UPPER HALF OF CAMERA SCREEN IS BLACK

WHY IS THE UPPER HALF OF MY CAMERA SCREEN  on my iPhone 6 BLACK?

Hey janetfromhingham,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, half of the screen is black when using one of the cameras. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

  • The camera screen turning black and locking up.

    I see a lot of people having issues with the camera screen turning black and having to restart phone to fix it.  I have the 6 plus and the screen turns black and locks when taking a second picture on the txt screen.  I have replaced the phone and the new one does the same thing.  I went to the Verizon store and they just scratched their heads.  I have reset the old phone 3 times and restored from my back up which did not help.  I put my sim card in new phone and restored it and it had the same problem.  I thought my back up was the problem so I restored the new phone to new again without using my backup and it worked.  After a few hours of turning off and on every setting I use and many many many factory resets I found the problem.  Whenever the option for "speak screen" is turned on it causes the camera software to glitch and freeze after one picture is taken.  I have verified it on 3 different Iphone 6 Plus.

  • Upper half of video is missing (black screen) - Help!!

    I'm working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I have all updates installed. This is my first time posting and I've only been using CS6 for a few months so I'm still a newbie. That being said here's my dilemma: a project I had worked on yesterday without any issues is now missing the upper half of the video. I didn't have a problem before and this is the first time I'm having to deal with this. For some reason, the problem is only occuring when I use files larger than 1GB. When I switch to a lower quality video file that is 160MB, for example, I don't have the problem of missing the upper half of the video. I also tried exporting to see if the problem gets corrected during the export process but it also comes out missing the upper half of the video. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Iphone 5c does not work rear camera (screen is black) and a flash light since yesterday. Maybe someone knows what happened.

    Yesterday stopped working camera application turns on but the screen is black. It does not work too flashlight. It is gray in the control panel. Maybe somebody know what happened if I need to return my phone service warrants.

    Hello szpryczek,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot issues with your iPhone camera, please follow the steps below.
    Camera
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    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.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    If the issue persists after the previous steps, please click the link below to contact Apple Support.

  • My ipod nano has horizaontal lines through the bottom portion of the screen and the left half of the screen is black, the right half of the screen changes from red, to blue to orange, etc.  Any idea how to fix that?

    White stripes suddenlt appeared at the bottom of the screen on my ipod nano a few weeks ago.  I figured it was just from use and that it is an older model- I could still see through them and use the device.  Yesterday, only the left half of the screen was visible, the other side was black.  This morning, the stripes are still there, all the way across the screen on the bottom, the left side os black and the right sise is red most of the time.  Any ideas on what happened and how to fix it?

    Hello scgreco,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPod nano screen had stripes and was partially black.  I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
    I recommend following the steps in this troubleshooting assistant for your iPod nano model:

  • OS2 - Camera screen completely black

    I had some issues with the camera giving me gray bars while I was on the beta. I upgraded and saw the same thing so I did a security wipe. Now all I get is a completely black screen. The pull down menu does show up, but there is nothing in the app window at all. Restarting hasn't helped either. Any idea how I can get my camera back?

    I did another security wipe and OS load from Desktp Manager. This time it loaded  1 component instead of 69. When it was done, I also had my default wallpaper, video, and music back that were not present after the OS load I did at work yesterday. The camera didn't work right after the load though. I've rebooted several times since then.

  • It wont let me click on the upper half of the screen

    it will let me click on the bottom half of the webpages but not the top! it just started doing this!

    Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • Camera screen black, touchscreen buttons mostly unresponsive, though screenshots work

    My camera screen is black/blank and the touchscreen buttons on it are not responding or very temperamental.  Screenshots work.  I can only very occasionally view the camera roll through 'camera'.  This has happened before when storage full but I always get a message too, this hasn't happened this time and the storage isn't full.  Tried to use camera via Videostar which brings up a message 'in remote camera mode' and 'waiting to join multi-camera group' this may be usual for videostar? It's an app my daughter uses but I think it might be connected to the camera not being in use.  When searching for remote camera mode I found apps that can be used to make iPhones into security cameras and wondered if it's possible that someone could have connected to my phone without my knowledge? Any suggestions gratefully received.  Leacamera screen is black/blank and the touchscreen buttons on it are not responding or very temperamental.  Screenshots work.  I can only very occasionally view the camera roll through 'camera'.  This has happened before when storage full but I always get a message too, this hasn't happened this time and the storage isn't full.  Tried to use camera via Videostar which brings up a message 'in remote camera mode' and 'waiting to join multi-camera group' this may be usual for videostar?

    Greetings leaoneill1,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that when you open the Camera application on your iPhone you see only a blank black screen. I understand that you are using camera applications that were downloaded from the App Store as well, but for troubleshooting purposes, please troubleshoot with the built-in Camera application. To troubleshoot this situation, please use the attached article as a resource.

  • N97 camera screen goes and stays black after 10 mi...

    Since a month im the owner of an N97. Cost a lot of money. From the start the camera-screen goes black within ten minutes after booting. And it stays black, so the camera functionality is completely gone. The primary and the secondary neither work. I did hard resets, firmware upgrades, soft resets and i brought it to a Nokia service center twice. The second time they returned it after 2 1/2 weeks (today) but the problem is still there. Now I just wished i bought an iPhone instead, and its driving me mad...What to do? Like I said, I already went to the Nokia service centre twice... and did all the firmware upgrades.

    Almost the same here, with an N97, I found that I have to close the "so called" lens protector after the "processing image" disappear, and or close it when not processing anything, also I have to close it before it goes to stand by and that way the camera will work fine.
    Also don't open and close and open the "lens protector".
    In my case with a turn off and then on the camera comes to live again, is a pain, but not as bad as hard reseting all the time.

  • White screen with black lemon-shaped blotches over purple "linen" like pattern on start-up

    Computer was working without problem at shut down. When I tried to power up this AM I got a split scene (diagonal) with what may be best described as a jersey cow on the left and upper half of the screen and a light purple screen with green, black and vertical and horizontals lines. The lines show up on the white backgrouns also.  I have tried several restarts using both battery and power cord. I have also tried f10 depressed - no changes.

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and issues a white screen with blotches on the startup screen. Try performing a hard reset.  When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices. You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.  I hope this helps you out.
    Thanks.
