What? Nobody is experiencing the focus issue with the camera on the GS4? I have owned several Samsung devices and have never had this issue before.
When you use your camera (after non-use for awhile), it's blurry for about 30 seconds before it eventually recovered from the blurred view.

Hi guys, got a camera issue that I could use your advice on.
My rear camera freezes every second or so and then jumps and then freezes again, this as you would imagine makes taking photos near impossible. It will still take photos of reasonable quality but Its taking me around 20 seconds of messing around to get one photo. I've tried a third part app and the issue is still there, exactly the same. The issue is still there when recording video, but to a lesser extent ie it records fine but i get a jump or an artifact line every 3 seconds or so.
The front camera works perfectly and I'm on stock 4.1.2 Retail GB
So; has anyone had any similar experiences or know of a solution?
Thanks,
Jack
UPDATE: I was told by Motorola to do a full reset on the phone, this did not solve the problem
Souds like hardware problem.

Its seems you're right, the nice people at Motorola have accepted it for repairs
My Nexus 6 seems to have an issue from day one and is still present with the 5.0.1 update and the most recent camera update. I'm unlocked and unencrypted.
When using the camera, any camera app, the viewfinder and ultimately the photo/video comes out blurry when shooting in landscape. If i shoot in portrait, the viewfinder and the photos are sharp.
In landscape is starts clear and sharp and then quickly changes to being blurry. Even resting the phone on a still surface it is always blurry. Lighting conditions or shooting mode don't make any difference.
I attached two photos showing the difference, both handheld.
It's almost like something is wrong with the OIS in landscape. Hardware issue?
did you touch to focus or did you just point and shoot?

touch to focus... it actually begins to focus and then it looks like the sensor is shaking on the screen and shows up in the photos. I have no issues at all when in portrait mode.
This even happens when the camera is sitting on a still surface so its not my hand shaking.
This is with the camera sitting stationary on my desk and a 10/sec timer
mine did the exact same thing. the OIS never fully settles due to a hardware defect. i got a new one from T-Mo and returned my defective one and the problem has gone away.

Thanks for the info and helping verify its a hardware issue. guess I will be calling T-MO then. Where they hard to convince in replacing it?

i was lucky to call and complain about it within the 14 day buyers remorse period so they could send me a brand new one instead of a possible refurbished one, but it was like pulling teeth with them. i had to explain that it was a hardware issue several times before they agreed to send me another one. after several phone calls later in the next few days, i finally got someone who was willing to do it then and there while on the phone.
good luck :good:
I have about the same problem with my more then 1 year old Nexus 6. After my nexus 6 fell of my bed (with a tpu case and no visible damage) it seems that i can only get the camera to properly focus while holding it at 90 degrees (so with the camera sensor towards my right hand) and while holding it at 180 degrees (so upside down) 0 and 270 degrees (camera towards left hand) the camera focusses, during the focussing it's focused for like a fraction of second and then the blurriness/vibration starts, in both camera and video mode.
So thanks for this topic, i guess i'm ordering a replacement camera module.
Replacing the camera module has fixed my focusing problem. The module itself was around 13 dollars on aliexpress. For anyone that's facing focussing/ois problems with the camera, you can easily replace the module yourself.
I thought I'd got used to the Z3c camera -- after battling it for weeks I finally figured out how to get decent (though not stellar) performance from it. But then last night for the first time I had to take a bunch of people pics in a dimly-lit room and every single one of them came out blurry to some extent. With flash, without flash, different scene modes used, no scene mode, different focus modes, auto, manual... nothing I did resulted in a decent photo. This did not seem to be an autofocus issue -- nothing in the frames was sharp at all. It seemed more like a shutter speed issue, like the camera was just selecting a shutter speed too slow to freeze even minor movements. Anyone else have this problem? Was I doing something dumb?!
I borrowed a friend's iPhone 5s and every single photo came out perfect. This Z3c camera is seriously starting to bug me. I just seem to be constantly fighting it to get acceptable results. It almost makes me pine for my N4 camera, which is saying something!

check capturing speed with this app >> CameraW
it can be application bug
if the capturing speed is normal with this app then u need to repair firmware to reinstall system app like Xperia Camera (By PC companion)

So I've had a problem with my camera for some time now. Whenever I start the camera app or anything that uses the camera, my phone starts vibrating/making a weird noise. It feels like it is initializing the camera, but I have no idea what is happening. All I know is it take an intermittent amount of time (1-5 seconds) of vibrating until I can use the camera.
I'm looking to get my phone replaced, but I've read so many horror stories of people getting refurbished phones that are in worse conditions. Should I get my phone replaced? Do they do replacements for different phones? (Return a S6, get something else instead?)
My friend's S6 has the same problem. He can prevent it from happening when he opens the camera app while the phone camera (rear) is facing the ground.
I wouldn't bother. Almost everyone I know with an S6 has/had this problem. It doesn't affect camera performance at all, just sometimes takes a few more seconds for the camera to focus on launch.
I got mine replaced. I have a a two year old and those seconds before the camera is ready is crucial to getting a silly face or just a blur...
MM update stops the vibrating thing, in my phone at least.
Hi, when I'm using the stock camera software on my up-to-date, non-rooted A2, with the front facing camera, many times, it's impossible to click on the "taking a picture" button right after taking a picture, it's like frozen for half a minute or so.
It's very annoying since my gf is obsessive with taking different angles of the same photo, and it keeps us smiling like stupid for a long time without being able to take pictures...
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Edit: I think that a viable workaround may be an app that can take high quality picture with the front camera, and is able to take a few pictures in a row (I downloaded some, but some of them shows me the picture after taking it, instead of going back to the camera screen, and some seems to lower the quality of the photos compare to the stock app).
Many thanks!
