The front facing camera of the iPhone 5 automatically flips/mirrors the image right after it is taken. This is annoying since I would like for the image to look the same way it did while it was captured is there a way to stop this feature?
Right after I take a picture using the camera which is made to face you the image is flipped as soon as it saves to my library. Is there a fix for this? Ive read a few other posts saying apple intended for the software to do this but I was wondering if there was an option to turn this feature off.
I actually tried the steps below due to the error -5000 I had encountered during the previous tries updating my IOS to 5.1.1
"Perform a normal sync and check your iTunes to make sure everything was synced in the right places like the tabs at the top of your "summary" when you plug in your iPhone to iTunes. If everything is there and all the right boxes are checked for the stuff you want to save, then put your phone into recovery mode by keeping it plugged into your computer with iTunes still up and running. Next you want hold down the power button AND the home key button (the big button on the bottom part of your screen) AT THE SAME TIME. Your phone will go thru 4 different screens before you
Can let them go. U will see your normal power off slider screen, then a black screen, then a black screen with an apple logo, then finally a screen with the iTunes logo and a picture of a sync cable below it. Once you see this screen LET BOTH BUTTONS GO but not before you see this screen. Your computer will tell you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, say ok. Then hit the restore button on your iTunes summary screen, it should then ask you if you want to restore from a backup and update, say yes.... And at the end of its restoring and uploading you should have iOS 5!!"
Then it proceeded to a reactivation process... =(

recently recieved a second hand Iphone 4. I was testing the Camera, the rear one worked perfectly fine, however when i pressed the switch button the front facing camera shutter freezed and started flickering. In order to get it back to the rear camera I have to reset my settings. Does anyone know why the front facing camera is doing this and how i can fix it.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1I would ask the person you received it from if they've had this issue.
You can completely close out of the camera, then do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until yo usee the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up. -
My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera. I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.
When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

How secure is the front facing camera?
Is there a way to tell if the front facing camera is on? Since iOS supports multi-tasking. From the security side, is it safe to assume the front camera is always on, unless a tape is covering it?
thanksWhen not using the Camera app, it is not on or running in the background. The Camera app is quit when leaving the app just as it was quit with leaving the app prior to iOS4. Just because an app is in the fast app switching and recently used apps bar or dock does not mean the app is running in the background. Very few apps will run in the background when leaving the app such as a music streaming app and a GPS navigation app. Some 3rd party apps will be placed in a suspended state when leaving the app such as with a game. An app in a suspended state is open but not running in the background - it is suspended or frozen not using any processor cycles or battery. Nothing has changed with the Camera app in this regard with iOS4.

Will screen protector affect the quality of the front facing camera?
I got my screen protector cut out and fitted on my phone in Hanoi very cheaply - looks great. However, they were not able to cut out the hole for the front facing camera as well as I would want it to look like (it was either to big or not round enough, etc). So I ended up with a screen protector covering my front facing camera.
They said this will not affect the quality of the front facing camera. However, Lenovo S90 has a 8MP front facing camera, so I it's not like fitting a screen protector on a 5 year old nokia with VGA front camera. How much do you think this will affect the quality of the front facing camera? Unless I can compare 1:1 pics, its hard to say.
I know the Lenovo original screen protector has a hole for the flash light, camera, and the sensor. So I wonder if anyone at Lenovo ever tested how does screen protector affect the quality of the camera? (Btw. I really do not see a need for a hole for the proximity sensor, it seems to work well with screen protector on it, so why bother?)
P.S. I am currently in KL, JameZ, so I was wondering if Lenovo KL can do a screen protector for S90 and how much would that cost. My screen protector is actually so well done that you could not say there is a screen protector on the phone. I only worry about the quality of the front facing camera.Welcome to Malaysia mate!
I think the best place to get screen protectors in Malaysia (KL) would be Low Yat Plaza. At the 3rd floor, there are heaps of shops selling accessories.
Separately, I use glass based protectors and they are do have holes for Proximity sensor, light sensor and front cam.
I don't think the screen protector would affect the quality of the front cam but rather the light sensor.
Also if the screen protector you use is clear, it should be fine. Take a selfie!

