hello! it's just me in the camera does not allow me to focus in the whole left side of the screen? I'll explain when I press to focus on the entire central and right out the circle of focus come and so the image is focused, while on the left, across the strip below the key settings, if I press does nothing and the circle of focus doesen't appear.I have deleted the cache of the camera and does the same problem, while other cameras like the google cam work correctly .I haven't problem to touch because it works well on any app and also in test mode. it's the same for all the note 4? also you have this problem?How i can solve it?
sorry for my veeery bad english
No one?
It seems that you can only touch to focus in the center and just beyond the center of the frame - not near those buttons. This appears very much by design, and I'm sure Sammy wanted to avoid people accidently pressing buttons when they wanted to refocus - if you need to focus on something on the edge of the screen, bring the object to the middle of your viewfinder, press and hold (to lock focus) and re-frame the shot.
Glad I'm not alone with focusing problems...
Here is my topic : Note 4 camera won't lock focus + blurry edges on pictures with far focus
Best regards,

mine is...
after pressing half to focus, of course i need to press all to take the shot right?
but when i do so.. it defocus and refocus again usually...
if not while focusing, it will stop
it is as though the button has problem... anyone else have same prob?
same thing did happens in my x1 too..
reset to default setting would fix the problem temporary, n then it start defocusing again while pressing the cam button half away down to shutter..
my camera button was like this as well....
and i got a new replacement phone after going to the service centre.
you guys should do the same too...
I am not sure if I understand your problem, so if a am wrong ignore me .
From my expierience it means that it cannot focus correctly (especially in 'manual-focus' mode), mostly due to low-light since the Xperia uses contrast-based-autofocus.
One or more 'green blocks' (on automatic focus) indicate a successfull focus, does it do that at your devices?
nah.. i am a camera user.. its not.. its a problem... but hardware or software?? returning it is a hassle sigh
if you guys are looking for a quick fix to this, simply use the optical joystick button instead of the camera button to take the pic.
on a side note, i had the same exact problem on my old k800i, i just used the joystick to take pics instead of the camera button on the side of the phone.
how do u do that?
how do u semi depress?

That's not the smartest question. You could have pushed the button quicker and seen that it's automatic.
thats not the friendliest reply... most "photographer" will need a focus lock function .. hence asked about it..
anyway i went to SE and they told me nothing wrong with my button.. maybe software.. they will refresh the whole thing...
i got owned.
updates,
refresh did not help...
so its not hardware its not software... hence?
the button is just lousy???
anyone has solutions?
when i click the camera button to open the camera it doesnt alway work either. and yh it doesnt take pictures.
All i know is that the camera sucks really really really bad!!!
Its slow on focus
its slow with taking a picture so the smallest movement make the picture blurry
its worthless in the dark
the light does not help unless its something close by.
only good thing is that i can use the light to walk around the house when its dark and i dont want to turn on the lights.
i dont understand why it sucks so bad.
sony makes good camera's
why is it so hard to make a desent camera that is fast with a flash.
other brand do it,............
mine doesnt even start-up my camera...any way to assign another key to the camera? otherwise its crap!
what i think it is the problem of the button. it is really a bad design and make it hardly to press. i have tried so many times so that i believe that it is not software problem. it is just the stupid camera button...
so, i use the "enter" button of the optical joystick to shoot instead.
the mechanics insisted nothing wrong with the button..
sigh..
using the joystick, wont u loss the feature of focus lock?
but mine is no problem. I wonder if the X1 sell in your countries have more bugs than the one sell in HK? Case cracking problems and camera problems.. and so on!!
Hello!
My English is not very good but i will try to describe it.
I have bought an SE X1 black three weeks ago (after i selled an X1 in silver)
Now i make all the good stuff from the forum on my X1 and yesterday i try the camera.
I press the button, the camera starts to make a photo.
Then i press the button again to autofocus and the camera starts the focus, but again and again and the buttons come and go. after i pull down the button to shoot a photo the camera focus again and after 5-10 seconds shoot the photo.
This situation comes every photo i shoot.
With my X1 Silver i don't have this problems ;(
Does anybody know about my problem?
Sorry about my English but it's years ago
I would try to change the focus settings so it dont require your pointing on what it will focus one a feature i never much liked myself
I noticed that as long as I don't touch the screen to choose a point for the camera to focus on, it won't autofocus.
It should be like that?... will it focus only if I choose the point manually by touching the screen?...
Hold down the take photo button and it will auto-focus, release and photo.. I've noticed many cameras do it this way, but I too wish there were a way to tell the phone to always autofocus completely before taking a photo (I might be wrong, but I do get the impression too that it doesn't)
you can also go into the camera menu, and tick the check box to be on all the time
helps a lot of shaky hands like me
So, just curious if anyone knows if there's away to fix this or not. But I'm have problems with the camera and it focusing on close up objects. The only reason I bring this up is because when the camera app "tries" to focus, the subject in question will come into focus, clear as a bell, and then go right back out of focus and it'll take the picture. And yes, I've got spot focus on, and tap and hold the screen where the subject is. still nothing.
i'm hoping this isn't one of those hardware to software hindsight's where there's no way to force the camera to focus where you want it.

