Why are my photos now really blurry on the iOS 7????

Why is it that my iPad had an absolutely brilliant camera when I was on the iOS 6 but as soon as I upgrade to the iOS 7 my pictures become really grainy and blurry? I Thought the problem would be sorted when I went to the iOS 7.3 but it is still the same. So disappointed as the main reason I got my iPad was to capture and share the photos I took of my children growing up. I wish I could go back to the iOS 6 as they where such better quality. I might as well go and get a throw camera from the chemist for the quality would be just the same.

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.3

For some reason it won't let me upload an iOS 6 photo so you can see the difference. But it is extremely noticeable!!!

Is that photo on your iPad or your PC?

I am not convinced, but if it will give you some peace of mind, you could try to restore your iPad:

If the upgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 7 would indeed cause blurry images, you would not be the only iPad user who has this problem.

I Have the same problem since I upgraded...my new pics are grainy and blurrier.....it is not you! I am also disappointed as I too like to take pics of my grandkids....I DO blame it on the ios7. Also my husbands ipad is the same after the upgrade so I am convinced it is the upgrade.....

I am not the only person I know. My mother, sister and one of my husbands friends all have had this happen since the upgrade to iOS 7. I took my iPad to the local Apple store and the man behind the counter saw the difference with his own eyes. He even said that if it had happened to him he would be complaining.

This seems to be an issue with the camera going from IOS 6 to IOS 7. I brought my iPhone 4S in with the exact same issue. I had backed it off to IOS 6, but still blurry. They gave me a new IPhone 4S and with IOS 6 and it fixed the problem.

I'm not going back.

The Genius explained that the new camera app takes longer to focus so you ahve to hold the camera still. That doesn't sound like an upgrade to me.

The issue even happened after I purchased another camera app.

This camera is absolutely horrible! I've tried downloading apps that didn't help at all. My photos are grainy and blurry. This is so disappointing. I spend so much for this device and I continuously have problems with this device and the camera. This is ridiculous.

I have the same problem, photos and videos were acceptable on my iPad 2 until updating iOS now they are so grainy as to by unusable. :-( The quality difference of photos from before and after the update are huge.

Why are my photos now really blurry on the iOS 7????
