maash Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 When I take a picture of a white paper or anything with the whitish background, I see a greenish/blue spot in the middle. Does this happen to anyone else?

instant.human Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 that might be due to the artificial lightning in that room. fluorescent tubes tend to have a blue-violet-ish look to them when you take a photo and did not set the white balance correctly/did not set it at all. does that happen aswell when you take a sheet of paper out and photograph it in a not artificially lit environment?

No this seems to happen when CFL lighting is in play. still an issue Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/915222-iphone-4-camera-issue-greenishblue-tinge-with-white-backgrounds/#findComment-592829440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Eww. Have you tried different settings, like messing with white balance? Does this happen outside or only for inside shots? That picture looks like it has a lot of noise in it. Mess around with contrast, saturation, and sharpness and the white balance to see if you can clear it up. If none of those settings do anything, then the sensor or lens on the phone might have something on it causing it to show that hue up... like oil on the lens.

instant.human Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 No this seems to happen when CFL lighting is in play. still an issue yes. and no. many compact cameras have that problem aswell. it is an issue but definately not iphone specific. CFL lightning emits light in frequences that the eye cannot see but camera sensors. ever pointed a random IR remote to your camera lense and pressed a button on the remote? you will see something your eye cannot. the CFL issue is most likely easily solved with a little adjusting in WB and contrast.

KzR Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Many iPhone 4 users in Singapore experience the same issue too. You should take it back for an exchange. Apple probably screwed up iPhone 4 big time.

DigitalE Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yes, mine has the same problem! I was going to take it in to an Apple Store to have it looked and and possibly replaced, but I'm going to wait until a new unlock is out. :shiftyninja: EDIT - whoopsies, sorry for resurrecting this topic.. Why did it appear in the Mini Spy??
