Problems with flash photos on iPhone 4s

I have a black iPhone and my friend has a white iPhone, both 4s. I have no problem taking flash photos with mine, but on hers, when the light from the flash LED comes on and then fires at the moment of taking the picture, it is like the light is almost "bleeding" into the white back cover. When you look at it when this happens, the light source is no longer just the small LED, but is now an area of the back cover the size of your fingernail. This seems to be having the affect of causing all the flash photos to look like you have taken the photo in fog. There is a white "cloud" across the entire photo, making it totally unusable as a photo, you cannot see ANYTHING at all. I have made sure there is nothing in front of the lens or flash (fingerprints or scratches) and the camera takes perfectlly fine non-flash photos. My black iPhone 4s does NOT do this. Also tried with and without a case on the iPhone, to make sure it wasn't light catching the edge of the hole on the case and reflecting back to the lens. Does the same thing when the case is completely removed from the iPhone. Any suggestions ?

I have a Black 4S and it has the exact same problem - using flash means pictures in fog - totally unusable. Like you, I removed the case, checked the lens, everything. I have no idea why this happens but it makes flash photograph totally useless. I think I will see if Apple would care to make good a guarantee on it's apparently defective phone camera.

  • Problems with flash photos

    I have a problem with my iphone 5s flash. Everytime I shoot a photo without flash, it works properly. However, when I use flash photos appear with a white mist( no case on). What's the problem?

  • Problems with saving photos to iPhone from email

    I received an email with a photo attachment... about 3MB file size. First of all, if I zoom all the way in to see more detail, the email application crashes. So if I am careful to not zoom ALL the way in, it's fine.
    I have tried to save the image to the iPhone at least 5 times. The first time, nothing happened. I tried again, there was no downloaded photo IN the camera roll album, but the album preview was turned into the photo that I was trying to download. The third time I successfully downloaded the photo into the camera roll album, but it was the blurriest image I have ever seen. It was as if the album preview icon was enlarged to fit my iPhone screen. Horrible. I tried again, got the same result. Now, I'm back to the original problem. Image doesn't save, but the preview icon changes.
    What is going on? This is really frustrating. I've read in other web forums that I am not the only one with poor image quality downloads. What's the point of saving a photo from an email if it's barely recognizable?

    I've got the same thing, and so have many others. It's not you, it's the Firmware - still a lot of missing features and terrible bugs. Perhaps Apple will pull their fingers out in the new year and sort everything out once and for all.

  • I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message  saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)"   more........ .

    Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
    I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
    "Unable to to assemble  calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
    How can  I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
    Thank you for your help.   

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    By the way, alcohol based hand sanitisers work too.
    Don't overapply it in one go though. You'll have to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
    One final tip, after its dried, I'd recommend you to leave your iPhone's home button facing a laptop's vent just to bake it a little drier.

    i have a problem with mms in my iPhone 5s when m trying to send MMS then a message appears on the screen 'cannot send messageMMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send this message' but in settings there is no setting available to inable MMS in message settings

    Had the same problem. Have you checked your Cellular Data Network MMS fields? You should write there your MMS settings (APN, username, password, mmsc, mms proxy and mms max message size). You can get the data from your carrier. After that you could need to restart iPhone.  Worked for me.

    Purchasing more Storage on iCloud will not increase the Storage Capacity of your iDevice.
