Hello danial154,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Communities Support Site. We are happy to help you!


It looks like you may be having issues with your camera not focusing. We have provided some additional information to assist with a possible solution:


If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working


"If the camera isn't working


  1. Remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or that places a magnet near the camera.
  2. Test the camera by trying to take a photo.
  3. If the photo is blurry, clean the front and back camera lenses with a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens or if the camera lens appears to be misaligned or blocked, contact Apple Support for help with your iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch.
  4. Restart your iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch
  5. Test the camera again by taking a photo. If your device has a front and rear camera, check if one or both isn’t working. To switch cameras, tap the rotate button ."


Cheers!
