[Q] Infuse: Auto focus problem

When I use barcode scanning and macro on photos, my infuse can't focus well Barcodes are ok it can capture the moment that the phone focus at the right place, but for macro photo, it can't get the focus done in 90% of the time.
In the beginning I saw the camera keep changing its focus and then focus on a right point, it didn't stop. It would go across the right point finally blur again ,there are two situations:
1. Stop at red box: can't focus.
2. Focus at a wrong distance.
Please help me, I'm not sure if its a defect or software problem.
Thanks

Some sample photos from my rear camera

You might also try focusing on not quite as close as what you're taking a photo of and then snapping the photo of your subject. Sometimes the camera might have a problem with the shadows of what you're trying to take a picture of.

My 7 month old infuse had the same problem. I took it to the local AT&T store, they verified it and called some 800# for me and I received a new phone in 4 days. no charge.

A solution is found!
I understand that this is a super old thread but I suddenly fixed the problem stated above and I remembered my post, expecting this could help a few people.
Setting the camera resolution to 5MP instead of 8MP.
It did work, I hope that it would help people that are still having this problem.

[Q] Dust on camera lens or dead pixels camera sensor?

The other day I was taking a photo and found out the photo had a black spot.
The first thought was, it must be dust on the camera glass.
Removed the rear cover, cleaned the camera glass, took a new photo, black spot is still there.
As can be seen on the first three attached photos the black spot is only visible in the camera view and on the photo.

}
Now I am thinking that it could either be:
Dust between the camera glass and the camera lens, or
Dead pixels on the camera sensor
What do you think?
I was wondering if anybody has seen this before?

I'm inclined to think that's some crap in the lens, not dead pixels.
It's a decent size spot, I would think something has come adrift to allow something that large to get inside your lens.
Someone else might think different though.

update plz
can u plz temme what was the real problem?? n did it get repaired??or did the phone have to be replaced??

¿Did you try taking a photo with another camera app?
¿Did you try wiping cache/dalvik cache? ¿Are you root?

It's a 9 month old thread, bud.
Also, this is a dirty camera that has absoslutely nothign to do with hardware or software problem. It's pysically dirty.

Camera problem

Hi, I'm very glad of my HTC but I have Strange problem with camera. When I have to take a picture and have strong source of light in front of me, I see strange light objects - something like reflection of this source of light. The same with the sun, light bulb etc
Do you have the same problem or it is typical only for my device?
Thanks for support.

Can you post a sample photo here or a link to a photo? That would help to identify the problem

I tried but sth is not OK with this link.
Maybe this time. https://zapodaj.net/c694613bb0b07.jpg.html

You can see it on the door.

Not got that issue on mine, looks like a glare but I'm no expert in regards to photography.

This looks like lens flare. If it is lens flare, it is sometimes caused by a dirty lens which you could reduce or minimize by cleaning the front of the lens with clean cloth and if you can't, move the phone around a little wrt to where the strong light source is can help.
Even the best lenses can have lens flare but so far, I haven't seen it much in my own U11+

The glass is clean. I don't know what to do becouse this is very strange for me. Probably I have give it to check by service.

Xiaomi Black Shark + Google Camera = ❤️

Hi everybody
The latest GCamera Mod from @Arnova8G2 seems to be working great on the Black Shark.
I tested it on my CN version, so far everything (except slow-mo, didn't test that) seems to be working.
A few comparison shots taken with stock Camera app and Google Camera can be found here.
A shot of Google Camera normal setting vs Night Sight in almost complete darkness here.
This is the version i installed to test: GCam Post Link
Here's the thread, taken from the OP6 section: Thread
It looks to me that the Google Camera is able to get more details into the photos, especially in the close ups. I'm actually impressed!
Test it and share your results!

Nice one, for me the front facing camera cant save photos, it shows ok and the camera is working but if i click to take a photo nothing happens, no photo is saved.

Does it still not save pictures for the front camera?
Also, does it work for global rom?

Download link doesn't work (anymore).

Hi, I tried the version that you recommended. It's working fine if using rear camera, but for some reason front camera only shoots 5mp images instead of 20mp.

Macro capabilities

It seems like the macro ability of this phone is not that great. I'm noticing that my Note 8 was able to get closer and take clearer shots. Is there some magic setting that needs to be set to get macros shots working correctly, or is it another case of it is what it is?

All lens has a fixed minimum focal range. That limitation is physical and by design.

I understand this. I just wasn't sure if there was something that I needed to set to get macro mode to work or if it is automatic.

Try the longest lens, and try adding a slight amount of digital image enlargement around 20% if no dedicated setting is present.

In the camera Photo mode, approach the object within an inch or two. At this distance, a "2x" will appear at the bottom left of the view image. See attached image. Touch the 2x and as instructed, back away a little until the instruction vanishes and the image is in sharp focus then take the picture. Note that this is not an extreme macro. The attached image is burred because it was captured before backing away.
