Do you ever know how to use a camera??
Do you know how the auto focus system work?
Focus can be achieved by finding contrast between dark and light area.
In your pic there is no light only dark so it's impossible to get a sharp pic and that's why the error come.
In this situation you need to activate the torch.

Your pic is not totally black?
Anyway try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26482774&postcount=35
You should know that the square in the middle of the camera screen is the focus point.you have to press halfway while the focus point toward a bright object,in this case focus will be achieved,than reframe and shoot.
I cannot be sure if your phone is faulty.
Sorry for my bad English

Can you upload some of them?
There is lot of things that make a photo blurry,eg if you set the camera to scene auto In a low light condition than you will have a blurry photo cause the camera will switch to a low shutter speed mode automatically.

Sometimes an automated signature tells more than a thousand words. Good luck with your next iPhone.

Have you tried using the multi point auto focus ?
The tweakable options within the default camera app are impressive and so is its fully auto mode, but it does sound like you're asking the impossible off a camera phone. Even if the shots were in focus the noise levels will be hidous. The exmor r is good in low light just not that good!

Bro, Y U SO FUSSED? Calm down and take it easy. While I am not so sure if it is your unit problem, I have no problems with my autofocus at all. There are a few things to photography and even the best cameras cannot focus well in the lighting conditions I see in your picture (read my Canon Powershot SX200IS). You might only take 1 photo in such conditions in a year (or even less or never). Trust me on one thing, never stress test gadgets like reviewers do. Get the best out of what you do daily and what you would like to do. I am sure taking pictures in super dark conditions is not under one of them.

Are guys u are not getting me right
I went out with family friends in a restaurant and there we clicked some photos out of which 80% of the photos were out of focus totally
And on the other hand in blackberry 9700 and iphone 4 took photos which were atleast focused and not bad at all
Mind u in the same low light!!
Thats the main problem
And i havnt seen any sony phone do so bad in camera in which sony is master of all
So i said its definatly a fault!!

And that bro is what you should have mentioned in the first post. Might be a hardware defect, though haven't heard this before ever. You see in the picture you gave, it seemed like you turned the lights OFF in your room and then were taking the picture with light maybe from an adjacent room or outside light. Always mention full details. I don't have any such problems and since the camera in the S is a beauty, I hope you soon get a replacement. Enjoy and hope your new S will give you justice

Find the attached picture from my S below. I took this picture with ambient light only from my computer screen and nothing else. See the focus and the quality

I tried some like this one with similar results but sometimes I didn't get enough light from the flash ans others a bit noisy you said that in low light was difficult for autofocus what I don't get is that my Satio did this perfectly
