Why does my screen go purple when I open my camera on iPhone 5?

I've seen this situation occasionally, thought not with my personal iPhone 5. My suggestion would be to take it to an Apple Genius for replacement. It is probably not a software issue, but a problem with the lens. This happens infrequently, but it does happen, with lower end camera lenses, which is what you would find in almost any mobile phone.

I had this same issue, take it in, I had my phone exchanged and the new one is great, no purple screen issues. It's not a software issue it's a hardware one.

Any idea how to attach picture? Can u teach me? Ive got the same problem, but slighty a bit difference, when i took a picture, the picture appear to have pirple colour on it.. Ive got 2 picture to share, but i dont have any odea how to attach it here.

I was curious to know if you got this sorted? I had my iPhone 5 on release and have experienced the same problem, will they just exchange the handset? managed to get a screenshot :