Access to the front-facing camera
Hey guys:
I've downloaded AIR 3.0 and have been anxiously awaiting the front facing camera! Any news on when LCCS will adopt? Or is there a way I can replace the default getCamera() functionality of the publisher? I'm excited after coming back from MAX.
Keep up the good work,
-EricWell, I have not yet had a chance to test it, but with AIR 3, you should be
able to use WebCamPublisher.CameraNameIndex to set the camera to the
front-facing one.
You should be able to do something like:
function setupPublisher(publisher:WebcamPublisher):void {
var camera:Camera;
var cameraCount:uint = Camera.names.length;
for ( var i:uint = 0; i < cameraCount; ++i )
camera = Camera.getCamera( String(i) );
if ( camera.position == CameraPosition.FRONT )
publisher.cameraNameIndex = String(i);
(with apologies for the formatting) -

Audiobooks go in Music, not ibooks. Is the book you are talking about not an audiobook but an .epub or some other format where you read text? -

TS3274 Problems with the front facing camera
Black screen in FaceTime ... Grey grid in photo booth ... Frozen screen when switching to front facing camera in Camera ... Help !!!
Try a Force Restart just in case it is a software/firmware issue. Hold down Home and Sleep until screen goes black and a white Apple logo pops up. Release and let it finish starting up.
If that doesn't help, there may be hardware problems, in which case you would need to take it in for assessment and service. Be sure to have a fresh backup of the phone beforehand, for warranty "repairs" entail a replacement with a blank refurbished unit you would have to Restore to. -
N95 - sensor beside the front facing camera !
please can someone confirm something for me ... does the light sensor on the front of the n95 flash at all once it goes into standby mode .. ie the n73 .. screen completely goes blank after a while and the light sensor starts to flash blue ??? cheers.
chrisNope, not with N95 at least it's just a sensor.
With Version 12.x of the firmware, one of the buttons on the side of the phone (next to the camera shutter button) flashes blue once when it goes into standby, but that's all.

When I am in the Organizer and edit a photo I want to return to the Organizer where I left off. I don't see that as an option--it always returns me to the most recent photo. Is there a fix? Thank you.
Art,
I am trying to follow your very precise steps, and in my case (PSE11 also, Win7), the focus stays on the edited picture after I return from the editor to the Organizer. I am pretty sure that in the previous post describing your situation, I was able to reproduce the problem, but I don't remember on which version. I just tried in 'Folders' view mode to edit in a selected folder, then I clicked 'All media' so that no folder was selected. Same result in both cases.
Even if you prefer to work in folders view, you could take advantage of the ability to use 'albums'. It's a misleading word to describe a selection, a 'collection' of pictures, which you can sort as you want. It's a kind of 'playlist' like with music items. In the organizer, you can select a folder and create an album (even a temporary one) just by choosing 'create instant album'. Suppose you have made an album from a folder or a selection of highlighted pictures to edit. You can order them in date order, import batch or 'custom' order'. Since PSE12 you can also sort them in filename order. You should never lose the 'focus' on your last edited picture when coming back from the editor to the organizer. If the purpose of that album is only to help in organizing an editing session, you simply delete the album (the playlist) if you don't want to keep the list afterward.
I hope someone will be able to confirm how that can happen...
Edit;
I have just read Brian's post.
That may be the difference... -
TS4006 my daughters lost her ipod somewhere while she was out, is there any way we can locate it?
my daughters lost her ipod somewhere while she was out, can it be located?
"find my iPhone" option must be activated on the iPod before loosing it. If you haven't you are out of luck. If you had, then either go to http://www.icloud.com or use the "Find my iPhone" apps from any other iOS device.
The iPod will need to be connected to a wifi network in order to be located. -
Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one? I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
PLEASE HELP!!!FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.
