iPhone 5 camera issues black screen

Just backup and delete all photos and videos from the device. Make hard reset of the phone (home + power for 10 sec and you've done

THis problem is in ios 9.2 nd i also have the same issue infact my iphone is too cold

a d the error is your iphone needs to be cool down

I had an iPhone 5c with a rear camera that showed nothing but a black screen. [Edit] Sometimes it told me my phone was too hot, when it wasn't. [/edit] Interestingly, in FaceTime switching to the rear camera worked fine -- which made me wonder if it was a software issue. Restoring the phone actually worked for a while, but the problem returned.

For the record, this turned out to be a hardware problem for me. I took apart the phone, detached and reattached the camera -- still nothing. So it wasn't a bad contact (as for some others here). However when I fitted a £4 replacement camera part from eBay, it worked immediately. YMMV, but in my case the actual camera part must have been failing, and replacing it worked. Worth bearing in mind as a last resort.

that's sensational!!!!! it works!!!!!
THANKS

I had the same proble for iphone 5. Mine was a hardware problem. My solution was tapping lens hardly.

My I phone back camera is dark

I have the same problem with back camera n flash

Hello,

Restore the Device in DFU mode if issue persists then there is problem with Display

I'm on iOS 10 I did a video group call on line and then my mom called and then my camera is black

Which way do I push on?

This fix worked for me

Why is the screen on my iPhone 5 showing. Black screen when I want to take a photo

Your camera probably got knocked loose when you last dropped your phone. In which case you would need to squeeze it back into position.
