Camera problems, seems like stuck in macro mode. - Moto X Q&A

I am having problems with my camera.
I can't focus on objects that are far away.
But I can focus perfectly in close objects.
:banghead:
This is a pic taking from far. Tried to focus on the car outside.

Once again tried to focus on the bookshelf.
Here I try to focus on something close. Works perfectly.
Again
I tried everything. Restored, erased camera data etc. Nothing seems to work.
Is it a software or hardware problem ?
I can add more pictures if needed.

Clean the lens? Sounds stupid but it helped me...
Have you tried other camera APKs?
BTW why didn't you buy a Rogers one

Droid 3 camera problems

I have a Motorola droid 3 from Verizon everything is ok.. Its with stock rom on it
But the quality of the pictures indoor and outdoor is horrible they are very blurry the settings are to 8 mp ... but the pictures look like something i would of taken with a 1.3 mp camera out of focus blurred just very poor.
Did anybody else have this problem? is there a solution.
I am on stock android 2.3.4
Is there an update that i can make that will fix this problem ?
Very rarely some pictures turn out OK but i mean its like 1 out of 10 so this is how i know that the camera is capable of taking ok pictures.
Whats your system version

ok an update i bought the phone brand new never used by anybody before from Verizon... i connected it to my wifi and it told me he has updated to the latest version available for him and that seems to be 2.3.4 gingerbread.
Do i have to manually update my droid 3 ? Now it tells me that there are no updates available and my device is up to date.
It may be then. Look at Settings and go to the bottom option and see what version of software you have. Also, do you have the plastic over the camera still?
Sent from my XT862 using XDA
The newest version is 5.7.906. Note that this is still android version 2.3.4.

this is with my photos too... i think its just kinda started to get outdated as a camera... But it gets the job done.
I have a friend with a prism and his 3.2 megapixel camera looks the same if not equal as mine.
Im selling a phone on ebay and this is the pic from the droid 3

Have you tried any 3rd party apps? On one of the roms I was running I had that with the stock app, I use camera zoom and I love it.

Camera with Pink Screen. PLZ Help

Did this happen to any one. I was using my camera to record video in the dark. Suddenly the screen of the camera turned a pink color. If i turn the light on it goes away, but when i turn the light off, the screen goes pink again and it takes pink pictures in the dark. Its only happens when I have the camera on and only on the main back facing camera. Did any one else deal with this and was able to fix it?
Here is day and night pictures.

I'd be more concerned with the lack of focus in your pictures. I've just sent mine back because it took blurry shots like yours all the time, unless I did a close up/Macro.

[Q] Fuzzy camera on some texts

Hi, I recently had to send back my HTC One because of the camera having problem with purple/reddish tint. Just recently my camera is now having problems focusing and is incredibly blurry to the point where I cannot read "small text".
I just took this recently from my text book, the text is incredibly blurry.

Here's another one that is clear.
I have tried refocusing, but it just gets blurier.
Bump anyone? I heard people having problems similar, but nobody has posted photos. Should I just send this thing back again?
Try another camera app. It's look like a focusing problem. Try focusing touching the screen. In camera settings, choose macro or text mode.

Tried all of that :/ Here's an attempt in Camera Zoom FX, which I guess is supposedly the best camera app out there. Is it possible that there's a hardware problem making it unable to focus on text?

You get that problem only focusing on text? May be a hardware problem if not focusing everything ..

Yeah that's the weird part, maybe it's not focusing larger text (my previous picture on the whiteboard as an example) but since it's larger it's harder to notice. I'll just talk to the warranty and send it back again.

Mi3 camera smudging

I have one problem with the mi3 camera that irritates me a lot.. Whenever I take a group photo there is smudging towards the edges so that the people standing at the edge are blurred.. The focus should be even throughout the frame.. Has anybody else faced this? I am using the stock camera.
You must be using a back cover on your device, which is diffusing flash on the edges.
If I am not wrong.

Try to reset all the camera settings and see if it helps, if not you could try factory resetting the entire device. If that doesn't help it 'might' be dead pixels on the sensor/sensors.

it may be the phone motherboard has failed.
Recommended to go after-sales service to ask for help.
Motherboard? I dont think so. This problem is only with camera app. Not on screen in any other app. Why motherboard. It seem mote like a sensor camera issue. The phone is 4 month old. That why i never renonce to samsung and go with Huawei. Chines alwais use cheap material and go for premium device.
