guys,

Just wondering if any of you have the blue-ish centre spot when you use your camera? at first I thought it's temporary but it seems to be appearing on every single pictures I took!....

Booked an appointment with the genius...hopefully will get a replacement on the spot if there's any stock left.

Gotta waste my bodyguardz if it happens....

Btw, do i need to restore my phone prior to the appointment just in case they swap it on the spot?

Yes unfortunately....I'm keeping my fingers' crossed that the Apple Store in Chermside has got some stock left for a swap...

Check it out and you'll know what I meant.

At first I get flickering camera during the first few days over the weekend. Then the flickering sort of went away leaving the blue-ish spot at the center of the camera.

That's just weird.

Can you see the blueish spot on your iPhone's screen, or do you have to view it on a computer screen to see the effect?

The plot thickens.

I can now successfully reproduce the effect - some say it's a software issue due to fluorescent lighting, but if you take a picture of anything white it's pretty noticeable (this is a letter under the fluorescent lighting of my room):



Hmm.

I think the flickering doesn't have a whole lot to do with it - something to do with the "rolling shutter" of the iPhone's camera, but this "blue spot" thing is something new.

Possibly related to the autofocus mechanism of the iPhone 4 - tried with a 3G and a 2G, no issues.

Can someone please try with a 3GS and see how they go?

Only requirements are fluoro's and a white background...

EDIT: Doesn't look like it's limited to the iPhone 4 camera:

It doesn't seem as bad as some of the images that have been posted tho

Any of you are going to take the risk and swap it in Apple Store? This problem seems to be everywhere...not just 1 or 2...

Secured a Genius Appointment but still contemplating whether I should go...

A particular type of light - fluoros, to be exact.

Yeah, this happens on my iPhone 4 as well... (taken in Borders - dunno what sort of light they use, I'd guess it's a fluro) - this was taken with Camera+ as well.



This is a photo taken under a fluro light, but I can't see it happening here:
