Does your phone has a protective case/film? check if the lens its dirty, or if it has scratches.

No it has no covers on and is in of new condition, I'm really stumped with it and was thinking of daft things such as that.

Could you clean the camera lens and also 

settings > apps > all > camera > clear data > restart the phone > check again.

Don't worry about it, now you know where to come if you have any more questions, btw if you experience poor battery life, backup your phone and repair it with PCC, it will smooth things out.

If the object its near the lens it will take a macro picture, that's why I'm askin gif there's anything near it, even your fingers.
