A blurry or black phone camera is often caused by a dirty lens, a case blocking it, or a software glitch, so clean the lens and restart first. A cracked lens cover, a shaking picture, or a black camera screen after a drop means the camera needs repair. At ART & FIX in Merced, phone camera repair is $39 – $229 for rear cameras and $29 – $199 for front cameras.
Your phone camera is probably the feature you use most after calls and messages. When photos come out blurry or the camera app shows only black, it is frustrating. Here is how to find the cause.
Quick fixes to try first
- Clean the lens with a soft microfiber cloth. Fingerprints are the number one cause of blurry photos.
- Remove the case. Some cases block part of the lens or the flash.
- Restart the phone and close the camera app.
- Try another camera app or switch between front and back cameras to see which one has the problem.
Signs the camera needs repair
- A crack or chip in the camera lens cover
- The picture shakes, buzzes, or will not focus (common after a drop)
- A black screen in the camera app while other apps work
- Spots or haze inside the lens that do not wipe off (often moisture)
- The flash or front camera stopped working
Lens cover, rear camera or front camera?
- Lens cover: the small glass over the rear camera. If only this is cracked, photos look hazy or have a flare, and the cover can often be replaced on its own.
- Rear camera module: shaking, buzzing, no focus or a black picture from the back camera means the camera module itself is damaged.
- Front camera: a black or blurry selfie camera. On iPhones with Face ID, the front camera area also holds Face ID parts, so we check Face ID too.
