When I take a selfie there is no problem with my camera, but when I use my back camera, there is a clicking/ static noise and the view finder appears shaking/wavy. I can take a picture, but it is blurry. Any idea why this happens or how to fix it? Thank you.
Hi Stephanierzs30.
The kind of issue you are reporting is physical and not something there is a software fix for. If the behavior persists when there is no case or other potentially interfering magnetic device, then you'll want to have the iPhone examined for possible hardware issues.
Contact Apple for support and service
Cheers.
Hello Stephanierzs30 and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty with the auto focus function of the rear-facing camera on your iPhone.
Just as a starting point, keep in mind that the front-facing or "selfie" camera is a fixed-focus device and the following does not apply to it.
It sounds like the issue is with the auto-focus function. This is most often (if it is not an issue of physical damage to the iPhone) caused by magnetic accessories and can include anything from some cases to lens attachments. Does the same thing happen if you have the iPhone out of any case you might use and with no accessories attached?
Hi thank you for the response. I hadn’t thought that the case might be the issue, but unfortunately I discovered that that’s not the problem. Is there anything I can do to fix the auto focus?
