Rear camera doesn't focus after update iOS 7

Rear camera doesn't focus beyond a few inches since I did the iOS 7 (and 7.0.2) updates. Front camera still works.
Both iCamera and Camera+ are affected.
Have done phone reset.
Anyone?

I did a hard reset (press and hold the home button and the power button until the unit shut off) and when it came back on, the camera focus works again. Halle-freakin-lujah!

    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.

    If you had already restored to the factory settings and the issue persists, then it's time to seek service for your iPhone.

  • Auto-lock doesn't work after updating iOS 6.

    I'm using iphone 4s. After updating iOS 6, the auto-lock function doesn't work anymore. I left it for 10 minutes and when i came back, the screen was still on although the auto-lock time is 2 minutes. I tested many times, tried to reboot but it didnt help. But the screen auto-lock is still working. Does anyone have problem like me and know how to fix it ?

    Are you using Assistive Touch?

  • IPad 2 front and back camera is not work after update iOS 7.0.4 it gives like the resolution is not adjusted

    After updating my ipad 2 to iOS 7.0.4 , front and back camera is not working it gives like very small dots or dash. I did restore from iTunes and reset by holding on the home and sleep button, I also tried to close the app from the task bar but still all trials didn't solve the problem.

    I haven't heard of this before so I doubt it's a bug. Probably something happened during the 7.04 download.
    Backup your iPhone to iTunes and restore it as a new iphone, then restore from the backup. This will give you a fresh copy of iOS 7.04.

  • Video camera doesn't work after installing IOS 7

    I can't use video camera with iPad 2 after upgrading to IOS 7.
    Anyone knows why?

    Nice one, Apple. Swipe to change between camera and video and disable tapping on the word "video" because tapping makes sense and is easy enough for even a 5 year old to understand. Don't be Microsoft and make things harder to use. Keep the swipe if it satisfies your sense of feeling all modern and relevant, but put back the tap on "camera" and "video" so we don't have to Google it to figure it out and leave irate notes in your product forums. Missed a really cute video of my toddler singing thanks to you.

  • Photos in Camera 360 got deleted after updating iOS 8.3

    I've backed up my iPhone 5 before restoring and updating it. After it was updated, I restored the backup.
    But after using for a few hours I realized that my album in Camera 360 was empty.
    Is there any way to get the photos back other than restoring the backup?

    I didn't use much folders until recently.
    They should at least mark them in camera roll that they are in an album and ask if I don't want them deleted.  This would be an easy feature to add with using Photo on mac in the least.   How am I suppose to tell which ones to delete from camera roll and which ones not too that I have specifically saved to albums?  Who has time to painfully go through thousands of photos? 

  • IPad doesn't work after updating iOS

    Trying to help my mom with her iPad 2 but I'm in US, she's in Canada so will describe the best I can based on what she's told me. She was trying to update an app, received a message about terms and conditions. Now it no longer works properly, seems to be stuck on the terms page and cannot navigate anywhere. Icons no longer exist. Basically not usable. Any ideas? We've already tried turning it on and off and still the same screen shows up.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • After update iOS 5.1 iPhone 4 camera on lock screen doesn't open the app

    After update iOS 5.1 iPhone 4 camera on lock screen doesn't open the app

    Tonebox,
    I couldn't get my camera to work smoothly
    the 1st ten times,or so,I tried to open it.
    As it turns out,it isn't as pressure sensitive as I have
    grown accustomed to, and required a gesture that feels
    rather awkward, by comparison to the ones I have been using.

  • Camera won't focus after 8.1.3 update

    I updated my iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 8.1.3 today and now the rear camera is permanently focused very close to the phone. I can't change the focus using auto focus, tapping the screen, or manually changing the focal length in Camera+.

    Greetings jpewitt,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with Camera issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    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.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

What can i do, please help me, this app is the main reason why a i bought my itouch

    Did you do a restart or a reset?
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
    If that didn't help, you have to write to/wait for the developer to update the software.

  • 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.
