I don't know why, but when I try to take macro pictures a certain distance, I hold the camera button halfway so the focus is made, I then see the picture getting real clear and suddenly a pop from clear to blurry, and it tells me the focus is done, anyone else experienced this? I mean, at a bigger distance I'm able to take the picture correctly, but if I'm a little close this happens, and since during the focus I do see the picture crystal clear for half a sec it should work I guess..?
God I miss my XSi...
I ve got the same... its irritating and its all because of ****ty camera software... i tried with vingette and focus works as it should...

It's soooo annoying :/
Would've been nice if there was a manual focus mode.
Hello,
Anyone having an issue with their camera suddenly not working? Specifically, the camera will suddenly stop responding to the shutter button. I see the button "glowing" when I press it, but the camera will not snap the picture. It does this no matter what setting I choose. Even if I force close the app, it will continue doing the same thing. The solution is to reboot the entire phone to get it working again.
I have another Nexus 4 which I bought for my gf and she had the same exact issue. This was happening all last night (Thanksgiving dinner) trying to take family photos. To make matters worse, the issue first appeared when I handed my phone to my friend who has an iPhone. He immediately laughed on how it could not even do a simple task. lol
I am wondering if it was due to a low light condition and somehow caused a bug as I have been unable to reproduce the issue since this morning on both phones. Even when the flash was manually set to on, you can tap the screen which turns on the flash momentarily; however, when this issue was occuring, the flash LED would remain lit until I manually closed the app.
So I was using my phone yesterday to take pictures of my computer. I tried on two occasions to touch and zoom in on an area (which worked fine) but as soon as I press the shutter button to take the picture, the phone would make a weird noise (seems to be coming from the lens?) then it just freezes. It eventually took the picture after the reset.
I have to hold my power button to get it to fully reset. Then this morning I noticed that my clock and date were all messed up.. set back to 1970 and time was reset.
Anyone else experienced this before? Nothing else is wrong with the phone but I'm not sure if this would be a software or hardware issue.
Thanks.
Yeah Ive had the camera app lock up a few times. Shutter button does nothing (didnt notice any sounds as I was outdoors), closing the camera app does not fix it, full restart is necesary but my clock worked fine at boot. Ive also had an issue where if you touch to focus and then swipe to see the gallery then the LED flash will stay lit indefinetly, forcing you to go back to the camera app and re-focus.
What rom / kernel are you guys using ?
Not sure if this is related but I've had the camera refuse to take pictures a lot, especially in low light - the camera cannot seem to focus so hitting the shutter button does nothing. I find switching to another mode (video for example) and then back again sometimes cures it. I've also had it lock up and leave the flash on. I'm surprised this got through testing as it seems quite a common issue from other N4 users I've spoken to.

Same issue here too - just received mine 2 days ago and I sometimes need to change the camera to video mode then back to picture mode for it to be able to take pictures again.
Pure vanilla phone here, no custom kernels or any roms of any kind.. hell my phone isn't even rooted.. lol.
I've just started to notice that since I've been trying to take more pics with my phone lately.
And yes I've been seeing issues with the camera not wanting to take shots or focus properly either.
Same issues yesterday i was taking pics of my x-mas tree and gifts, suddenly the camera wouldn't focus anymore, had to restart the camera app, also auto focus is really not functioning too well... It can't seem to lock when focused on a subject...

Same
Same issue....pain in the ASS. SOMEONE HAD TO HAND ME THEIR IPHONE TO TAKE THE PIC. F#CK THAT SH#T!!!!!!!! FIx ASAP!
I've recently purchased a Huwaei Nexus 6P. It's fantastic in every way including the camera... That is of course, when I can get the app to work. I use the camera to take pictures and occasionally video about 5% of the time. The app just hangs on the screen just before the viewfinder appears, and the only way to get the camera working again is to reboot the phone! It's incredibly frustrating, because everything about this phone is flawless! Anyone got any ideas?
you might have to take advantage of the warranty to get a replacement, if it persists, when i open the camera app on my Nexus 6P, i do not get that issue. however, i have only owned mine for less than 1 day. so we shall see....
BTW, i'm curious, does it still do that even if you double tap the power button when screen is off?
I've noticed that it only really does it when I come back from videoing something. It doesn't do it with the double tap the power button also, I don't think it's the handset, just the app I think
Mine acts a little wonky at times too. I tried to reproduce the issue you said you're having and can't get mine to do that, however mine does a few other weird things.
The camera on my phone takes a lot of double photos. I'll snap a pic and look through the photos quick and i'll see 2 of the same pic, but the google photos app only shows 1. If I delete that pic then both disappear from the camera app. I also get some pics that turn out as just a grey screen like the photo doesn't process completely. I've also had a few pics randomly disappear after closing the camera app. I'm really hoping it's just a buggy camera app.
I get the same issue as the op. But mine eventually says "cannot connect to camera" after 10 seconds or so.. Have factory reset a couple of times too..
Also my NFC of pictures from oneplus one doesn't work, 6p goes blank screen whenever I try to send...
Is there a way to take a picture while shooting video? If not, is there an app that you can recommend?
Unfortunately the camera situation is a bit beta-ish
I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem or possibly a solution for me. I have the h990ds and its stock with the latest update installed. when i launch the camera either from the icon on the home screen or by the shortcut by double pressing the volume down, it takes at least 2-3 seconds to open, sometimes more. i don't really experience this issue with any other apps (i say really because once in a while an app may take the same time to launch). Also, when actually snapping the photo, it often takes the same amount of time to actually capture, on auto and on manual mode. Finally, the viewfinder image is really, really choppy with a very low frame rate until i start shooting video, at which point it looks fine. i am hoping someone else can help out since i dont want to root or flash custom roms to get the performance i see others having on videos online
thanks much guys
Did you ever figure it out? Mine sometimes takes 5-10 seconds to load. Once it was over 30.
Try uninstall or force stop "One Drive:. It works for me.
yeah the cameras slow. if the screens off, it's bc of androids ****ty doze feature. it's such trash.
