I'm having an issue where the camera won't focus. I have to literally tap the side hard and the phone will focus again. Does this sound like a ois problem?
Does it focus if you move away from the object you are trying to focus on? If so it's just a software issue with the nexus 6. It happens on my device and I have heard about it occurring on many others as well.
It's an OIS problem. You can get a warranty replacement for that. I had issues with the Note4 which also has an OIS. Moving parts can fail more that more non-moving parts.

I was wondering if anyone else hears a weird clicking sound when they close the camera after taking a picture. It appears to be louder if the camera has to focus more, so i don't know if it's just the camera resetting itself. My Bionic is bone stock.
My Atrix 2 also clicks when I close the camera app. I believe the A2 and the Bionic have the same hardware and software. I believe that may be it resetting or going to a neutral position. My Nikon does the same thing when you hit the power off button. Goes to a shut down position.
Locking the lens to avoid damage, most likely. Not dissimilar to how a hard drive will park its heads when it's shut off.
Dear fellow forum users/Z1 owners,
I'm a new user of a Sony Xperia Z1. I've been using my phone for about a week now to take photos, and I've noticed that there is a problem with the camera display. When I move my phone to take a photo of another subject, the display actually lags behind and sometimes freezes for a second before finally catching up with my movements. Do any of you face similar issues?
Another question I'd like to ask, would be the vibration/movement of the lens as it refocuses, especially on macro shots. It makes this small "tick" sound and vibrates while attempting to focus, something which I've not experienced on other cameras. Is this natural or is it a hardware issue that I should get Sony to check?
Thanks for taking your time to read this post, and I look forward to hearing your responses.
Cheers,
Sonynoob
I must say - never heard for that problems.
I don't have that issues, my camera is working great, no vibrations, no lag - full HD recording or shooting picts - all works great.

Just tested the camera in a quiet environment and I must say, it seems to produce the 'tick' sound before every shot...it only gets worse in macro situations.
Same goes for me. I think it is a normal thing while camera struggles to focus.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Had this lag too the other night trying to shoot outdoor. I don't know if it was because too much stuff running in background or if it's the camera, only happened once.
Before this problem has occured the phone was working fine sine a week from now the camera is not working properly.
When I open the Camera app it is not focusing the object and some noise is coming near camera at back
Hardware malfunction... Either the ois or the camera module itself. Let it swap
My God, I had similar problem when I had Lumia 1020
Only solution was replacing camera module.
Guys, anyone having this problem too? If you zoom from above 1x to 5x (before the switch happens) all pictures from my camera become almost monochrome, I screen recorded what happens.
Check this link, I uploaded a video of what happens to my viewfinder whenever I click the shutter button in zoom option.
Check for example the difference between 1x and then above it

Hey did you find a fix for this? I just picked up a P30 pro and i discovered the exact same behavior with my camera. im seriously considering returning this device because of it!!!
Errrrm, it's a grey cat sat next to a grey cupboard?
Yes, the issue is there on my phone too.... hope they'll fix it somehow
Telephoto lens is a lot lower spec than the main 1x lens, only 8MP
Sometimes for fairly close subjects like that cat and stuff, you're better off using main camera @ 1x and cropping
Help
Hi did you manage to get this fixed? I have the same issue when I zoom the viewfinder is full colour but the picture de saturates when you press shutter
I have been to. Huawei who replaced the camera and I'm still having the issue
Please help if you have the answer
Many thanks
This seems to be a lower specced lens or sensor more than software, it makes the telephoto lens useless.
I have the same problem. To debunk some of the replies, it's not because the cat is grey. It's not because the telephoto lens is of lower quality because it's not used between 1.1-2.9X zoom where muted colors happen and what does "only 8MP" have to do with the colors.
There's definitely a software bug. Like others said, it looks good in the viewfinder but comes out almost greyscale when saving. A bug, just like the main camera being out of focus when zooming back out in video recording. Such simple bugs but still not fixed.
Noticed this too :/
I have this problem too. I had it on emui 9 and now on emui 10. I writed to the support but they think it's hardware defect..
1 year with this phone and the problem isn't resolved yet. And not only that problem, white balance is too blue, the sharpness is really hard, absurd amount of contrast. I'm very disappointed with this phone, because was publicize as "the best photography phone" and It's a lie. This phone do "good photos" if you hate photography.
Ive been using my phone mounted on a tripod for Zoom meetings . More often than not when the speaker steps behind the podium, the Video starts zooming in and out repeatedly. Its almost unusable. There is a gooseneck mic holder and microphone that im thinking might be part of the issue in that the camera is trying to focus on it and not the speaker behind it. Putting the camera on the side is not really an option
Just curious if anyone has seen this issue with the S20 FE or if any of the 3rd party camera apps/mods might help.
