The camera has lot of issues with focusing in all cameras, this is an issue with the current buggy firmware.

Have you used the phone on a bike or some system that vibrates a lot ? Could be that the auto focus system is spoilt due to that? Happened earlier to me on N20U

I have a problem with the camera, meaning that as soon as I open the application I hear a noise (two shots) and if I look at the camera in the meantime, I see that the sensor moves. What can I do?
I have a Litening 1.2!

I dont think that is a Problem had that clicking to on other phones its the lens that focuses, clicking 2 times when you aktivate the camera and when you switch
to Video mode,
The problem with the Cam for me is the real bad Focus, its almost imposible to scan barcodes etc. with google googles , etc..
im on newst Cam Firmware !
got 2 with this camera noise and 3 without.
no clue if it's okay ? why different... other lenses ?

Did you update through Samsung apps on your phone?
If not, you might have installed a wrong version that doesn't match up with the cam hardware in your phone.
I'm not sure if this a valid reason, but there are some different cams out there which need different firmware versions

this is mostly because there are at least 3 different cam manufacturers, you can see this clearly because of their different firmware versions (which is of course vendor specific)!

ya, that clicking is part of your problem, it is sitting to far out and can't go back. It shouldn't smack the housing and make clicking noises. I have this issue to, might send it it to be fixed or wait for replacement parts to become available.
Same problem but worst
Me and a buddy of mine both bought the 9100 together of the same shlef. Mine does the clicking sound and his doesn't. But my problem is worst here because it seems that no photo outside of 20cm range comes out in focus.
I am just unable to take a decent photo of anything further than this.
Could a FW fix solve this? how do i know what is my cam mode is? and which FW belongs to it?

I also have issue with the camera: the auto focus is not working at all.
I can't tell if it's after flashing litening 1.2 or if it has always been the case...
I have applyed the samsung camera firmware upgrade.
hmmm...i think when designgears says the clickcklick sound of the camera is a defect, then it is one
i can't really belive in this vendor specific camera moduls for a noise reason... that whould be just to much quaility difference if samsung is doing that ?!

I and 4 of my friends have the phone One with litening Rom1.2 the others all have stock one of them made yesterday the firmware update the other 2 not
and we all have the clicking sound !!
can it be that so many devices have this defective cam,
and non of us coud get a good focus on close distances 10 - 15 cm
I just caled samsung support Austria and they sayd the clicking is normal !
I also have the clicking from the beginning and i havent experienced any Problems. Neither with Barcodes nor with photos. But to be sure someone should test the exact same scenes with 2 devices and post the results.
I dont really remember but i think the clicking just started after the Camera Firmware Update.
I have clicking with camera360 app and no clicking with standard camera .....
Focusses perfect down to 10 cm even when then going to max zoom
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
how can i test if it is focusing good ? which mode and settings ? thx
Clicking sound; no problems.
It looks like the clicking is a symptom
It looks like the clicking is a symptom, and what I think it means is that the lens is not sitting in its right position.
I assume that the further the lens sits from its intended position, the worst the focus will be.
All in all, if the lens sits pretty close to its intended position then the photos will come out good even though you hear clicking.
On the other hand, other people might be less lucky and the lens position will be totally off and so will not be able to take decent photos at all...
This is of course my theorem, not my knowledgeable absolute...
It's funny how the clicking of the camera is ALWAYS an issue with every new phone for some people. Many phones have it (not only the SGS2) and it's normal. Some people might have problems with the camera and the focus, but it has nothing to do with the clicking sound. It's just the camera's initialization.
Hello everyone,
My first thread here. I wanted to get you guys feedback on a problem I'm having with autofocus on the camera of my Evo 4G LTE. It seems like more than half the time I'm trying to take a picture the autofocus is going crazy and won't focus at all and leaves me with a blurry unfocused screen and he only way to get it to focus is for me to close the camera app and reopen it. I haven't found a way to turn off continuous autofocus. I was wondering if any of you had this problem with the camera or was it just me? If so what workarounds have you tried?
I've tried clearing the camera app data but that really did nothing for me. Any suggests would be nice, thanks!
I do not have this issue. Ive had to fight with it on rare occasion but thats just when it was focusing on something far away when i was trying to get a close up shot. im sure theres a way.

That's funny.. all this time i thought i was the only one having this same problem. Closing and re-launching the app works for me as well. its a bit inconvenient, but it doesnt happen all the time.
This happened to me. Took it to sprint and they gave me a NIB.

I had the same problem with my pre order phone. Returned it to best buy and got a new one with a flickering screen. Lol when I went to best buy I told the guy I was having problems with it he said with what the non focusing camera the flickering screen or the red pictures. That's pretty bad when they already know what the problems are a couple weeks after pre orders went out. I posted a YouTube video with the focus screwing up but I can't post a link to it yet.

If will focus lock if you're holding the camera button in the focus detent. I tested this myself, stuck it close to my keyboard and let it focus, then moved to focus on my TV, and then back to my keyboard and held the button in focus for a second or two while moving back to my TV and it didn't focus when I released the button till I went and pointed it at my keyboard again, then it started focusing again, and it focused on my TV after that.
BTW, what hardware revision is your phone? Mine is 003.
My wife's release date phone had this issue. If you focus on something close it wont refocus at any other focus length. I ended up returning it for a NIB one and never saw the issue again.
No it didn't matter what you did once it locked in it wouldn't auto focus at all unless you backed out and then back in. I don't know what rev it was since it was taken back to best buy about a week after I got it. I even tried other camera apps and it did the same thing. Even the autofocus clicking sound was a substantial popping sound. It was louder than the phone I have now.

