Hi people... has anybody noticed camera autofocus issue for closure capture? I face this issue not all the time but yes, most of the time. I thought of checking it here just to see if its software issue and many users face it OR its hardware issue with my phone so that i can visit service center.
Pls help. I have attached sample pics for reference. This happens for closer capture of any object.

I have the same issue on 5.0.2. I usually focus on something far away, and then again on something closer in range.
Do you want to capture close things? Because if things are too close, the camera autofocus won't work as there is an autofocus distance technically. What you can try is to put your camera in Pro/Manual mode and try to focus manually

Try using pro mode

Ohh.. do you all mean to say that if object is close to camera autofocus does not work properly. So its not my phone issue. Even other phones behaves in same manner??
I will try pro mode

Yes try Pro Mode and you'll be able to focus properly. Cheers.

But can you also help to know that if closer object capture is always an issue for proper autofocus irrespective of any mobile phone.

I don't think that even a $5000 DSLR will take a fully focused really close picture. In case of my device it makes noise when using camera which samsung commented "it's a normal thing due to ois on some phones" so I guess I can live with that. Even though they want $300 to replace whole motherboard. When device was on warranty. You can contact samsung but if You have Knox 0x1. Then warranty is gone forever. And even a headphone port replacement will cost You $300 because "samsung knows the best and they are sure that it's the motherboards problem which was caused by Your way of using it".

Not just for mobile even regular DSLR Cameras, because each macro close-up lens has its own focusing distance which vary depending on the lens itself

I was taking some photos last night, and had quite a bit of difficulty trying to focus the image especially with the flash. Other people were taking photos to and the edge took very poor images when both flashes were active. I have upgraded from a galaxy S4 and noticed that it takes some time to process and focus the image is there can be many moving focal points.
Yeah its a hit or miss on the focus. At least in my phone. I could only get it to focus twice out of many tries. Those two focuses took pretty pictures thou. But that's unacceptable. The reason I'm asking is because it could be this phone. I hope we get more responses of people experience with the camera.

I have no problem with mines. It works great and i even focus on my jeans and could see all the stitching.
Try to clear the camera data.
drag the camera icon to app info. Then clear data and clear cache.
I had to do this on another phone long time ago.
Thank you xile6, I've already clear data and cache several times. Yes if I but my finger close to lens I can make up my finger print, looks nice but when I try to focus on a object about 5 feet away, it doesn't focus.

My camera is fine too... Don't seemt o have any issues. Check your setting, maybe you have selective focus on?
Thank you all, I think it's a hardware problem. I've checked all the modes and it's the same thing. I've performed a factory reset and it's the same. Going to have to pay a visit to the store tomorrow.

Confirmed, defective phone. They replaced the phone with another new one and this one know focus and takes very nice pictures. The lady didn't even hesitate to swap it. Maybe they had another return with the same issue. Thank you all for the feedback.

Thats good you got it return. Glad they had more in stock for the return.
I sure hope its not alot of them that have this problem. I remember the HTC One M7 had purple tint in low light. It would happen months after having the phone.
I hink this is a samsung issue. My gear 2 got stuck in micro mode and had to be replaced too.
I can defently tell you that I bought a defective phone. They replaced it and the camera came from bad to super nice .

Here is my topic : Note 4 camera won't lock focus + blurry edges on pictures with far focus
Best regards,

Sounds like a Samsung problem. My wife is on her second Note Edge with a focus problem. It focuses when you shake the camera. AT&T had told me twice that it's a software problem. Apparently they think we are idiots.
They won't warranty the second phone even though it's only 7 days old because the we bought her first phone 31 days ago.... 1 day past the 30 day warranty. I hate the crooks at AT&T.
Mine has this problem intermittently. When i close out and go back in it seams to focus
Sent form my Samsung Galaxy® Note Edge
I think the selected SD card may cause the focus delaying. i selected device option and the focus instantly enabled. anyone can experiment the location selection whoever has microsd inserted?
I don't have an SD card in mine so it goes straight to the internal storage

I also want to support as many devices as possible but the OEM somehow decided that they do not want to put effort in making the new camera API available when upgrading to Lollipop.

Sorry for my late reply. How does it happen as the image size of front camera is larger than rear camera? Have you check the settings in the photo resolution ?
BIG update 2.0:
- Record videos with full manual controls !
- Option to mute shutter/recording sound
- Exposure bracketing (pro)
- A better UI
I checked already.. even in the latest version it's the same file size from front camera is larger

Hi, I noticed that there's a gap between frame and body of my galaxy s6 at the lower right corner, it's about one millimeter or maybe less, is it normal or not ?

Then go ask for refund or new device. It's not normal to have gap.
There should be no gaps between the frame and screen.. You should return it to place of purchase or warranty claim it they Samsung.

And finally, are we Europeans getting the EXYNOS?

I think this is Exynos but I cannot be certain. Any application I use to check the specs comes back as "Processor Unknown"
In regards to the pictures, all I can say is the first few were taken in extremely dark environments and whilst I was pleased with the results when viewing on screen, when enlarged they are not fantastic.
HOWEVER I don't think I have ever used a camera on a smartphone as good as this in low light. In normal lighting conditions, the 6S Plus (my daily driver) seems better but this is without extensive testing, the S7 really shines in low light situations.
It's as great camera and I doubt anybody will have any issues with its performance.
In regards to the S7 itself, there is the occasional lag on the operating system however all in all it builds on last year and it's much smoother.
I've owned every Galaxy S device, and by far this is the best generation but anybody coming from an S6 will struggle to be excited. It's certainly not as fluid as a 6P, which I have owned too.

I would think because that is how most people actually take pictures when it is dark... So it is a real world test, not some theoretical/lab nonsense.

Really for a low light test you really shouldn't be using the flash lol.
Maybe so, but pretty much everyone I know leaves the settings all on auto, which usually uses the flash when it's dark.

If you use the flash which we all know is a light source then how can you test how the camera performs in low light?

Just received my galaxy s7. Front facing camera is blurry like hell. Its much inferior than galaxy s6 and my oneplus one. Definitely something wrong with this. No smudges on lens too. Not a faulty device too as i have seen so many posts about this issue. How can we escalate this issue to samsung? And i youtube i can see lot of very good quality front facing videos.

As per my observation. A software fix will do the job. Focusing is fine for background objects (unintended areas)
And details are also very good. While i am trying to take a selfie there are no details much. Now i have tried taking along with my hand (i just put my hand in front of my face) in this case my face got focused with good details and my hand went into out of focus. This must be treating background as forground and vice-versa. This is just my observation.
