the back camera doesn't have any focus moves, when taking pictures close up, it doesn't do macro even if u set it to. bar code apps do not work at all. please help. currently running Ota 2.3.4, did not try the camera before the update.
Hold yr finger down on the camera button, it then focuses, release to take the shot, well that's how my i9023 works.

thanks, sure I did that all the time.
I have a i9023 and the camera works perfect. Try to restore your camera settings.
Or maybe you have a broken camera!

The button is so freaking sensitive. Camera took 186 pictures of my ceiling last night while I was sleeping because the pillow on the seat barley touched it. Last night I put my feet on the table and from the vibrations the camera turned on and took pictures. One point it came on and I switched to video camera to see what it's doing, and with out pressing the button the video camera would start and stop recording. I got the phone yesterday :-( I put on the pattern lock to stop it somehow but the screen still turns on and I know from my G2 that it will kill the battery no matter what you do on Android. Any help?

Interesting...I haven't had this issue with the camera button.
Sent from my HTC Doubleshot using xda premium
oright cool, thanks guys. Thought it was the whole "phone built around the camera" concept that they thought it was a good idea to be able to take picture quickly. Thanks guys.
Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with your phone.
One of the MyTouch 4Gs issues is one of it's features..
you can activate the camera, even with the screen locked by holding down the shutter button. Sure it's good for those quick shots, but it's giving you an issue.
However to have a button that sensitive is not normal, please return it and get yourself one that works.
OP, just to be clear, which button are you referring to when you say, the camera button?Do you mean the silver one on the bottom right side of the phone?
Yeah I hardly touched it and it would start the camera. I'm back to using my G2 till T-Mo loyalty sends me another new one. Thanks for the help guys.
So... this probably came up here and there - since google is FULL of this problem on skyrocket.
I bought my wife a skyrocket a year ago.
A few weeks later, the pictures started to come out blurry.
I've tried everything - cleaning the lens, reseting the camera settings to defaults, playing with auto-focus, soft reset, hard reset, updating android via kies.
It still came blurry.
One day - it suddenly got sharp again!
We were very pleased, but then, a few weeks later - blurry again.
Since then, we had it twice again, but this time the blurry is here for good.
Front camera is sharp and running.
Does anyone know why is this happening or if there is a solution to the problem?
Thanks!

No.
Will it help? If yes, how so?
I got a used skyrocket (AT&T), it's on stock ICS. The quality of the pictures from that aren't sharp either. I have been searching too.

Just in case, I noticed you didn't mention Anti-Shake. For some reason it is not a default, but easily toggled.
Question: With AF and Auto Flash enabled, If you compose a shot at a distance of 7", does holding the soft Shutter button cause the screen to visible adjust focus and the white rectangle to go green with a confirmation beep?

Thanks for the feedback.
I did try playing with Anti-shake - no luck.
When I hold the soft shutter button, the screen does have the white recrangle, and it goes green before taking the picture.
Nevertheless, the picture, even after the rectangle goes green, is still blurry all along.
any app out there that will allow me to hold the shutter button ,,,,then it turns on the flash and focuses on the image so i can take better night pictures. my night pics are coming out blurred out.

thanks ....u are the second person to say that now i finally figured it out
Hi guys, im new to sony xperia z1. Bought it recently. So far im loving it but one problem I have is the camera is tooo slow... friend's phone (iphone6) takes pictures really fast, the moment u press the button u take a picture, so u can press the button like 5 times in 2 seconds and take 5 pics.
With z1 however once I press it, it takes like 2 secs to autofocus before taking picture.. Is there an app to fix this?

This depends on the camera sensor in your phone, you cant make it work faster with an app.
Ofcourse you can speedup the camera opening progress but so far i know, not the speed of taking pictures.
U have try hold the camera button?
U can also use lower resolution
like 2 or 5
Try timeshift burst..

This is because in iphone, the camera is continuously auto focusing, and retaining that focus even after you have taken the pic, while on stock android camera, the camera resets the focus point to infinity after each pic.
If you are lucky, you may find a camera app on google play which may overcome this limitation.
Happened twice now on back camera. After unlocking and went to camera, it cant focus on anywhere. Everything is blurred even if touch the screen to focus near or far.
If i give it a little shake everythings going back to normal. 2 weeks i have this unit and it happened twice. Is it normal or my unit has a defect?
Thank you
Edit.....it only focus near..like macro shots cant focus more than that. Happened after pulling it out of my pocket after a long walk...
Happened to me too on camera mode

I hope someone can answer this...will wait for their opinions.
Have not encountered this. I use my camera heavily.
I advise going to a Samsung service center and letting them debug it.

I read this somewhere that there are some encountering this. They clear camera cache (in which i tried and luckily a good start) or simply tap or a little shake your phone and focus comes back again.
Hope it will not occuer after clearing camera cache

I cleared the cache before I shook it. Didn't help.

My phone do the same. Tap your phone on the side, and focus will be on.
If shaking the phone fixed it the problem is likely a failing ois mechanism. I would swap asap.
