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..
bump.bump.bump

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.

Ok, I think I might have figured out under what conditions the camera is freezing.
When the camera is started in portrait mode, the first shot will freeze, at least on my camera. That means when you use the camera icon on the unlock screen, it will freeze.
I tried these different scenarios, followed by a reboot each time (not temp-rooted on any of these):
Device portrait, used camera icon to on lockscreen unlock - camera freezes first picture
Device landscape, used camera icon on lockscreen to unlock - 5 quick pictures in a row no problem
Device portrait, used camera button to start camera - camera freezes first picture
Device landscape, used camera button to start camera - 5 quick pictures in a row no problem
Note that even though the lockscreen doesn't have a landscape orientation, the sensor knows the difference and it seems to affect the camera.
I have no idea why the starting orientation would affect the camera, but being careful to put your phone sideways before starting it up seems to prevent the freezing.
Anyone else with freezing camera issues want to give this a shot and report back?
I too had the camera freeze problem, formatted the card and issue went away. Not sure if this will help you or not.

I also have a random freeze in the camera, maybe once every few days.
I tried the steps as described above and the camera opened and shot good pictures every time....
Sorry i couldnt help

Wow. I'm having this issue too. It's freezing pretty often over here.
Is this a software issue or a hardware issue? I'm willing to exchange it (again) if it's the latter.
are there any updates to the camera issue? mine does it if i dont hold it the right way or mess with the 2d/3d switch....sucks....cmon htc release an update fix for this
Hello everybody
I found exposure slider in camera setting has no effect on viewfinder and also on resulted media . Weather was still camera or video.
Any one confirm this or else?

I have the exact same problem, from both front and back cameras. Same in third party camera apps, exposure controls simply do not function as expected, no change at all. HDR picture mode seems to work fine though.
Not a serious enough problem for me to RMA, but it is a small dent in the glory of the S3 for sure..

I also had this issue and was deeply disappointed, because my optimus 2x made much better shots in low light because of the exposure compensation.
I found the solution today: I used the hidden camera menu *#34971539# and discovered that my camera was ZDFE02 and the phone firmware was ZDFE03. If your phone to cam button is greyed out, do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32721917
After copying the file to internal SD, restart, then update and restart. You get new cam firmware and now the exposure works.
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.
Hello, today I've flashed Tizen nougat rom, everything is alright, except the camera. Main camera feels slow, when I turn on the wide angle camera, the app crashes. If I try to turn on front camera it changes to wide angle camera, but is showing white noise-like effects. Any help fixing this?
Same here.
Have you done factory reset? Mine's no problem.
same problem. how to fix it?
help me, pls.
