is it possible you accidentally changed some camera settings or camera mode?
Try going to the camera settings menu (bottom left corner of the camera app), scroll that menu all the way out, and pick "reset". This will reset your camera to factory settings. See if the problem still persists.
Or it could be too dark, and auto mode cannot focus. you need to engage night mode. but first try setting reset above.

My guess would be you've switched the macro function on at some point (either deliberately or accidentally) and then forgotten to switch back to auto-focus (I had the same problem with mine until I realised what it was!).
Go to Settings down in the bottom left of the camera screen, then select 'Focus Mode' and change back to 'Auto focus'.
I didnt turn anything on or off, i flashes the firmware to ke7. but it stopped working before i flashed. also i have reset the cam settings tons of times, nothing seems to work. it goes out of focus right after it starts focusing, and then the red bare thing comes up
It is obviously software issues, because its gets perfectly focussed before it goes blurry again
Hmm is it the macro mode issue that I read about?
Never heard anything like what you are describing, sorry.
Please do update this thread if you figure out the issue.
re-flash or update the camera's firmware
+1 to this problem. It's frustating.
I got the same problem. I just give the phone a tap on the back and it starts working again. Its so weird... i'm thinking my camera autofocus is dodgy/stuck
Try Settings >Applications >Manage Aplications > All > Camera > clear DATA
Or are you sure there is no dust on the Lens????? Trying wiping it clean
If both the above Dont work ... I dont you and you dont know me
bump..
have the same issue...
no focus at all in video mode.
i reset the camera setting a few times, delete all data from the camera app, still no luck.
my cam FW is :
cam fw ver : scef02
phone fw ver : tbec28
please advise as this is getting really frustrating...
many thanks.
Samsung I9100 camera focus problem
Hi,
I have the same issue as described above. Perhaps it occured just as I updated to Android version 2.3.3, not sure but could be.
Anyone found a solution to this problem?
auto focus doesn't work correctly out of the box
Hello,
Just got a brand new GSII from Sprint; awesome!! AutoFocus though is CRAZY and possessed!! it will be in focus then go out of focus... non-stop... did this from day one; Running 2.3.4 does not seem to do this with the still camera.
I'm having the same problem. I tried switching roms, going back to stock, nothing helped. Anyone having a solution? It is a software issue, because 3 days ago mine was working for like 5 min..

I had the same problem but disappeared cleaning the lens from the fingerprints and grease
I finally rooted and the flashed Galnet Miui, but then the quality of photos dropped. So I flashed another ROM, same results. So now i restored backup of my original ROM and it got better, but still nowhere near the quality of pre-root.
So I messed up camera for nothing =/
I have the same problem, with one small difference, i dropped the phone in the toilet. Got it dry, changed the camera and now I have this focus problem. In camera mod, if I touch the screen the camera will focus, but it doesn't focus from the moment I start the Camera app. So since the camera don't auto-focus by itself when I go into video mod the image is all blurry.

Hi Guys,
My SGS2 camera is working fine and i dont have any issues with the clarity too...
But one thing i noticed is when ever i chnage the setting (like outdoor , night mode, anti shake etc) and close the camera app and reopen again, am not able to see the chnage in setting which ever i did...
Is there any issue with the camera???
So everything was working normally and then one morning I tried to open my camera and when I did icon to switch to front facing camera was gone. I allready tried safe mode, clearing cache/data, reebooting, instaling third party camera and similar stuff but nothing helps :/
When shooting photos in either manual mode in the built-in camera app, or in auto mode in other camera apps like Google Camera, there is a consistent 0.5s to 1s lag between the time in which the shutter button is pressed and the time in which the photo is captured. The lag ALWAYS occurs, every single time, even in perfect lighting conditions and even if focus is already set.
The lag makes it very challenging to capture moving objects.
The issue isn't present in the built-in camera app's auto mode, but in auto mode you can't change important things like white balance.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Nope, no lag in any mode. Well, perhaps 1 out of 6 or 8, but probably due to delayed focus lock. Try cleaning the screen and nearby sensors and worst case a factory reset. I think you have a one-off issue

I've tried it on multiple G4 and V10 devices in stores now. They all have the same issue.
I have similar issue with the stock camera app as well. When i switch from manual mode to auto mode, it lags for almost 2 seconds. But when switching from auto to simple mode, no delay at all. I went to AT&T store to test their display model, and it had no such issue.
I am not sure what could cause it.
I have the AT&T model, stock ROM, not rooted. I have Nova Launcher.
I have a little problem with Redmi Note 9 Pro that my dad have.
For some unknown reason stock camera app started acting weirdly. For example after taking photo it freezes for a moment and then crashes but the photo is properly saved and you can open it in the gallery app.
What is more you cannot switch to macro or wide lens cause that makes app to freeze.
I tried to wipe app data from application settings menu and I updated the phone to MIUI 12 hoping that this would solve the problem.
Unfortunately nothing changed.
Does anyone know a way to reinstall this application hopefully without rooting or unlocking phone?
Thanks
Something I found in my armor x5 is the camera does what you state when screen rotation is active. Try disabling screen rotation, this SHOULD fix the prob.

I tried this solution and sadly it doesn't help.
