iPhone camera error is black

If it is not hidden, the black iPhone camera error may come from the device's software or hardware. To check for errors, do the following:

- Access an application with video calling feature such as Facetime application, then try calling someone else, check both the front and rear cameras to see if your image is displayed or not. If the camera in the application still works well, your camera may just have a software error such as a software conflict or a lag.

So once you have checked that this is a software error, turn off all applications on the device, then restart the device and check again to see if the iPhone camera is working normally or not.

If the iPhone camera error is still black after doing the above method, the device's hardware is probably having problems. In this case, it is best to bring your iPhone to an Apple Authorized Warranty Center so that a technician can check and repair it for you.

Photos are blurry and out of focus

When taking a photo, you tried to focus but the image is still blurry or out of focus, perhaps the camera is having an error. The reason why the camera on your iPhone is blurry could be because your camera is dirty, dusty, or has fingerprints. Therefore, first clean both the front and back cameras of your iPhone, then reopen the Camera app to see if the error has been fixed or not.

Note that you should wipe the iPhone camera with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth to avoid scratching the lens surface and leaving lint on the lens.

In addition, if you use a case or other accessory for the camera, you should remove it, then check the photos taken before and after removing it to see if there is any difference in image quality. If, after removing it, the camera gives a clearer image, it means you have solved the problem of blurry iPhone camera.

Photos flip automatically

Photos taken on the iPhone often automatically flip horizontally or vertically when viewing photos in the photo library. When you encounter this problem, you can fix it by opening "Control Center" and then turning off "Rotation lock" mode. Next, reopen "Photo Library" to see if the images are back to normal.

The Camera app is not working properly

Faulty iPhone cameras that cannot function normally, such as freezing and not being able to take photos, or freezing when switching between functions in the application, are also problems that iPhone users often encounter.

The cause of this error is likely because you have enabled the application's privacy restriction feature. Try turning off this feature to see if it solves the iPhone camera error not working properly.

Flash cannot be turned on

Do you need to take photos in low light conditions and need the help of flash but can't turn on the flash on your phone? Then immediately do the steps below to see if the flash works again.

- First, check if the flash feature in Camera is in Off mode or not. Make sure the flash is set to Auto or On to be able to use it.

- After that, exit the Camera application, then go to Control Center and turn on the flashlight to see if it works or not.

- When used, the flash will cause the camera and lamp to heat up. If your iPhone is overheating, the flash may have been temporarily disabled. You need to wait for the camera to cool down before you can use the flash.
