Camera Focus issue - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Anyone facing camera focus issue on G5? I am using F700S on Noughat.
And no matter how hard i try, I fail to focus using rear camera. Front cam works fine.
please help.

Same issue here. Seemed to occur after the initial nougat update. Sprint variant. Nothing I do seems to fix it. Read elsewhere, that it is highly probable this could be a mass hardware defect. No confirmation OR denial from LG though.

But which one? The main or the wide-angle one?

The main. Wide angle still works flawlessly - as does the front.

Well, I have Nougat and my main camera is working fine, so as the wide angle. Did you tried resetting your phone?

Also by the way, when you get in manual mode, switch to wide angle, can you do manual focus? I can't and I dont know, if it's normal or not...

Now I have got a new G5.. old one i had to sell at a heavy loss. Its camera is working just fine. no issue. Yesterday I upgraded it from MM 6.0.1 to 7 and its working good. Except for fast charging notification, that is lost after the second update of Nougat.. November update..waiting for the next software release with expectation of fix..

Wide-angle lens distortion fix?

Hi!
I recently got my lovely OnePlus X. Everything is where it needs to be, can't be more happy!
Except for the front facing camera, where the phone suffers from the wide-angle lens distortion syndrome which lots of new recent phones have.
The only way where I can fix this is by zooming a little bit so that the warp map for the camera no longer is "being used" even though it's already there?
The point is that I pretty much liked my front facing cam back when I had my Nexus 5.
Since I use Snapchat alot; when taking dank selfies, I just look like a fat fish in certain angles. If I use the default camera app however and zoom a little bit in, it's all fixed. How can do this for Snapchat, since it does not support front zooming for Android (yet?).
I have it rooted with Xposed installed and ready to go. Should I use some alternatives? Can I remove the warp map hardware wise? Can I change some "hardware-ish" setting so that it returns to normal mode? I just want it to be like my old lower fov Nexus 5.
Thanks!

LG G5 camera questions

So far life's good. The battery life is solid, fast charging is unbelievably impressive, screen quality is great and the speaker is impressive. Being new to LG coming from the M9 I'm not sure how to do the following with the camera: Bokeh (blurred focus shots) and Macro shots.
These were options on the M9 as camera settings.
Does anyone know if these are settings or how to set great bokeh or macro shots in manual mode? Any help would be huge. Also if anyone knows how to turn off swipe on the keyboard that would be a bonus too. Thanks in advance.
Can't help with the Bokeh. Macro shots seem to be pretty easy to take on this phone though, point and shoot.
As for the keyboard, go into keyboard settings, and turn off "Path input"
The Bokeh effect isn't on the LG Camera (yet I'm hoping) and it doesn't work on the Google Camera.
I've had a problem with the camera not focusing properly on the regular lens, not on the wide angle lens. It's happened a couple of times now. I thought the lens was just dirty but no matter how much I cleaned it, the lens just couldn't focus properly. I tried focusing on multiple items, near, far, single point, multiple points, etc, but pics were still blurry. Both times I just rebooted the phone as last resort and it seemed to fix the problem. Must be some kind of software issue. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix without having to reboot every time it happens?

Yes same problem. Is this only in Google camera for you? It was in every app for me. I had to exchange it.
It was on the built in camera app on the G5. I've since cleared the cache and haven't had the issue come up again.

LG G5 wide angle lens focus?

Hi guys, I tried looking everywhere but I haven't been able to find any info about whether or not the wide angle lens has any focus (autofocus) or even touch focus? Or is it fixed at infinity only, with no focus? Or maybe my camera is broken? For example if I put the main camera close to my leg and focus I can clearly see the hairs, but if I do that with the wide angle it is blurry (however things,far away seem clear). If I touch the screen while in wide angle mode the green focus square briefly appears, such as with the main camera, but it does not focus neither does it make the focusing sound.
Also the front camera has no touch focus or autofocus, right? This is driving me crazy, and would appreciate anu feedback so that I know if I should send my phone back for repairs or not. I heard that some G5 phones are suffering from hardware failures regarding the main camera focus, but I want to know if the wide angle supports focusing in the first place. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

Macro photography - Manual vs Auto focus

I have the Exynos S9+ and take a lot of pictures with it, especially insect macro shots in pro mode.
I noticed that there is a big difference in the closest focus distance between manual and auto focus modes.
When using the manual focus slider and dragging it all the way to the bottom, it focuses about 5cm farther than with the auto focus.
I have tried this on an S8 camera and with it the manual and auto focus closest distance is the same and working as expected.
This is pretty annoying and makes the manual focus unusable for me because I cant get close enough to the object.
In the screenshots I took shots of a ruler. you can see that in auto focus the focusing is on 1cm and in manual its on 5cm.
I wonder if anyone else noticed this on their S9+?
yes i saw this a couple months ago, i hope if this fix with updates but no, problem is still here

Yep, I was hoping it would get fixed since May when I got the phone but I guess samsung was too busy with the S9's camera commercials then the actual camera.

The Regular 1X Camera stopped working

I am still able to use Ultra Wide Angle and 2X zoom camera in GCam. In Facebook messenger it started to use 2X zoom also. But I can't seem to get the regular 1X Camera to work
Yes I restarted a few times.
I am on xiaomi.eu 9.4.11
I hear rattling if I shake the phone which makes me worried it might be a hardware problem. The rattling is only in the camera region. Other parts don't rattle.
What do I even do because I'm in USA and I don't have Xiaomi service centre or anything near me
Okay Update: I went to wipe Cache but accidentally factory reset. But that seemed to have fixed it. My suspiscion was on Magisk Module for Gcam. However, neither was gcam able to connect to the camera so nvm. idk what happened. Maybe because I shook the phone enough to where it got connected again.
It still rattles but the camera at least works.

It pains me to say, but I also hear a slight rattle when shaking it, from around the camera! It causes me no issues but I'm unsure what to do, if anything, about it...

They all rattle.... I see it positive. I hope one sensor have OIS and it will be activated in the future. [emoji1787][emoji1787]
Wishful thinking I guess.
Rattling is normal, moving parts of autofocus do that sound. No OIS.
