Why is my 6 plus rear camera taking blurry pictures?

Rear camera was working great for months. Suddenly all pictures are blurry/fuzzy. No damage at all to iphone. Front camera is ok. Is there a software fix? I hope so because I'm thousands of miles from home

  • My iphone 4 rear camera is blurry and i do not know why.

    my iphone 4 rear camera is blurry and i do not know why. i tried to turn it off and on and it still is the same. It is blurry with the flash on/off and even on HDR mode. PLEASE HELP!!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

    Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • Rear Camera taking grainy low-quality pictures -- help?!

    I just bought an Iphone 4 3 days ago. I've started using the camera but all of the pictures seem to come out really low quality, grainy and blurry and when I upload them to flickr they have 765 x 1024 resolution. I've seen lots of pictures other people have taken with iphone 4s and they look really sharp and crisp and have much higher resolutions (2592 x 1936). Is there a way to adjust settings? Do I have a defective camera? Here is a link to the pictures I have taken with the rear camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/scmarvelli/

    Have you taken the protective film off the back?
    There is no adjustment regarding the size of the photo. How are you getting them off the phone? If you drag them off using Camera/Scanner Wizard they will be full res

  • My iPhone 5 is taking blurry pictures.

    My iPhone is taking grainy and blurry pictures the majority of the time. It is quite disappointing since I have used a 4s that I think takes much better pictures.

    To restore, go to Settings > Settings > Rest > Erase All Content and Settings.
    When it starts up again the Setup Assistant will give you an option to restore from your backup.
    Here is a doc on it:

  • After installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4, why is my camera taking purple pictures?

    Immediately after installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4 on 9/22/12, when I attempt to use any of my phone apps, everything is colored in purple tint (see attached image). This includes taking video as well. If I flip the camera to the self facing camera, the purple goes away. This only happens on the front facing camera. I've tried googling this issue and cannot find anyone else complaining about this. Any ideas???

    So, now I'm starting to feel like I'm the one and only lucky SOB to have this purple issue. For anyone who reads this, some more detail. Since posting this thread, I did a full reset from my iphone and that did not resolve the issue. Then, last night I did a full system restore from itunes which took about 4 hours and that didn't solve it either.
    After all this, I started thinking that perhaps there's something wrong with the lens hardware but yesterday for approx 3 full seconds, the camera was normal then there was a stutter and it went purple again. Sounds like a software issue, so I'm really baffled why a system restore wouldn't cure this. Ugh!

  • 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:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
      If still problem, take it back to where you got it fixed. Apple will not help

  • Camera taking random pictures of screen

    New touch user. The camera is randomly taking pictures of screens of applications that I am in. Had less than week, any ideas to correct?

    If you press the home and power button at the same time, quickly, then it takes a screen shot. This is a feature.

  • Is anyone's IPhone 6 camera taking multiple pictures, or is my finger that jumpy?

    Whenever I take a picture with IPhone 6, there are two of them.  Not talking about one in Camera Roll & one in My Photo Stream......I mean there are two exact pics.  Is this happening to anyone, or is my finger that jumpy that I take two pics without knowing it?  Thanks

    Do you have HDR turned on in Camera and in Settings > Photos & Camera > Keep Normal Photo turned ON? If so the Camera wil save both the HDR version and normal version of each photo taken.

  • IPhone taking blurry pictures and videos

    A week ago my iphone 5 started to take blurry fotos. It looks likes auto focusing but fails. Close range pictures have no problem. Example I take a picture of my hand and it comes out clear. I take a picture of a room or outside it comes out blurry. Same with video.
    Yes my camera lens is clean
    Yes all my filters are off. Same problem with other camera apps.
    Yes i have Restored it twice
    I looked into the problem and it appears to be an auto focus problem with the hardware.
    My facetime camera works perfectly.
    What is causing this issue? any tips or ideas on how to fix this annying problem.

    The solution to your blurry iPhone 5 6 is recalibration.
    Step #1 click on the camera
    Step #2 while in camera click on the bottom right on the (3) circles
    Step #3 you are now looking at (9) different options for photo (Mono, Tonal, Noir, Fade, None, Chrome, Process, Transfer, Instant) lets assume your phone was set for "none" so lets choose chrome
    Step #4 Take a few photos.... Now go back to the (3) circles and put it back on "None"
    Step #5 Take photos and verify
    This process may help your camera on your iPhone recalibrate.  If it does NOT work then you need to go into a Apple Store and request the camera be replaced instore repair and is covered by your 1 year warranty.
    Good Luck

  • Iphone 4 all of sudden taking blurry pictures.

    The back lens takes blurry unfocused pictures but the front lens takes crystal clear photos. This issue started after I updated my software but Apple support over the phone said software wouldn't cause that issue. Anyone have any fixes for this problem besides taking it back to the store?

    I don't believe the software would cause the issue, especially if the front lens is working correctly.
    You should triple check the back lens for any oil or other fluid that might distort the image, that is the most likely culprit. If it is a shoftware issue, try a reset/restore.

  • Help!!! iphone 5 rear camera blurry after iOS 7.0.6 update.

    Help!!!! I just updated my iPhone 5 software to iOS 7.0.6. I realized that my rear camera became blurry. It won't focus even if I tap in the middle. There are no physical problems with the camera itself. I checked. Plus the camera is quite fine when the object is near but it can't focus on objects 2 feet away. What should I do?

    If the issue reappears, try the same steps.  Also, you can try restoring as a new device: iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
    If within warranty, it should be free.
    If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.
