My rear camera will not focus on my iPhone 6plus, I updated to 8.2 today to see if it fixed it but it didn't, what is the reason for my camera to just stop working?

My camera doesn't focus anymore, I didn't drop it or get it wet either. The front camera still works like it should. I even updated my phone to 8.2 today and still it didn't fix the problem.

Hello Jeremy76504,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are having an issue with the camera on your iPhone not focusing as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article. 
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Your photos are blurred or out of focus
If your photos are blurred, out of focus, or have dark spots, try these steps:
Make sure that the camera lens is clean. If you need to clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
With iPhone 6 Plus, a metallic case or magnetic lens could interfere with optical image stabilization. If you have a metallic case or magnetic lens attachment, try taking a picture without it. Then compare the quality.
Adjust the focus by tapping on the person or object in the preview screen. You’ll see the screen pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as the camera adjusts. In photo mode, try to stay steady when adjusting the focus. If you move too far in any direction, the camera will automatically refocus to the center. In video mode, you can adjust the focus before you begin recording.
If the color seems too bright, or you see double-exposures of moving objects, make sure that HDR is set to Auto or Off. Tap HDR at the top of the screen to choose a different setting.
Have a great day,
Joe

    I updated to 8.1.3 and my rear camera will not focus.   I erased and reinstalled and still have the problem.  Any advice?

    Hello jonesrob,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that your photos and video taken with the rear camera on your iPhone are not in focus after updating to iOS 8.1.3.  When you restored your iPhone, did you restore from a backup?  If so then I would like you to please restore to the factory settings by following the directions in the article below.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If you had already restored to the factory settings and the issue persists, then it's time to seek service for your iPhone.

  • I have an iphone 4 and my camera will not focus.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have an iphone 4 and my camera will not focus when I try to take a picture or a video.  Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with it?

    Hi there jeri289,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    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.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-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. You can also tap to readjust focus while 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.

  • LG 3G ... camera will not focus

    I recently started having a problem with my camera. All the pictures I now take are very blurry. Its like the camera will not focus. Lens is cleaned and does not have any scratches or damage. Front face camera works perfect. Anyone have any idea what could be the issue?

        Hi SMoores10- Let's get that shutter snapping again! Does the camera respond to focus when taping the screen? Are you using the default Camera application? Does the camera respond the same when taking pictures with other apps like Instagram, Snapchat or 3rd party Camera app?
    Thank you,

    Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

    The audio out (headphone jack) stereo just stopped working. On all my head phones (which work fine on other devices), macbbok pro sound is only coming through the left speaker. Anything I can do about this, aside just bringing it in to the shop? btw: audio output is set to middle.

    Before taking to the shop, try Reset PRAM.

  • My camera will not focus close up, My camera will not focus close up

    When I want to take a close up of say a document or use my laser reader it will not focus.
    Any suggestions what could be causing it?

    Hello Robert,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone camera.  I recommend following steps 3-8 below when experiencing an issue like this:
    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.

  • Camera will not focus

    suddenly my iphone 4s will not focus on the main camera ?

    I have the same issue, looks no one in Apple can help us

  • IPhone 4S camera will not focus

    My iPhone 4S camera is not focusing, it is the camera on the back. One time I tried to take a photo of a document on paper and it just wouldn't focus on the writing, I turned my phone off and on and then it seemed to be working and focusing again. Recently today I tried doing the same thing but it wouldn't work. I tried turning it off and on but still no luck, a friend told me it was because of the 6.0.1 update that it wasn't focusing but I'm not sure. If someone can help me out that would be really appreciated, thanks

  • What's the reason for " 'Writing XMP Metadata' did not complete successfully

    I rightclicked an image and selected "save metadata to file" and got this not-so-very-informative error message. What could be the cause? The file is there and it is not write protected.
    Adobe - what about giving some more information when LR encounters errors?
    Win XP, LR 1.3.1

    While read only is the most likely cause, I have been trying to track down a similar problem which so far I can only equate to the creation time of the file ending in 00.
    For example, I have a file taken at 6/13/2006 1:00:00 PM
    If I do Metadata -> Edit Capture Time...
      and set the time to be 6/13/2006 1:00:01 PM
    Then click twice on the Resolve Conflicts button for Metadata, the second one works.  Both times I tell it to overwrite the metadata on disk.  My assumption is that the data processing logic has issues reading in entries like:
       2006-06-13T13:00:00-08:00
    I would even go so far as speculating it treats them as just the day and drops the hour / minute portion.  The reason for this conjecture is that I stumbled on this issue when exporting images would occasionally have 2006/06/13 12:00AM as the timestamp and when I checked which ones had problems, they all were taken at 00 seconds into the minute.
    Henrik, if you are still having this problem, does the file happen to have a 00 second creation timestamp?  If so, try changing it by a second and I would be curious if you it starts working for you too.
    Cheers,
    John

  • I have a fairly new mac book pro with retina display- I have not tried installing anything other OS on it. In spite of that yesterday when I turned it on, I got the error: no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key. what is the reason for this?

    I swithced it on by clicking on options when I start up and then clicked on Macintosh HD. the other option was a question mark and network drive.
    Is there a way to ensure it never happens again, what is the cause for this problem, if I need to uninstall some application, i am happy to do it as long as I know what is causing this conflict.
    many thanks!

    Something is not making sense here.
    You claim this is a brand new machine and you have not tried to install Windows or Boot Camp.
    Then why would you ever even go into System Preferences > Startup Disk and choose Macintosh HD? It should have automatically booted into Macintosh HD.
    You're probably going to have to reinstall Mac OS X.

    My Camera on my iPhone 4s will noty come on

        Here I am to save the day jlcarp! Let's get your camera working properly on your phone. May I ask what model device do you have? Can I assume that there isn't any liquid/physical damage on the device? Were there any changes made to the device since you were last able to use the camera successful? As you share the details then we can investigate.
    Thank you…
