Chosen Solution
Hi! Very helpful video! I have dust on my camera. I tore don the phone, cleaned the lens and used a rocket blower to blow the dust but it stays there. When I remove the main camera and move it around, still connected, the dust particles do not move with the picture , therefore the dust must be somewhere else inside the phone… Seems its on the sensor and the sensor is not part of the lens. Is this correct? Any ideas where this dust might be? Thanks for any help!![http://file:///Users/oisingormally/Downloads/DSC_0001.JPG] Update (12/07/2017) Thanks again Scott! Here is a quick video. The camera is still connected but is out of the phone so I can move it around. YesterdayI was convinced the dust spots did not move with the camera and I thought the dust was somewhere else than the little camera module. But now I think you are right, I will order the replacement camera !
so there are two lenses relating to the camera. there is the Shielding Lens, which keeps dustand debris out of the camera and the Zoom lens, which is the actual lens of the physical camera if you are getting the smudges with a perfectly clean shielding lens, then the zoom lens is likely scuffed by the dirt that was in there. Replacing the camera will fix this issue.
