So I dropped my htc one m7 and after that I noticed that the camera doesn't focus in on objects, even if i tap the screen there is no change so all pictures look out of focus.
I went to get a new camera fitted today although the guy working in the store ordered the wrong camera yet blamed it on the CPU and said even a new camer may not fix the problem...
Any help is very much appreciated!

Hi
Got my Hd 7 from o2 pay as you go
Am quiet happy with it, but has anyone noticed that the camera is a bit rubbish or is it jjust me
Camera snaps close up are super brilliant. but the moment you try to snap far away subjects its all blurish
Its seems to have a digital zoom which just blows up to picture to distortion
I have noticed that even the zoom function just blurs it up as well
feed back would be appreciated
It's indeed not the best WP7 camera but it's not too rubish also. It should be no more than decent (while to video recording with continued focus is ace) . Can you provide a sample so we can judge ?
There was also a pink-camera isue with an earlier HTC device (can't remember the exact model) and problem was solved with a quick update.

camera on hd7 does suck... tend to bluish every single shot unless u play with scene mode .... thats one of the reason im trying something else .. maybe focus
Hmm.. do you think that it will be possible that they release an update for this?
Not too keen on getting it if the camera is useless.
I have the awesome pink hue issue with mine... and for the other guy... the other phone with the pink problem was the HD2.
anyone know if this is just the software or is the hardware?
ive noticed too that on long distance shots its horrible on keeping focus of the picture. Though i think that maybe because metering is set to center and it cant focus in that much in the distance.
Though your every day snaps are usually ok for me. No problems with tints or anything and i find the video quality to be decent
I haven't had any problems at all with taking photos on my HD7 - no focussing issues, near or far.
Are you guys half-pressing the camera button to focus first, before pressing it the rest of the way to take the photo?
This seems to be the biggest cause of issues, people not realizing it's a two-stage shoot process, just like with digital cameras.
Note to the OP: Metering is actually light metering and has nothing to do with focussing. If you have metering set to centre, the camera will adjust the exposure according to the brightness of the object in the centre of the shot. If metering were set to "average" it would work out the brightness of the whole frame and set the exposure to that. Nowt to do with focus.
Incidentally, don't forget to ensure the lens is free of dust, fingerprints and other crud as that will obviously make your pics look mushy.
nope i always press on the first stage and let it focus and then press
I am running ASOP on my M8 and for some reason the camera has stopped focusing ... Have tried three different camera apps including the default HTC camera and it is the same problem on all of them ... not only doesn't the camera not auto focus, but it doesn't seem to have any fixed point at which it is in focus without autofocus. In other words, if I look at a screen showing the outdoors, trees and such, something between one foot and infinity should be in focus just like it would be in a fixed focus camera with no focus adjustment. But there isn't any, it's all out of focus.
My guess is that some, possibly firmware, instruction that's supposed to tell the camera lens to unlock when a camera app is invoked is not being delivered. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions that would help me troubleshoot and fix this problem without having to do a factory reset.
In the event this is a mechanical issue does anyone know if it's covered by HTC's warranty ... the phone is 10 or 11 months old, runs on Sprint, was purchased at Best Buy and I passed on the $10 buck a month extended warranty because they'd tacked on $150 co-payment on the policy for any repair or replacement ...
Thank you very, very much
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.
Hello! I had Galaxy Camera EK-GC100 laying around with broken camera lens (it was hit a little bit and the zoom didn't work at all and all I was getting was Camera Error when launching the app) so I decided to fix it. Bought camera lens replaced mine (I used old/mine color thingy that goes on top of the lens), put everything together and now it doesn't catch focus
HECK! I bought second new lens! And the problem didn't fix!
When I'm not using any zoom the image is extremely blurry but the moment I zoom at least 5x it becomes crystal clear!
What have I done wrong? Is there any camera calibration to do? I tried Factory Reset on the device already and using the expert doesn't work either. Here's some examples of how it looks:
Same here. Has anyone solved this problem?
Hi
I have had the nokia 8 for sometime now. Awesome phone but like lot of people I am struggling with the camera app. Lot of people complain about the focus time in the camera app but no one seems to say the app never gets focus.
Now the problem I have is most of the time the camera doesn't seem to focus at all. I click the viewfinder hoping it will focus but it doesn't. When I put the camera in the monochrome camera the focus is ok but the colour one doesn't focus. I put my finger near the lens and find that the focus seems to be set right near the lens (finger is clear). I used a cloth and wiped the glass and then the focus works properly when I close the app and try again after sometime the same problem reoccurs. The same issue is there when I use the WhatsApp camera as well.
Now my question is this normal and same thing other people are going through and wait for an update or do I need to show the phone at the service centre.
What is the time to focus you guys are having on the phone.
