I tried calibrating the camera and it worksDid you put a case on it? The case may be obstructing the lens.
It also appears that you are in a dark room, the 3DS camera needs plenty of background light in order to capture images.
The camera's ribbon cable could be loose within the console.
What can i do to fix it?
Yes it happens with the inner camera tooIf you aren"t in a dark room or blocking the camera it should be a problem with the camera, if yes you need to replace it, sending it to Nintendo to repair or a particular.
Also it happens to the inner camera too?
But it got CFW and i got my 3ds region changedThen you need to replace the cameras and repair any other problem that cuase it in the conecction or theboard inn case there"s one, as said if you can"t do it by yourself you need to send it to Nintendo to repair or a particular that can repair that.
Hi Can anyone help me
My 3ds camera isn't working it only shows a black screen
Sorry to drag this back from years ago but I am currently having the exact same issue with a NEW 2DS XL Pokeball edition.
The outer camera just shows a black screen in the main app and in camera calibration, but shows the picture just fine using the QR code function.
Switching to the inner camera works and seems fine.
I have checked the ribbon cables and they are fine and have been reseated correctly.
Anyone got any other info. Reluctant to replace the camera itself as it seems odd that it looks fine, ribbon cable is perfect and the camera does work for QR codes.
There are two cameras for the rear. The n2DSXL, like the o2DS, will automatically shoot pictures in 3D mode for the rear cameras.
In QR scan mode, the left camera is used, and the right is disabled.
Did you own this n2DSXL for a while now before this black screen showed up?
Maybe your right rear camera shifted out of place, has a cracked lens, or damaged trace?
Edit - Also look for dust specks.
