Camera showing black screen, grey buttons. - Nokia Lumia 920

Hello everyone,
a day or two ago my phones camera suddenly didnt work. When I open the camera app. it just shows a black screen, and the button to take a picture is greyed out. Once in a blue moon, the front camera works when I open Snapchat, but if I then try and change to the Back camera, and then back to the Front camera, it appears black again.
I tried soft reset and also resetting camera (settings), but nothings worked. I have NOT dropped the phone in any way, I had simply left it charging overnight under my pillow as usual.

is it possible you accidentally changed some camera settings or camera mode?
Try going to the camera settings menu (bottom left corner of the camera app), scroll that menu all the way out, and pick "reset". This will reset your camera to factory settings. See if the problem still persists.
Or it could be too dark, and auto mode cannot focus. you need to engage night mode. but first try setting reset above.

My guess would be you've switched the macro function on at some point (either deliberately or accidentally) and then forgotten to switch back to auto-focus (I had the same problem with mine until I realised what it was!).
Go to Settings down in the bottom left of the camera screen, then select 'Focus Mode' and change back to 'Auto focus'.
I didnt turn anything on or off, i flashes the firmware to ke7. but it stopped working before i flashed. also i have reset the cam settings tons of times, nothing seems to work. it goes out of focus right after it starts focusing, and then the red bare thing comes up
It is obviously software issues, because its gets perfectly focussed before it goes blurry again
Hmm is it the macro mode issue that I read about?
Never heard anything like what you are describing, sorry.
Please do update this thread if you figure out the issue.
re-flash or update the camera's firmware
+1 to this problem. It's frustating.
I got the same problem. I just give the phone a tap on the back and it starts working again. Its so weird... i'm thinking my camera autofocus is dodgy/stuck
Try Settings >Applications >Manage Aplications > All > Camera > clear DATA
Or are you sure there is no dust on the Lens????? Trying wiping it clean
If both the above Dont work ... I dont you and you dont know me
bump..
have the same issue...
no focus at all in video mode.
i reset the camera setting a few times, delete all data from the camera app, still no luck.
my cam FW is :
cam fw ver : scef02
phone fw ver : tbec28
please advise as this is getting really frustrating...
many thanks.
Samsung I9100 camera focus problem
Hi,
I have the same issue as described above. Perhaps it occured just as I updated to Android version 2.3.3, not sure but could be.
Anyone found a solution to this problem?
auto focus doesn't work correctly out of the box
Hello,
Just got a brand new GSII from Sprint; awesome!! AutoFocus though is CRAZY and possessed!! it will be in focus then go out of focus... non-stop... did this from day one; Running 2.3.4 does not seem to do this with the still camera.
I'm having the same problem. I tried switching roms, going back to stock, nothing helped. Anyone having a solution? It is a software issue, because 3 days ago mine was working for like 5 min..

I had the same problem but disappeared cleaning the lens from the fingerprints and grease
I finally rooted and the flashed Galnet Miui, but then the quality of photos dropped. So I flashed another ROM, same results. So now i restored backup of my original ROM and it got better, but still nowhere near the quality of pre-root.
So I messed up camera for nothing =/
I have the same problem, with one small difference, i dropped the phone in the toilet. Got it dry, changed the camera and now I have this focus problem. In camera mod, if I touch the screen the camera will focus, but it doesn't focus from the moment I start the Camera app. So since the camera don't auto-focus by itself when I go into video mod the image is all blurry.

[Q] HTC Radar focus problem

I recently got my Radar and when I try to take a picture, the camera simply does not focus. I´ve tried everything, but nothing works. Is my camera broken or is this maybe a software issue?
Mostly a Windows Phone thing...
To focus on certain objects, tap them on your touchscreen and it will take the picture.. (This might be disabled in settings)

when u use the camera key,there are 2 press,when u press a little bit the camera adjusts the focusing and let u know on screen that the square brackets turn from WHITE to GREEN or they stays stable,then full press the camera button.....! u will have a clear shot.....! no software bug or no camera problem its just a button operating system......!
I know about the shutter button and the touch to pic, but the thing is that when I half press the button the white square appears but it doesnt focus as in nothing happens. For example when I want to take macro pic, it shows it focused when actually it didnt

Rear Camera Black Screen (Front facing works)

Hi
I've been asked to try and sort an issue with the rear camera (main camera) on a family members SGII (I9100P). The rear camera when activated just shows black. I have tried numerous different Kernels and different ROM's. I installed the latest 4.1.2 for the I9100P and the rear camera worked for about 20 minutes and then it went back to displaying black. The front facing camera works fine.
Any ideas on the cause of this or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ross
Quick update. I rooted the phone using this method and now the camera works for a little while and then freezes and "Unknown error by ErrorCallback" comes up on the screen. I exit out and re-enter the camera and the screen is black, but if I then exit out and re-enter, it starts again for a very short while.
Bump - Anyone? I am 'assuming' it is software related as it works for a short while then cuts out.
Bump.

Armor 6 entered rainwater

Good night people
So, I was riding a motorcycle when I took a relatively heavy rain with the device in my pants pocket, when I got home I noticed no problem, everything was working normally, but after a few hours I went to use the camera on WhatsApp and realized that it it was not opening, when i went to the camera app i realized that the icon was gone (but it is still possible to access the app settings) and noticed that the cameras were foggy, as if there was water vapor inside, after a few days i can access front camera (as the first camera) and the secondary camera by whatsapp, but they are mirroring the image, if I put it in landscape mode the photo is upside down, and the flash is not accessible in the status bar because the system is considering the front as the main camera and it does not have a flash.
does anyone know how to solve?
and to complete the power button it stopped working, I am erasing the screen with two clicks and waking up the screen with the digit sensor, to restart the device I need to use the ADB via the usb cable.
since, thank you, i'm disappointed with this device.
