currently on MIUI INDIA and it seems that the macro focus mode isn't working. Is there like something that needs to be done to make it work? Or can you suggest a camera app that has macro focus working. thank you!

Guys I have noticed that my Atrix does not focus on something when I'm close to it like 5"-10". Basically I get blury image in camcorder and camera view. Is this normal?

When using the camera, try setting it to "Macro" in the Scenes selection. As for the camcorder, it might take a little time for it to focus on something up close.
I tried macro setting already but it didn't make a difference. How close can you get to lets say page with text on it so you don't lose focus?

I can get right up to 3 inches away, which is about as good as you're going to get with a camera on a phone. Lighting has a lot to do with it as well I think.
well I got the camera to work, I didn't hold the button to focus duh! but the video camera still does not focus upclose. Is the focus automatic or is there a way to focus manualy? How close can you video something with focus?

I think someone has mentioned before that the camcorder on the Atrix is NOT auto focus or continuous focus. It probably won't do close ups.
Today while trying to take some pics I noticed that setting the focus mode to MACRO in the camera settings doesn't seem to have any effect on how close to the subject I can get before being unable to focus.
Has anyone else noticed that the MACRO setting doesn't seem to have any discernible effect?
Does the auto-focus mode automatically engage MACRO mode when it detects the subject is very close?

one would assume that it would engage macro mode if needed. would seem like the smart thing but u never know
Does it seem to have any effect on your device, I'm wondering if my MACRO mode is faulty?
I was trying to shoot some macro pics but I'm having troubles to get objects in focus. Whilst focusing I can see the object becomes sharp at a certain point but the camera keeps on going deeper so that the object is out of focus again. Then it stops and the marker turns red. My Samsung Galaxy S2 is running on with the KF2 Rom.. Anybody else experienced the same?
Im having this problem as well. Several threads already tackle this.
any answers to this though? I'm tired of this issue!
It seems that when in macro mode, you don't touch the screen area where you set its focus point, otherwise it'll go back to auto-focus mode. I resolve this by going to settings, set focus to auto-focus, apply, back to settings and set it back to macro. Without touching the screen to set your focus point, the macro mode is already set to a close distance focus.
Macro Mode works very well on Vignette. I haven't even tried with original camera app.
Dude thanks. It works,,,they need to fix it.

Just wondering if there's a camera app or something that will let me manually adjust focus? Sometimes I can't get focus where I want it specially on macro.
Thanks!
Hey all; I have found the camera gets confused with focusing in some instances (IE; bug on glass pane) where "Close up" and "Auto" won't focus on the object at any distance at all.
Is there some app that can control camera focus normally?
Thanks!
I'd like to know something for this as well. Macro shots are terrible on this camera.
Just so everyone knows, we're not looking for something with a digital zoom(Since that takes away a lot of quality).
I've tried the stock camera, camera zoom fx, and camera FV-5(This one runs terribly for some reason). FV-5 has a manual focus mode, but it doesn't work very well and is kind of annoying to me.
I think the best chance you really have for getting any decent macroshots is to use a reverse lens or a proper macro lens.
Hi!
I've been trying to create photos and videos about objects that are close to the camera, but the phone always focuses on the background.
Are there any way to get manual focus? (Set lenses manually) - maybe from another device/rom?
I know, there is a touch to focus in photo mode, can be usefull sometimes but not perfect.
If no chance to manual focus, how can I use the Touch To Focus option while video recording? - That can't be hardware limitation, as we can use it in photo mode.
Thanks.
I use single auto focus while shooting video, works quite well for me...
