Iphone 4S takes really bad pics when using the flash. All the pics have a white haze. Is there a fix to this?

Post an example and check that you've cleaned the lens properly with a lens cloth before testing it.

Was the atmosphere in the venue smokey?

Manish,

This is not meant to be patronizing but I read a post just like yours the other day. The problem turned out to be that person had left the plastic film that comes on a new phone on the phone to protect against scratches.

He/She was advised to remove the plastic film and that fixed the problem.

I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store and testing the camera alongside another unit.

Not particularly low light I know, but see if you take the two phones to a dark corner or take a photo under a counter or something

Hi there I'm havin the same issue with my iPhone 4s, did you ever get this resolved?

Thanks

do you use a silicon case, plastic case or something like that??

if your answer is yes, when you took a picture, make sure the case is not in use. Put it off from your iPhone if you're taking a photo with flash light.

because my iPhone is "naked" and i don't have an issue like that

Out of curiosity, you didn't purchase a refurbished iPhone did you? Or have it repaired for any reason?

A lot of the time 3rd party repair shops, and the authorized dealers will forget to take the tiny tiny tiny piece of plastic protector off of the INSIDE of the back glass housing camera assembly.

I wish I could take a look at it in person, but look really closely at the glass and see if it's perfectly crystal clear or if there is ANY sort of "bumpiness" at all, or even a slight glaze.

How to put the photos in this box??

i had this prob but i read that if you have a cover remove it and it should be clear...just tried it and took off my cover and "picture perfect" as it is 🙂

Hi. I was also having the same issue. After reading these posts, I took a pic with flash with case on (very hazy) then took the case off & took same pic and it looked great. I'm relieved because I've been taking horrible low light pix for the past year. Would be nice if Apple could figure out how to reduce what is obviously a reflection problem considering almost everyone has some kind of case to protect these very expensive phones. It's sad to have to remove the case whenever we want to utilize what is otherwise a great camera. Just a note, my husband has an android evo and he takes great pix using his flash WITH the case on. I'm losing this iPhone/android war.

I was frustrated by the same problem and then read replies and realized iPhoneandandroidwar was right! It was the case, which is ridiculous because it doesn't block the camera opening. But I guess there is some sort of reflection causing the camera's lens to overcompensate. Wow am I glad I read this and ended the "bad iPhone photos" problems for good! Thanks!

I had the same problem after I switched from a black case to a shiny white case. I did not understand why all of a sudden it started taking horible pictures. I switched back to the black case and pictures are perfect now.

I don't feel like it's Apple's job to fix a reflection issue with a third party case. The people who make cases specifically for the iPhone should take the time and take this issue into consideration. As it's been said, there are cases out there that fix this problem. I have a black Otterbox and have no issues like that.