Also i Just tested the holding down the detent to hold the focus. It didn't work for me as soon as I moved it refocused.

I just tap on the screen to refocus if I have a problem (area I want in focus).
Seems like the focus works half the time, the other half it just sits there blurry and won't focus no matter if I try click on the screen somewhere or take a picture. The only way I've been getting it to focus is by reopening the camera app and sometimes even that doesn't work. I think I'm going to exchange it tomorrow.

I bought the phone on July 1st from Best Buy and it's still under the 30day warranty.
Would you guys characterize the issue like this to some extent?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710876
I went and traded in my old one today. Thankfully it went smoothly and I got one without the update! So far the autofocus on this one works perfectly. Will keep you all updated.
good luck ^
I'm considering taking mine into a Sprint store to have them look at it. I dont have TEP, I'm outside of my 30 day window, rooted, and S-Off.
I wonder if they're going to give me a hard time.
So I don't know when this issue started, but my camera tends to be blurry. A LOT. I've noticed the issue usually occurs when trying to take a picture/video in low-light conditions. Trying to focus it doesn't help at all. The only thing that seems to (temporarily) fix it is to get out of the camera app, kill the camera via task manager, and start the app again. I think the problem lies within the actual phone, since it occurs on all ROMs, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think.? Have any of you guys experienced this problem as well.?

My phone has a hard time staying focused. I will tap the screen to get it to focus, but I find myself holding my breath trying to be still as possible and I'll still get a slightly blurry pic. And also issues with the sharpness.
But I don't know how to root a phone or do all the stuff that people talk about on this forum site. Is there anything else I can do, or would the ppl at the actual Sprint store know how to get the camera to take better pics without me having to go in and change a bunch of settings every time?
Any help/suggestions would be reallllly appreciated

So, hi guys.
I just came home with my new Z2 after giving back my Z.
I downloaded the german ftf and the new flashtool for the Z2 and updated to this firmware.
I'm really not sure if this is related to the firmware update but I don't think so.
My issue is quite simple: the camera autofocus doesn't work. It just simply has a fixed focus (which works great for the near stuff but 100% fails for all other distances).
It's not a slow autofocus, it just doesn't work, the camera doesn't move, you don't hear any focusing noise. the camera button doesn't focus, tap on the screen doesn't focus.
Basically all my pictures and my videos have an amazing quality, but are all out of focus.
I googled around but looks like nobody has this issue. Is that fatal? Should I return it?

Xperia and almost all smartphones have digital focus
there s no special hardware for zooming
SO if you have problem in one feature of camera App do this;
- use another camera app : for example google camera and check if it can do auto focus
- install another firmware or just reinstall current firmware
- repair firmware by PCC
- after these IF sill thr s no auto focus >> take it to sony service
:good:

Autofocus and (digital) zoom are two different things.
I just update the 402 firmware and now my camera won't focus at all. It was fine before. Wtf...
Got the same Problem as you i have cyanogenmod 12.1 and my autofocus doesn't work as well on my z2. It worked with the stock Rom but after i unlocked, rooted and flashed CM on it, the autofocus doesn't work anymore. I Tried other camera apps but the AF just won't work. Have you solved the Problem yet? I'm considering to flash back to stock Rom but CM is so awesome

I can confirm that the focus button doesn't work on CM12.1 on my Z2 and the focus state doesn't work on the Google camera app, but I found an app that makes use of this autofocus feature - DSLR Camera Pro. The only downside to it, however, is that you can only take photos with it, and plus it's a paid app (but was worth it). Maybe there are other apps that can detect this autofocus, but I haven't researched this problem fully.
a m i feel the same tried and nothing drm reset the camera still faulty even if anyone has any solution please write
Same problem here...
Same issue except it won't even take photos and just sits there trying to focus.
The only fix is to revert to the previous official OS if you think it's worth it...

I hate necro-ing, but I have this last described problem too. Phone tries to focus, and the app stays that way forever.
I thought it was the result of restoring a TWRP backup from another phone, but resetting anything camera-related does not solve the problem.

Hitting the top part of the phone where camera module is located with the back of my finger helped. This happened to me after flashing a camera mod.
It's now working without problems
Hey everyone. So asking for a friend that has the phone.
When trying to use the camera app, everything seems to be out of focus, as if it doesn't wanna adjust. Played around with settings, and wiped data/cache.
I've installed another camera app with manual controls of focus, iso and what not, but still the same.
I think he updated it pretty recent because he is running on 8.1.0.
Just asking to see if anyone else is having similar issues.

Camera issues
So I've had this phone since November 7th and when I got it I noticed the camera was pretty good. After I updated it I noticed that there have been some focus issues and some other problems I pretty much got it day one in the USA through shipping. When I first received it it was fine and now after updating it I've noticed some issues. I think this is a software issue. Since I've gotten it I think I've updated it four times and I retested the camera and I've gone through a few settings. It's not the same as when I first used it. So, I don't think this is a hardware issue at all I totally believe this is software problem. Let me know your thoughts.
I just started to have this issue as well. I am not sure if its hardware or software related but the problem seems to have cropped up after my lastest firmware update.
It was me who had this issue, it was related to a defective Laser Autofocus.
