Z10 Camera Issues - Black image, no pics

During use of the rear camera on my Z10, the live image started to show streaks of lines in blue, green, or red, with the rest of the image being a shade of one of those colors.  The pictures taken would look like these distorted images. I restarted the device and also pulled the battery.  Initially no help, though after another restart, the live image now shows black, as if the camera has a lens cap over it.  When trying to take a pic (even though a black image), it clicks as if it’s taking pic, but nothing is being saved.  I’ve swapped options between saving to device and SD card (and removing the card), no change.  So at this point, black image on live view and no pics recorded/saved when taken.  Front camera seems ok.  Any thoughts?

might be a bad camera, you could back it up and wipe it to prove that it is not the OS

  • E72 Camera issue (black screen)

     Hi everyone, I am having a problem with the camera in my E72. When I try to use it, it givesme a blank, black screen (no image is visisble as through the lens). Although the right hand side of menu does appear on screen if I press the button, nothing can be selected. It is as if the camera application gets hanged.
    I recently updated firmware that resolved the issue. However, it was hardly for 2-3 days and it came back and am unable to use camera again.
    Anyone faced same issue, or tried something to resolve it?

    The "Ultimate Solution" is not the hard reset because i tried it with the "bloated other files" problem and this camera issue, and it didnt cure the problem.
    I just got the headsup from Nokia Care Point that my device couldnt be fixed in a reasonable time so am being sent a replacement. so i'll advice if your device is still warranty  covered, then send it to a  Nokia Care Point.
    The Engineers couldnt fix it in two weeks so its obvious even a software revamp wont fix it, let alone a hard reset.
    Cheers

  • Built in camera shows black image

    Intel iMac - camera shows black
    Photo booth is working, but camera shows a completely black image.
    When I click the "camera", it goes through the motions of taking a picture and saves the picture, but the picture is of course completely black.
    I tried rebooting, no change.
    I tried in Comic Life, still black image.
    Nothing is covering the camera lens.

    Repair permissions & your disk from your Tiger DVD. See if that helps any. If not, then suggest that you re-post over in the iSight Forums where the iSight users hang out.
    Also, since you have an Intel iMac, cross-post over in the the Intel-based iMac Forums where users there have the same model iMac as yourself.
    This area is for G5 iMac issues.

  • Nokia N8, Camera Issue: Black spot

    Saw others have had the same issue.. and tried the "solutions"
    Black spot in same location on every picture / live preview of the image on the camera mode.
    tired cleaning the lens, does not work. Guess its a hardware problem/ faulty lens?
    need a bit of info before i go back to Virgin to get a new hand set

    I just had the same issue appear on my Nokia N8. I looked back in my pictures and it started about two hours ago based on pictures I'd taken (I take a lot!).
    Anyway I searched for the solutions you had referred to and found ones saying a shake of the phone resolves the problem. I tried but to no avail, I still had a dark spot. I read further about explanation of dust or micro-organism (and how this should not be possible as they units are sealed airtight in the factory) and decided that I would knock the phone against my hand (more forgiving than a wall or table) to see if this helped. Lo and behold the dark spot disappeared!
    It is worrying that there may be something falling around in front of the lens of my camera and just hope it does not reappear soon....

  • Z10 Camera issues

    I bought the device on the 17th of Feb, the camera worked for 2 days then it started giving me the error "Camera can't be started". I restared the device, it worked for a day, then it stopped for good. I wiped the device, removed the memory card, even the sim card, nothing helped.
    yesterday i took the device to Lulu ( Abu Dhabi - UAE) where i bought it from, and they wanted to convince me that the device might be repaired, which i couldnt believe, i will not accept a device that costed me 2600 AED 6 days back, to be opened and repaired!!!
    i clearly requested that the device has to be replaced with a new one, but then they told me that it is not in their hands, as the device goes to EMS in Dubai. I talked to EMS call center, the agent told me that as it is only 6 days, if there is any fault and a part needs to be replaced, then the device will be replaced, but I explained to him that yesterday was the 6th day and that the device might reach them on the 7th or 8th day, depends on when Lulu will decide to send it to them, and all what he said is that this is their policy!!!!!! so I might now get back a repaired device, not good customer service at all!!!!!!

