Iphone camera only takes black pictures?

Recently I opened up my iPhone 4 running ios 7.1.2 to find that my camera will only take black photos. Both my iPhones front and rear camera are doing this. My iPhone screen shows that I'm looking at something black even in a well lighted room. Both the camera app and third party camera apps do this.Iphone camera only takes black pictures - 1

What happens when you take a photo outdoors in full sun?

If you get a photo in full sun, that means that the auto ISO feature of your camera is either turned off or has failed.

In either case I would visit the Apple store and have them look at it and see what they can figure out (or your mobile service where you bought the phone)

Did you remove the packing tape from the lenses?

Either both digital sensors or both camera circuits and processor are damaged. Bring the camera to Apple for repair.

  • What's a good camera that records high quality video and takes awesome pictures? I'm going on a trip to the Niagara Falls and my dad asked me to look for a good camera since the one we have is 5 years old and takes very bad pictures. My iPhone takes better pictures than that camera. What's a good camera that both records high quality videos and takes awesome pictures. I don't want a big DSLR camera though, just a small compact camera that I can put in my pocket.
  • What does it mean if a stranger takes pictures of you? So I was at mall today & I was eating at the good court & I noticed this guy was looking at me like A LOT. So I just ignored him & then I glanced at him to see if he was still staring at me & he had his iphone up & pointed directly at me & he was pressing the screen like 5 times then he looked at me & when he saw I was looking at him he smiled & then left. I don't know what he was doing but I hope he isn't a phsycopath. What does that mean?
  • My iPhone camera takes pictures and video backwards? When i go to take a photo or video it'll save backwards and it's also very blurry. I have an iPhone 6 btw.
  • My iPhone 4S takes pictures of my pocket? Sometimes when I put my iPhone in my pocket and I try to change the music volume with my headset's buttons, the volume doesn't change. Then I will take the phone out of my pocket and if I press the home button it displays the camera app. I never get my lock screen, just straight to the camera app. I'm currently running iOS 5.1.1 jailbroken. Anyone know what's happening?
