blurry pictures on camera iphone 12 pro

after hours on the phone, the problem was solved. iphone12Pro

Go to Settings >

Camera Settings > Camera Format > Change active setting to Most Compatible not High Efficiency . The pixilation disappeared on enlargement .

Same issue here. Pictures are blurry most of the time with the regular cam. I did notice that in most cases the setting for it to adjust for lighting was kicking in which made the picture process take more time and if I moved at all it made it blurry. I tired that off and it seemed to help. Seems like that feature is not working well.

I had to contact Apple services SEVERAL times (twice through chat, 3 calls and 2 in store sessions at the Genius Bar) to finally get a resolve. They run diagnostics and of course, find no issues with the software, but in-store associates could see the difference in photos taken with my 12 pro and 2 of the store models, but because the diagnostics found nothing, they couldn’t do anything for me. I pushed and pushed and finally got them to exchange it. Did a photo comparison once I got the new phone and it is noticeably different.

any of you reading this who have similar issues in the future.... PUSH PUSH PUSH until you get the help you want. I feel bad for the rest of us getting stuck with a sucky 12 pro camera for the next few years.

You Guys,

1. Clean your device's camera glass with optics cleaning liquid
2. Try to click an image placing your device with a support to it holding study
3. See if the image is still blurry

I contacted apple they ran a diagnostic and found everything fine with the camera but they saw the videos and pictures and agreed there was something wrong with my camera and recommended to exchange phone which I did and my new phone looks so much better

I had the same problem and used actual glass cleaner stuff that you’d use to clean reading glasses. That took care of the problem. I tried cleaning it before but not with this stuff. If you haven’t tried glass cleaner try it.

I think i have found the solution to fix it.

To explain my situation.

i'm also affected by the blurry image syndrome on my iphone 12 pro. now for me this issue only occurs on my main camera. the 1x. the wide camera and tele work just fine.

one minute i open the camera app and everything works fine on my screen

and the other all my images are blurry. meaning i cant take photos with my main camera. wide and telephoto work just fine.

my problem is it comes and goes as it pleases and it always occurs when i really want to capture that magic moment with the kids or dog or anything else i want to capture. i wanted to show a buddy of mine the issue but ofcourse in that moment the main camera worked fine. i also i cant replicate it.

What i noticed is that I always have the mute switch on on the left side of my iphone 12 pro.

When I opened up the camera app just now to try to take a pic of our dog and saw it was again blurry/fuzzy/out of focus. :(

I don't know why but when I flipped the mute switch to off it immediately snapped back in to focus.

Now why the mute switch has any relation with taking a sharp image I truly don't know.

If there are any Apple geniuses on here or customer service reps you might want to take a look at this.

To all the people who have the blurry image issues please give my fix a try.

It worked for me!

I found the software update helped a lot. The close ups are still a bit tricky mind you

After reading some of the replies on this thread I decided to contact Apple about it. They suggested I send in my phone for them to look at it. They decided it couldn't be repaired and they are replacing the phone. Once I get the new one I'll test out the cameras and update everyone.

I had the same issue. I called Apple and they did a virtual diagnostic and said there’s nothing wrong with the camera. I insisted there was until they agreed to exchange the phone (since I had AppleCare). The new phone camera seems to be performing much better.

Hi!

I was looking around why some photo, especially on portrait mode, were blurry.

did many tests and changed settings. Also tried other camera apps to see if it would help.

with these settings, the focus works much better, also in portrait. Try disabling everything for the photos. See screenshot. Hope it helps for you.

also I learned that portrait works best with bright, outside light.
