It's probably internal dust or some other contamination. A new camera module may be the answer.

Check with your carrier or Samsung. This would be covered under the warranty. Check into that before you start trying to fix it yourself. If you remove one screw, your warranty will be void.

Yes, back up all your data, and it certainly would not hurt to try and call Samsung and see what they would charge you to replace it. You might find it's a lot cheaper than you think, and there's no chance of you accidentally breaking anything else when you crack into it. I've known of people replacing "simple" things only to end up accidentally breaking another cable because they didn't know it was attached to the case (for example) and they can't replace that part. I personally wouldn't risk it on such an expensive phone.