    I have the same issue on my iPhone 5s
    I've closed the app and re-booted the phone several times but it did not resolve the issue.
    Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
    Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
    I'm not sure what else to do.

  • IPHONE 5: Saving images to camera roll from an email results in a black image

    I have emailed myself a couple images  (medium res .jpgs) and when I open the email the colors are overly bright. When I then go to save them, they save as a very dark black image with a little bit of a blue outline of the image. Anyone know what the problem is? Thanks in advance!
    PS these images are illustrations I have made in illustrator/photoshop. Not sure if that matters though.

    Depending on the format of the video you may or may not be able to do this.
    If its a supported format, like m4v or similar, you can tap and hold on the icon in the email and a box with options should pop up.  One of them being "Save Video". This will save the video to the camera roll.
    If you don't have the "Save Video "  option you will not be able to save it your camera roll, but still might be able to save it to an App that can play the video by tapping the icon for the App in that same screen.

  • I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed.

    I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

  • Solution to "Black image when adding a watermark in Aperture"

    Hi,
    I read an archived topic about people having issues with adding a watermark to their exported images using Aperture 1.5.2. I think the solution lies with what your current Display color profile (System Preferences > Display > Color) is set to and what color profile you used to create your watermark.
    I created my original watermark using Photoshop CS2 and I believe that the watermark was saved using the sRGB Profle. However, I then calibrated my monitor using a Pantone Huey and it changed the color profile in my System Preferences. So every time I tried to export an image with a watermark from Aperture, I would get a black image with my watermark in the correct spot.
    To solve the problem, I changed my Color Profile to sRGB Profile, then started Aperture. When I exported my image, everything came out properly.
    Hope this is helpful to others.

    I also just ran into this problem...my solution was an issue with the RAW fine tuning.
    Images that used the new RAW fine tuning 2.0 (with Aperture 2) exported watermarks (I used a .psd file) just fine, but when exporting images with RAW fine tuning 1.1, a black box would show up around my watermark. So I migrated my images to RAW fine tuning 2.0 and it fixed the black box issue.

  • Z1C camera issues - manufacturing date? recall?

    Hi, 
    I went through the whole thread about the camera issues.
    Sadly I got a bad phone as well (black version).
    The flash leakage isn't the only problem, the camera looses focus during video shooting as well, and the most bothering thing is the photo quality on regular photos (manual mod, different ISO, whatever..) which is poor even compared to the Galaxy S2 !!
    I was very dissapointed, and it seems the local retailer isn't familiar with the issue..
    I'm willing to wait but I am afraid suffering users will be forgotten and Sony will focus on the Z2/compact/whatever they will release next...
    I read in the xda forums a review that shows much better results from the camera
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663132
    Is it possible that just the first models have this problem?
    Maybe we can figure out from the manufacturing date something?
    Mine was manufactured on Oct. 2013, black version.
    What do you think?
    Thanks !!

    Hi to all Sony fans the camera is actually very good but the thing that screwed it up is the stuperior auto that is **bleep** the owsome hardware under the hood,regarding flash bleeding iam not seeing any bleed,so after testing i found the follwoing results for owsome pics:
    1-iso 50 for shooting 0 to 1 meter far away from the object.
    2-iso 100 for shooting 1 to 2 meter far away from the object.
    3-iso 200 for shooting 2 meter and above.
    or use camera zoom x its not great as manual mode but it is way better than stuperior auto if u want to shoot good photos at great speed in the dark  well its android so there is alternative to any **bleep** app
    for shooting a single face but the focus on face detection,for multiple or large objects but the focus on multiple autofucos
    Down ul find the pics the blured and ugly from stuperior auto the good one are from applying these modes:
