Resolution of rear camera? Screen memory?

I am very interested in iPad2. Two questions: 1. Does anyone know the resolution of the rear facing camera? 2. Does anyone know if the unit has enough video memory to zoom an image much.
The reason for the second question is that I currently have been using an iPad1 and if you are looking at a full screen image and do a zoom with your fingers it almost immediately pixellates, and that disturbs me. It does not happen with a laptop because there is more screen memory. I wonder if iPad2 has fixed that?

This I have found to not be true. The iPad1 does not appear to be able to hold a large image in its video memory, so the limitation is the device and not the image for large images. If, for example, you go to web site that allow you to download images of different resolutions to open up you will find that you are straining your device to be able to see even an image only slightly larger than the screen. Try it yourself. Simply email yourself an image that you know to be large and you will be surprised how you can not zoom in on it much.

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.

Why is my iPod 5 rear camera screen black?

I cracked it a while ago, but both cameras (front and back) still worked.
And then I tried fixing it myself with a new screen, but i pressed too hard on the screen which messed it up, but both cameras still worked.
So then i took it some place to get it fixed, which i payed a lot for, and he fixed the screen but then when I tried to use the camera it was black.
My mom took it back and he said he wanted my password for it, but i wasn't there so i wasn't gonna just give it to him. He said he needed to look in the settings or whatever. But i wasn't there so i wasn't gonna hand out my password over phone. So i just took it back and looked at all the settings and nothing would change anything.
I tried restarting a couple times and i reset it. When i reboot it sometimes the front camera works but the back doesn't. Its either just black or it freezes.
I just updated to iOS 7.1.2 so maybe its a software glitch? And my flashlight doesn't work either.
If i can't get this figured I'm gonna be really mad because Apple products keep messing up so please help.
Im not paying anymore money trying to fix this after so many times. If there are any free camera apps just like the normal one could you please tell me. Im honestly just done with apple products. They all break after like 2 years.
P.S. I have no case on it so the case isn't blocking it or anything.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem, take it back to where you got it fixed. Apple will not help

So I have an iPhone 4s, and the main/rear camera is cracked.

Okay so here is the story, I have a black otter box that I bought at the same time I purchased my iPhone 4s back in February. Today I dropped my phone, I have done so many of times (I am a huge klutz) hence the investment in the otterbox, anyway's back to my story. My phone landed face down cool I know it was protected and my screen wasn't going to be cracked, but you always get that oh snap, and heart dropping feeling when this happens. Well it seems that out of the millions of times my phone has been dropped (I have a three year old) Today did in my rear camera screen.. Yeah I know makes no sense fell face flat with an otterbox and my main/rear camera screen has crack, along with going "wonky" when turned upside down. My question is, is this covered in my warrenty and will I be able to get it fixed or will I have to replace the whole entire phone? This is my first iPhone so I'm not sure how the processes for these type of things for apple products go.Picture A. Cracked Camera screen.
Picture B. Wonky lines when phone was upside down.

Just to clarify, AppleCare doesn't cover damage. Only AppleCare Plus covers damange (see http://store.apple.com/us/product/S4575LL/A). To purchase an out of warranty replacement, back up your phone and make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store. Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately from your iPhone backup (such as by syncing them with iCloud: Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On).

Dark spot on screen when using rear camera and phone shutting down randomly at 20% power

I probably already know the answer to my question but my nearest apple store is 2hrs drive away so just want to know has anyone experienced the same issues and if so what was their resolution?
I noticed last week when i went to use the camera that the phone randomly shut off even though I had near 20% batter power, it then would not switch on again without me plugging it in to charge. I am always careful with charging and discharging the battery, ive done resets and a restore but the issue is still there snd today i noticed the dark spot on the screen and subsequently on the photo when using the rear camera - its definitely not there when using the front facing camera.
If i go to the apple store will they swap it out (still plenty of warranty)? I cant do it by post as I need my phone at all times and dont have a cc to do the express service return!!!
Thanks in advance

I've had this same problem. I called apple about it and they said that it seems to be a current problem with a lot of peoples phone. The only question that I have, if anyone can answer, is that Apple is supposed to send me a new phone to replace mine but I am wondering if it will be the 3G or the old model, which is what I already have. If anyone knows then let me know, but Chennie, just call apple and they will help you out.

Can you get just your rear camera lens replaced or do you have to get the entire back screen replaced?

I recently dropped my phone for the first time, and neither of my screens cracked but my rear camera lens did get scratched badly. I can't use it at all to take picture. It just shows up as a fuzy screen when I open my rear camera. My iPhone isn't even a year old yet. Now, I need to know if I can get just the rear lens replaced or if I have to get the entire back screen replaced? I also need to know if anyone knows how much either of these would cost? Or is it free with the one year warrenty?

