I have an ipad3 which used to take great pictures. Recently though, the iSight camera (that's the one facing OUT, correct?) Has been taking photos that are too bright, with uneven lighting and blurry pics. I get this result wherever the photo is taken, the problem seems to be with the camera or lens?
FaceTime camera (the one facing the user) photos look fine!
I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what might be the problem and solution.
Thanks
Hello there, Neil.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a practical checklist of steps to try for troubleshooting issues with undesired image quality:

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
- If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
- If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
- Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
- Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
- Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
- Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
- Try to remain steady while focusing:
- Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.- Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.- If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
