iPhone camera problems and solutions


Apparently some people are reporting problems with the iPhone's camera producing green-tinted pictures. iPhone Atlas suggests that the problem is probably being caused by some defect in the iPhone's automatic white balancing. Fortunately, they also suggest some post-processing solutions with iPhoto or Photoshop. So, dear TUAW readers, have any of you experienced the green tinting in your iPhone photos?

Skaderino - I'm having the same problem with my iphone camera. It's just a black screen in the camera application. My phone is a mod, so I don't think apple will exchange it. We need to get this fixed! Have you heard of anything yet?

..and after setting up the new one it sadly does not fix it. :-(

-FYI- Apple please address the reb/green camera in the next firmware release.

Green tint just started on my new iPhone. Apple store replaced the phone, no charge. Get AppleCare.

I don't own a iPhone... But I have analyzed the images...

What the iPhone atlas says is correct... Prob with the Auto white Balance.

Or you could just stop viewing it as a negative thing - hey, look at the Matrix! The whole first part of that movie was made with a slew of green-tinted camera lenses!

My iPhone's camera is working wonderfully; Although if it's a white balance issue I certainly wouldn't worry; Apple can definitely firmware update that baby away.

Also, apparently if you take pictures of some people (mostly in LA), you get these creepy, bug-eye creature people faces!

That's from my friend Roddy anyway...
