While using the iPhone camera it may happen that this will turn out out of focus, making it impossible to take pictures. Obviously this is absolutely not appropriate behavior and it is therefore normal to want to seek possible solutions to the problem.
In this guide we will try to list some very useful actions to perform in these cases to bring everything back to normal. In the event that nothing should work, it will be necessary to operate through technical assistance and probably with physical repair.
Close and reopen the camera app
When the problem occurs on a single application, the first thing to do is obviously to close it to allow the system to restart it correctly. To "close" obviously means from multitasking and not just go back to the iOS home.
To do this, simply click quickly twice on the home button, on iPhones with home button, or swipe from bottom to top and freeze for a few moments in the center of the screen on iPhones without a home button. Then you will need to “flip” the camera app screen upwards.
Restart iPhone
Like any other piece of technology or computing, one of the first things you should try to solve a software problem is restart the device. The shutdown procedure varies according to the iPhone in possession, since for those with the home button you will need to hold down for a few moments on the right side button and that for all the others it will be necessary to follow a precise combination (article below).
Once turned off, it will be enough wait 10/15 seconds and immediately after turn it on again with the dedicated side key.
Physical solutions
What if the problem isn't software-related? In fact, it is not excluded that the lens is dirty or fogged up for some reason. Before getting alarmed, therefore, we recommend that you turn the iPhone over and check that the lenses are free and clean.
Another "physical" factor to check is the cover. In many cases, especially if they are very thick, certain cases could interfere with the shot, making it blurry and unusable. This mainly happens with the use of the flash. For this reason, it may be useful to remove the cover and try taking pictures.
Update iOS
Another operation that is generally not lacking when faced with possible software problems. The system update, in addition to fix any bugs, also includes restarting the iPhone, procedures that together could certainly bring excellent results.
To check for updates and possibly run them, just open the app "Settings", continue with "General", click on "Software update" and wait for the information to load.
Reset system settings
Within the iOS settings there is a useful option to restore all settings to factory conditions. This is not a total system restore and for that reason there will be no data lossthe. However, you may need to re-connect all Bluetooth devices, connect to Wi-Fi networks with a password, and change any custom settings previously.
- Open the app "Settings"
- click "General"
- Go down and continue with "Reset"
- Conclude with "Reset settings"
Restore in DFU mode
In the event that none of the previous operations were to bring favorable results and before bringing the iPhone to assistance, all that remains is to try to perform a forced recovery via DFU mode. Also in this case the operation changes according to the device in possession, but in all cases you will need a computer to connect it to.
As mentioned several times while driving, the problem could obviously derive from physical damage to the photographic module, damage that can only be repaired in an Apple vitrified service center.
