So the camera is flawed? [purple halo/haze] [merged]

If this is just an exaggerated lens flare (and it sounds like it is), couldn't this be attributed to the shallower lens of the iPhone 5 than most other cameras?

Curious, why would you make an appointment when clearly ALL iPhone 5's are doing this? You will get a replacement that does the same exact thing. Why not wait and see what happens before jumping the gun and wasting your time and Apple's resources.

Besides, it's not like you're doing a photo shoot with your phone anyways. Lol.

"when clearly ALL iPhone 5's are doing this"

So is this is a fact? All iPhone 5 are having camera problems. I asked that question before. :)

Yes, I can wait, I have one year warranty. Oh, I take that back. I have Apple Care +.

"Besides, it's not like you're doing a photo shoot with your phone anyways"

Do we know each other?

I did not think so. How do you know about the photo shoot? Yes, it is not a professional job at all, but when it comes to my family and my kids I like to take the photo from my iPhone. When they are unpredictable and funny. On the spot. I expect a fairly quality photo from a phone that did not cost me $39.99 at Walmart.

Of course I will not return the phone, before you suggest I do, since you think you know me.

I just wanted to know if 100% of all iPhones 5 out there are having the same problem. But you implied in your message that they all do.

And no, you did not "ruffle any feathers" in case you are wondering. This is just a mature and amicable response. The way it should be.

You have a nice one. ;)

Thank you Geckotek & KPOM for the information. :)

This phone is SO much better than my 4S it isn't even funny. Steve Jobs would be very pleased with this. I'm sure he'd quibble about something. He'd quibble about anything. But between LTE, the nice design, the new connector, finally kicking Google Maps to the curb (taking all that ad revenue away), and the incredible performance out of a phone this thin, he'd be very happy with it.
 
seems like apple was so busy trying to make sure it took good pics at low light levels that they never tested it with the lights on.
 
My photos come out sooo purple it looks like this. Take a look for urself, solid purple proof, thinking about returning the phone.

My 4S does the same thing.

My 4's camera was actually defective, ALL of my pictures had a pronounced red tinge on the left side, I didn't even notice until I started getting better at taking pictures.
 
I can replicate the problem and I definitely agree the "purple" is caused by lens flare... so I will pick up a lens hood for iPhone5. :p

(even my Olympus 12-50 mm Lens on E-M5 body suffers from lens flare)

i've had it with apple. i've been loyal, put up with the 4's antenna's problem but seriously - the camera should work for what they are charging.

yes my phone does the same and i will return it and get a samsung galaxy s3

Yeah, you should see the link where the s3 is tested against the apple...The S3 is worse.

Holy crap...you mean my itty bitty camera lens in my phone ISN'T as good as my $900-$1,200 professional grade lenses (I'm a photographer)? Who knew?

I mean, that tiny little lens can actually FLARE? Stop the presses...this is an OUTRAGE!

Soon we will start to see lens hood accessories for these iPhones. Kickstarter project idea anyone?
 
seriously??

can't tell if this whole thread is a joke or not...

this is a LENS FLARE, and this has been a consideration in photography for as long as photography has existed. heck, its even desirable if you're JJ Abrams. :p and looks exactly the same as in previous iPhones and iPads, too, so even the flare's characteristics aren't even anything new.

sigh. i guess this is the downside to sticking cameras onto every mass market device these days. people don't understand basic photographic principals like backlighting and start getting angry at the tools.