Not sure tap and hold screen part. You have your finger on the screen when taking the pic? Maybe I just misunderstood you. But you normally tape the screen where you want to focus and then it should focus automatically and then just snap your picture.

Nah, you do have to tap and hold in order for it to take the photo, thats normal. My camera focuses though and takes the picture no problem.
yeah, you can either click the little shutter button or tap and hold a spot on the screen and it'll focus there and snap the picture.
guess i should have been more clear. its having a problem doing macro focusing. if the subject is a food foot or more away, it focus every time, perfectly.
the problem is when i'm trying to take a photo of something very close to the camera. And the only reason I'm asking about this is because when it "tries" to focus, the image will indeed come into perfect clarity, and then go right back out. and sometimes several times as if the focusing is trying to find the right spot. and ultimately it just gives up and everything is blurry. And I'm left going what the...? because obviously it can focus on it, but why wont it?
My temporarily solution for now is to zoom in that tiny bit allowed and use that to get as close to the subject as i can before the auto focus stops working and get the picture that way. still not really what i want, but it'll work.
Set the camera to AUTOFOCUS, open the keyboard and use the ENTER key as the camera button.
Additional tips.
Turn OFF shutter sound and timestamp to speed up the photo taking process.
Leave ISO and Whitebalance to auto as they seem to work pretty well on the shift.
Quality HIGH
Geotag off (unless you REALLY need this)
NO review speeds up time to next shot.
Center area metering mode seems to work surprisingly well on the shift, especially with flash set to auto.
Also, note, the CLOSER you are to an object you are photographing, the more still you NEED to be. Panaramic/outside shots with a large DOF are awesome. Closeups at 6", you seriously gotta lay off the coffee and brace yourself well. 1mm of hand movement will blur your photos really bad. That's a intake of breath or exhale!
This isn't exactly a professional high speed Nikon with prime lens we're working with. Set your expectations accordingly.

Ok, I take back what I said about it working for me because I have the same exact problem with it looking focused and then going out if focus.

I'm seeing the same problem. It focuses very clearly just before snapping the shot, but then the picture it takes is out of focus. I've tried the tips here and nothing improved on the problem.
Cameras need light to focus. It's going in and out of focus because it doesn't have enough light to tell where the object is in relation to the background. Plus you can only macro so close with a camera lens. Try getting more light in your shots and see if it helps focus. I ran into this yesterday and fixed it by moving the object to a better-lit location.

I know this thread is old, but I think this is a big problem. Even if the subject is well lit, and you use spot metering or tap on an object just a few feet away to focus, the lens will focus and you will see the object become really detailed, then the focus decides to focus on something behind it, rendering the object blurry. This is the case with almost every photo that I take of any object within 3 feet.
Lets say I take a photo of a flower outside in the daylight. Any foliage behind the flower will be focused on, even if you press directly on the middle of the flower.
My theory is that it seems to focus better in lower light situations, where your subject is the only thing lit. If the entire frame of view is well lit, it will make the majority of the image sharp.
Just wondering if someone have camera problem like this.
My front camera (selfie), doesn't work. When i change from my back camera to front, it just stays black but with all camera buttons (take photo, flash on/off...) After that i can only press home button to get me to home screen. When i start camera again , it happen all the same, so if i want to change to back camera i need to press quickly "camera change".
Is this software or hardware problem? I tried to clear cash but problem stays, also tried other cam apps.
