When I start any camera app on my Lumia 1020 the picture is blurry if I'm pointing the camera at anything over 6 inches away or so. When I push the camera button in it attempts to focus. Sometimes it will focus on distant objects the way it should, but most of the time it does not and everything stays blurry.
I can't click any scenery images because it dosent focus .i can click macro/near images without any problem .
ill upload some pics
this are the images which i was able to focus without any problems

so please tell me why i am not able to focus ? i tried pro cam ,normal cam app and 3rd party cam app no help . i can focus near images but not far images .
Tried factory reset too.no use.
Welcome to the Lumia 1020 Forum first and foremost..
Second, this is actually a hardware problem with the camera unfortunately.
You can focus up close because the camera lens has shifted too far away from the sensor. This allows really close up images, but when it comes to infinity focusing (landscapes and images further than 5 feet) you cannot get autofocus far away and cannot get it to focus to infinity..
Sadly since this is a HARDWARE problem you have to replace the camera on the phone.
Wish I could give you better news than this.
Cheers

yes I did gave my phone to Nokia care , they checked and told me that camera is faulty and needs to replaced so I said yes , but later even after changing camera did not solve the problem , so they said PCB -Main board needs to be replaced,so I sold the phone .
I will buy refurbished phone from ebay soon .
Thanks for reply .
Infinity focus problem can be solved by choosing manual focus and then moving the slider till you see the "m" symbol. do not slide into the "infinity" symbol, just before that.

I've opened a thread here describing this problem. Maybe it could help you
I too have same problem with camera... sad to know its a hardware problm... sucks
I just got my Galaxy S6 on Monday.
I've noticed that the front facing camera on my S6 will not focus on my face if I try to take a picture. The rear camera is wonderful, and I've looked at the front camera on a friend's S6 and it was fine. So it just seems to be my phone. Otherwise, I love it and think it's great.
But what's the deal with my blurry front camera?

It's a known problem with Galaxy S6/S6 Edge phones. Try shaking the phone very aggressively to fix it.
Hi everyone,
I recently bought an Samsung Galaxy Core LTE SM-G386F for 40$
The problem with it is that its rear camera was super dusty and dirty,i cleaned the glass..and images are now much better but still blurry as hell..i can see that camera lens is still something like foggy,and i can't wipe that off..i tried for an hour or so to clean that..
Can somebody tell me how can i fix that...whatever i do,camera lens is still foggy,and images are blurry
My phone's front facing camera gives my face a blurry look while background seems to be finely focused. I know that this has been a problem for many s7 users too. I wonder what you guys think about that if i go to samsung service and have my front camera changed, can this problem possibly be solved ? Anyone tried this yet? , any results?
I think it may have to do with the fact that the camera is fixed focus, not autofocus like almost any other phone front camera. Having it replaced might not do much if the error is within the phone's configuration (in the NAND), but if Samsung will do it for free, why not try?
I really want a solution to this annoying detail. Looking for people who tried this as a solution and got any result on this particular problem.
But as you said, why not if it's free of charge.
i got a new camera in my s7 and its same...i told them it makes blurry images and they replaced the camera but its the same again...still blurry...background is fine but my face is smudged...even 5 year old nokia does it better... someone sad that sgs7 front camera is set to infinity mode ,but u cant change it so ur stuck with it....shame on Samsung....overall probably the best in android world ,specialy the back camera focus... and for the note Samsung will replace ur camera for free...THEY MUST!!! hope i helped u clarify things...cheers.
I have tested my Black Onyx S7 and havent had any issues with the internal 'selfie' camera.
Clear and sharp images of my grumbly mug at the office,, working on a weekend *grumble*
Might be worth checking with Samsung, see if they will swap it out and offer some feedback?
Thanks for the experience sharing. I know that many samsung s7 has this problem but what frustrates me is that i checked one other s7 in store and it was better in quality in terms of sharpness and details. So why not my phone have that quality. That is my problem
This is a flagship phone and s4 takes better selfies. Samsung should beware of this problem, should feel sorry and replace front cameras with better ones in services.
Hi guys,
I appreciate that this is a specific Mix 2 question but couldnt see a mix 2 section yet to post in.
I recieved my Mix 2 about a week ago and my first impressions are that its a great phone - it does everything I want....... apart from when it comes to the cameras.
Firstly, the quality is pretty bad and a large step back from the oppo find 7 I am switching from. Both front and rear facing cameras fail to properly focus and always seem to take photos like there is a dirty lens, a sort of soft look, most obvious when photographing text, which just isnt sharp at all.
Secondly, it appears that the second rear facing camera doesn't do anything - is it even real?!? I believe its there for the optical zoom option, but even when you zoom in with the camera app, you can still cover this camera and it has no effect on the photo, therefore it is not used.
Any ideas on how to improve the picture quality? I presume its going to be a case of waiting for Doogee or some developers to take this device on to update the firmware......
Thanks

A new update of the firmware is being "cooked" to solve this problem.
I know that will be released soon.

It would be great... Camera performance is the main issue of the device. On the other hand, all the other features are quite well
Sorry to put this query here. Even i haven't got any place to right it down. I also have a same problem. Rear camera not working. Bought this phone specially for camera specifications. When will be the updates release to make the second rear camera work. Even 8 MP Nokia camera takes better picture than this 16 MP. And there are many bugs. Many apps crashes. And on YouTube I have seen many videos which shows many camera app showing 4k video recording option, but I think that was after update and I still haven't received it.i show that video 1 month back.
New update from company has improved the camera lil bit. But still not a usable one. And it keeps on hunting for focus in video.
From morning all Google apps are getting closed by itself. Please help to solve the issue in mix 2
no updates have improved the camera on this phone for me so far. Taking photos of static images is ok - maybe 6/10, if I use whatsapp to take a photo of anything it always appears very soft and a little blurred. If I try to take a photo of my cat.....no chance, the shutter is so slow, unless the object doesnt move at all you cant capture the image. I do like the phone and previously havent been bothered about camera specs, but that was when all my previous phones could take decent pictures. This might be the reason I get rid of this phone in a few months, it turns out a decent camera is a must for me - I was spoilt with my Oppo find 7, which had an incredible camera

+1 about camera perfrmance, i bought it to do a review and the camera is the worst thing in an otherwise decent phone. I did a comparison with the honor 7x, which has a much better camera at the same price.

Hallo guys, there isn't a procedure to flash Google camera hdr+ on this smartphone o mediatek CPU. I founded everything for Qualcomm but nothing to mediatek.