You would have to get the rear glass panel replaced, it is one part. Normal warranty does not cover accidential damage. You can do it yourself for 50$:

How to change the capture resolution of CaptureDevice and toggle between front and rear camera

Hi. I'm using Visual Studio 2013, and the Windows Phone App template. I'm using the Microsoft.Devices / CaptureVideo API to capture video. I now want to set the resolution to capture the video in a specific(available) resolution. How do I do that?
Code snippet reference to API:
CaptureVideo vcDevice = CaptureDeviceConfiguration.GetDefaultVideoCaptureDevice();
and I also want to put a button there to toggle between front and rear camera. If I click the button, and the rear camera is currently active, the front camera must become active and vice versa. How do I do that with this API?
Thank you.

[4S] Replaced what I thought was faulty rear camera, still getting black screen! Help please?

I will try to describe the problem as well as I can; I've seen quite a few posts about this problem already but I am yet to find anything that really helps.
Basically, I thought my rear camera had a hardware problem as when I opened the camera app all I would get was a black screen. Despite this I was still able to use the front camera without a problem. Thinking it was the camera I ordered a replacement which I have since installed and I am still getting the same issues as with the old camera.
I'm comepletely stumped, I've looked at many forum posts etc. about this and have yet to see anything that is helpful.
Is this a software issue?

Nobody here would know. You took it unto yourself to repair a non-user servicable item instead of going to an Apple store or authorized servce provider when you had the original problem. Your best bet now is to go and do a Google search or take it to a third party (unauthorized) service shop. Apple will never touch that phone.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

Rear Camera has horizontal white line across screen

Hi, I was given a playbook for Christmas and I love it but it has developed a horizontal white line on the rear camera which makes the camera and video unusable. I have customized my Playbook so am reluctant to take it back to the shop. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I just accept that I'm not going to be able to use the rear camera or video? Hope you can help as in every other way my Playbook is perfect. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If a Playbook is to be sent for repair, especially with an RMA, it is important to back up data files by WiFi sharing as a desktop software backup may not work if the unit is replaced with a refurb or new unit.

iPad 2 Camera - Doesnt Work
Posted: Mar 27, 2011 5:18 PM
            Reply          Email
So I got the iPad 2 last Wednesday and tried facetime. It seemed to work then froze, but I gave up as it was still new and I was still figuring things out. Anyway i'd use the camera a few times (maybe 3) and made maybe 2 quick videos, nothing big. I never use the camera much. Today I went to videotape my nephew and clicked the camera screen, but it wouldnt leave the shutter screen. If i restore it to default, it works. But as soon as I sync my iPad up so it restores all my settings, the camera freezes. Obviously facetime and photobooth don't load either.
I think a few people have this issue, what was the resolution? if i take it to apple will they give me a new one on the spot or send it in for repairs, and im without it for a while?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
If when you restore the iPad to the factory settings the camera works, then there is nothing wrong with the iPad, you have something corrupt in the backup that you are using to restore your previous settings. I would delete the backup and start fresh. Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete any and all backups there for the iPad.
Then configure and sync the iPad as if it were new from the box for the first time.

Try this reset. Press & Hold the Sleep/Wake and the Home buttons simultaneously for 10+ seconds. Ignore the red power off slider.

Deleting my backups and starting fresh kinda *****. I'd rather not have to re-do all my settings like email and my apps. Its not that i have a lot of apps, maybe 5 or so I use, but still, its a bit of a pain. I guess I can TRY it... can't hurt right...
I dont want to just delete my backups though, i'll store them somewhere else (i think i remember where apple stores them) and copy them over later if i need to.
Worth a shot, better this then my iPhone which has a ton of apps I use for work. Im still setting the iPad up for my work stuff. Will let you know how i make out.
BTW the home/power reset didnt work, ive obviously tried this many times, and just now while writing this. Same issues.

IPhone 5s rear camera issues

Okay, so I just got my new 5s last weekend and the rear camera already does not work. Upon opening the camera app, the screen goes black and the app closes. When trying to get to the camera by sliding up from the lock screen, the apple logo appears and the phone restarts by itself. Multiple hard restarts and restores have been unsuccessful. The flashlight is also not available for use. Any Advice?

If you've tried a system restore and such basic troubleshooting, why not just take it back to the store for more troubleshooting or a replacement? It's obviously not working properly. Like you said, you got it last weekend.

Resolution of rear camera? Screen memory?
