The iPad camera seems frozen in both regular and mirror mode. The shutter doesnt open or does so after a delay. Then the screen looks dark. Nothing is covering the lenses. It seems like a lens issue. Please help troubleshoot.
iPad 2, iOS 6.0.1
Try either or both of these things and see if the camera starts working again.
Quit the camera app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus âž– sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or - Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
