash on camera stopped working when taking photos & poor quality photos

    iPhone 5 camera flash  stopped  working when taking  photos and poor Quality photos . Flash still works when in torch mode .

    Hey there Jimbo,
    It sounds like your flash has stopped working on your phone and you noticed a decrease in image quality.
    I recommend a few troubleshooting steps here. Start with closing the running apps on the phone:
    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 restart the phone and test it again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Thank you very much for your reply gdgmacguy :) I did all you suggested apart from restore as new device . Didn't know I could do that . After restore I did restore from back up only,  as I didn't want to end up without contacts details on my phone. If I restore as new device how do I get my all contacts? Still will have to use back up? Sorry if it sounds like I don't know what i am doing, i just have no one to ask who would know. Thank you

  • When taking photos, it won't open the jpg picture, message is "unable to display file:

    I have problems to open my jpg picture when taking photos.  The message I receive is "unable to display file:  20150104_173558.jpg  -  What should I do to rectify this problem?

    Hi and welcome to the BlackBerry Community support forums!
    Do you have the images on phone memory or on a micro sd card? Ether way, plug the device into a computer and move the pictures onto that computer to see if the computer will recognize them. If not they are corrupt.
    As far as the device, There seems to be a problem saving the pictures properly, I would recommend reloading device software through BlackBerry desktop software.
    Good Luck and let me know if I can further assist you.

  • Don't see the green rectangle when taking photo, 2. How can I set up viber on my iPad

    1.When taking photo with this iPad, I don't see the green rectangle. My friend told me that in order to take a clear picture, you need to see the green rectangle. When I take a picture of myself, then I see it. Why is that?
    2. How can you set up Viber? Does Viber can make long distance call back to US when I am out of the country? For example: if I am in Hong Kong, I want to make a call back home to a US phone #, is there any charge. What about SMS? The people I call or SMS have to be on Viber also?
    How can I see your response? Are you going to email me? My email address is [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Christine

    Have you checked Skype's website regarding the ability to do this with their iPad app?

  • Blackberry rear camera shows rainbow.

    My Z10's rear camera does not work. It only shows horizontal colourful lines. When I take a picture it shows rainbow lines as well. Please help! Is there anyway to fix it?

    Hi,
    You can either download the BlackBerry Virtual Expert from BlackBerry World or go into Help and select Testing, which will allow you to use BlackBerry Virtual Expert without downloading it. In the BlackBerry Virtual Expert (BBVE) you can test each feature in your BlackBerry Z10. Test the front & rear cameras, if one or both are at fault. You could try a software update or reload to see if that helps if it does, then I suggest you contact your point of purchase as they are responsible for repairs and replacements.

  • My iPhone 5 camera gives a blurred image when taking photos with the device, how can i fix that

    i have had my iPhone 5 for almost a year now and have been suffering from this problem for quiet a while now, when taking pictures with my iPhone 5 the result is a blurred image, i dont know why the focus of the image is so bad !

    MAke sure teh problem is not do to camera shake by holding it firmly on a solid surface and taking a picture of something in the 10-20 foot range.  If that rules out shake, and the image is blurred, take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar and have it examined.  Backup all of your content in iCloud in case the verdict is a replaement iPhone, they can resore your content from an iCloud backup.

  • Pink spot in center of screen when taking photos with iphone 3G camera

    I've been having a problem with my phone recently. When trying to take pictures using the camera software (or other photo apps) i have a pink spot in the middle of the screen. I've searched and seen other on other sites other cameras have the same issue and has been advised as being a problem with software.
    I've restored the iphone to factory and still have the problem. Updated to the latest firmware and done pretty much everything i can think of to resolve the issue. So basically wondering if other people have had this issue and if there's any possible fix for this?
    Thanks.

    If issuer persist after restore as new iPhone then it indicates a hardware issue and next step would be processing hardware repair through the channels provided to you in your country.

  • My iPad New camera won't focus when taking a picture or video!!

    Today I bought the iPad New. Camera started acting up at once!! Everytime I try to take a picture the camera will not focus making all of my pictures blurry. What can I do to fix this? Anyone else experience this issue? Camera on the front of the iphone works and focuses just fine, however the back camera will only take a clear picture if you're like 6 inches or less away from the target. The tap to focus feature doesn't do anything for it.
    Is that hardware problem or not?
    HELP APPLE!

    Satler-
    I had not seen that.  It appears several people reported trouble, but no solutions.
    Yes, I am sure that being out of focus beyond six inches is a defect.
    There is another problem that you may encounter which is due to noise appearing as grain when there is not enough light for a useable picture.  The "cure" would be to turn on more lights.  The same thing might be true for focusing, which also requires enough light to function.  See if it works better outdoors with daylight illumination.
    Other unusual problems that have been reported for the iPad 3, have responded to a reset (reboot) of the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Only white square box appear when taking photo using camera

    Hi,
    Anybody who can help me. When I take photo, all that appears in photo roll is just empty square box and cannot even save any taken photos.
    Please help

    Hey,
    If you can't see the photos when you tap them, there may be a case or protective film covering the iPhones camera. Try testing after removing any 3rd-party accessories.
    If the issue persists after removing the case try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
    You can reset the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

  • Apps w/ in-app camera crash when taking photo

    Using an iPhone 4S w/ iOS 6.1.3
    Lately I've noticed that I am unable to take a photo in any app that has an in-app camera. As soon as I press the "shutter" button, the apps crash. This has happened with VSCOCam, Instagram*, and my mobile banking app (when trying to take a photo of a check for Mobile Deposit).
    However, the native iPhone camera is behaving normally, with no issues.
    Anyone else having this issue, or any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks!
    * = This is also happening within Instagram when I choose to use a photo from my camera roll. I crop it, apply an effect, and as soon as I touch "Done" the app crashes.

  • Error message when taking photos, and photos are saved as blank files

    Hi, lately when I take photos it comes up with an error message and asks me to rename the file. The other day I took several photos in a row and had to rename them all in order to save them, but when I went back to the photo album on my phone the pictures were blank and wouldnt open properly. I really want those pictures back! Does anyone know whats going on and how to recover them?

    As far as the error message, did you try a battery pull to see if it stops the error message?
    If you are trying to view the pictures with the camera app or the pictures app, try exploring the media card and see if the files are there or not.
