The rear camera of my iPhone is blurry

I recently dropped my Iphone 4 in water but I put it in rice and left it in sunlight over night and everything works great except for the rear camera. Everytime I try to take a picture it turns up super blurry and can not focus. The only way a picture will show up sharp is if I'm taking the picture up close. How would I fix this?

Yo can't fix it; your phone is water damaged. If you have AppleCare+ you can get it replaced for $49. Without AppleCare+ it will cost $229.

Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?

If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

Up to now I was not able to fix the rear cxamera on my iPhone 5

I would be very thankful to anyone who can help me how to restore the rear camera in my Iphone 5.

No one here can help you. If your phone is no longer under warranty, a third-party repair shop will most likely be your best bet. You can't mail the phone to Apple, in the US, as Apple does not accept international shipments. You could mail it to a friend/relative, in the US, & they could take it to an Apple store for you. Some Apple stores repair iPhones. Otherwise, you're looking at an out of warranty replacement.
Good luck.

Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
Do a
Reset: 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: You will not lose any data
If problem persist, make an appointment with genius bar for evaluation.

I dropped my iPhone 5s (with a otter box) and the rear camera just stopped working. It also now starts to over heat near the rear camera and the battery drains very fast.

I dropped my iPhone 5s on the floor on accident. Of course I have a otter box on it, but when i picked it up, the rear camera stopped working. Also the area around the rear camera started to overheat. I was so hot that it you touch it it will burn you. The battery also started to drain very fast.

You broke it. That seems pretty obvious. A case, including the otter box, is not a magical force field that can protect your phone from the force of gravity.
make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269.

My iPhone 5 shows the flashlight icon but in a shadowed way, as if it is disabled. Also the rear camera is not working. The iOS version is 7.1.1

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

HT4623 I bought iPhone 4S from Kurdistan Iraq while I worked there now I retired and came back to my country India. Few days ago the rear camera of my phone is not working, it's shutter is not opening. It's less than a year I bought it. What to do now?

First try one of these methodes:
Try to restart your iPhone
Hold the power button and slide to turn off, then turn it on
if you still have the same problem then try the second methode:
Reset Settings of your device:
Settings>> General>> Reset >> Reset All Settings
Make sure you reset only your settings and NOT any other Contents
if you still have the same problem, so it seems to be a hardware issue, take it to the nearest Apple Store.
Kind regards

My camera will not flip from the rear camera to the front. It is the iPhone 5 and I got the ios7. Is there anything I can do

My camera will not flip from the rear camera to the front. It is the iPhone 5 and I got the ios7. Is there anything I can do?

Thank you fablepd,
I tried downloading “Awesome camera”. Seems like a nice App. The front/back switch does not work within that App.
Switching to back camera in the normal Camera App brings up a blurred picture of what the back camera is seeing and freezes the app. Force quitting Camera App does not bring it back to live until after a long time. Problem still persists.
iPhone 5 64GB, iOS 7.0.6.

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 5.1.1

I 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.

The rear camera isn't working on my iPhone 4s

I can access the camera but the only one that works is my front camera. When I open the camera app all i get is a black screen when i try to use the rear camera.

Mine is doing exactly the same thing. The front facing camera is just as good as it ever was! My phone can tell the rear camera isn't working too. SnapChat does not even give an option to turn the camera around to the rear camera, the flashlight app is lighting up the screen like it can tell the flash wont go on and the phone flashlight has it grayed out so I cant even try to use it.
My phone is past the 1 year warrenty so they wont replace it if this is a hardware issue. Restarting and restoring settings is not working.

My rear camera on my iphone 5 no longer works in camera app after ios 7 install

My iphone 5 updated to ios 7 and the new camera app no longer works. Sometimes I can get the front camera to
Show on the app. But the rear camera just shows black. And it won't switch bewtween the two cameras at all
Sometimes. What could this be?

I got the same problem with my iphone 5 rear camera and tried the solutions suggested here but it did not work.
The camera application which came with ios7 is frozen as soon as it opens. I does not take photos or switch between cameras.
I have been able to use the front camera with Snapseed, QR reader . however no application is able to open my rear camera.
I am not sure but it can related with the application updates either ios7 or the camera applications already installed on our iphone. Uninstalling those apps which has access to camera and rebooting may solve the problem. This is just an idea !

Is it possible to fix or replace the rear cam of my iTouch?

The rear camera of my iPod Touch 4th Gen cracked and now it's all blurry when I use the camera app. It's basically useless now. Does apple repair repair this kind of damage? If yes, how much will it cost me? I'm from the Philippines BTW. Thanks for your replies.

Essentially what you are looking for is that 13.0.5 and 13.0.9 are side by side compatible. Unfortunately, they are not. The same goes for CR 2011 (v. 14.0) and CR 2013 (v. 14.1)..
My main question would be; why is replacing the SP 5 runtime with SP 9 runtime an issue?

Hi there bananas321,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
