The quality of photos taken with the camera is poor. The pictures are fuzzy or grainy.
The pictures may not be coming out because there is not enough light to produce a crisp, clear image. Make sure the flash is on.
The lens or screen may be dirty, creating grainy pictures. Using a microfiber cloth, wipe the screen and the lens. This will help make the pictures clearer when they are taken. It will also make the screen clearer when you are viewing them afterward.
If the photo quality of one of the cameras (either the front facing camera or the rear facing camera) shows a marked decrease in quality, the camera may be broken. You will need to replace either the front facing camera or the rear facing camera.

Sometimes this problem can be fixed by restarting the tablet. Turn the tablet off completely, wait thirty seconds, and then turn it back on. This may get rid of colored lines crossing the screen.

The screen has a crack or is completely shattered, obstructing use of the tablet.
If you can’t use the tablet because the screen is broken, the best solution is to replace the screen. After replacement, consider investing in a screen protector to prevent this problem from reoccurring.
