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.
I have googled this issue many times but i seem to be the only person having this problem.
I have an LG E900 and i think its a great phone. Has great apps etc etc and i like to wp7 os.
However, i regularly need to take close up images of small parts for work and it seems i can never get the photo right or the camera seems to have a mind of its own.
I had an iphone 3gs before this - i checked the specs and the LG camera is technically superior - but i never had any issues like this.
Whenever i go to take a photo the camera focuses in on the part, so it looks perfect on screen and then does one of the following.
1 - Flashes and i get a nice white screen
2 - Takes the picture with no flash and i get a black screen
3 - Goes to take the photo and then doesn't.??
4 - Perfectly focused image on screen and then sits there, i go to re-take and it takes the picture quick, giving me a blur.
Sometimes it may take me up to 25 tries before i get a usable image.
Really starting to piss me off, such a pity as when it gets it right, its perfect.
Then some joker walks up behind me with a nokia 5110 and takes a pic, no problem..Grrr - what am i doing wrong??
It doesnt save your settings either - another gripe for another thread
I don't have any issue taking close up pictures, if it's too dark it will use the flash, if it's light enough, it won't.
Works fine for me
The LG camera IS poor!!!
Here are a few hints to get a better image. Due to WP7 not keeping your camera settings, you need to set them every time you start the Camera app.
1- Use the the Intelligent Shot options (Smart Scene does a fairly good job) to adjust to your environment,
2- Do not use Beauty Shot unless you are taking photos of people, it doesn't make the photos pretty.
3- There is an Anti Shake option at the end of the camera settings menu...It is basically a software image stabilizer, and works very well.
4- Don't let the phone decide whether to use the flash or not, and set it yourself for sensitive photographs. Brightness settings also help when played around with ( you have to figure out which settings work best in what conditions on your own)
5- Always, ALWAYS semi-press the camera button to let the phone focus and get the white balance...otherwise your photos will look like crap...then take a picture...you need to do this every time.
I sometimes have to "scan" documents and writings on the spot, so with these things kept in mind, you can take fairly decent photographs.
Also, I have done a bit of modification to make the flash better...In my opinion, it is too white. I took a very transparent yellow plastic, and cut it to exact size...it fits in well on the top of the flash (since it is slightly in the phone, rather than flat), and my photos now seem a lot warmer...
I do wish the camera was a bit sharper and had better lowlight performance of course...
PS: And obviously nothing compares to Nokia phones' cameras...well, except the iPhone in some cases...
My camera sometimes refuses to focus correctly. When I want to take a picture (e.g. outside in the sun) I tap te screen to focus at something(like a few meters away from me). I see a green circle so it thinks it is in focus but in fact it is still really blurry. The lens is not moving far enough to get a sharp picture. I made the following video to describe the issue:
This effect is already there after a factory reset, firmware G900FXXU1ANE2 and G900FXXU1ANE4 show this problem(I only use stock firmware). I already swapped my S5 for a new one at the store but the problem is still there.
The only solution I have is to focus to something really close and then focus to the thing I want to make a picture of. This temporarily solves the problem (could happen that it works fine for the rest of the day). It is quite annoying when I want to quickly make a picture and get something like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/831846/s5/20140718_154250.jpg. I tapped at different things visible in the picture but it simply refused to focus normally. When I apply the trick of focusing really close first I get a sharp result: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/831846/s5/20140718_154350.jpg
Does anyone have issues with the focusing? The S5 really disappoints me here. I constantly need to verify whether it has focused correctly.

No doubt this is frustrating to you. But it's regrettable that you didn't elaborate at more length about the nuances of how you use the camera, what circumstances this happens in and attach sample photos.
We are left uncertain if it is a problem with the phone or your usage. Given that you reflashed a stock firmware and exchanged the handset, it seems quite unlikely to be a defective phone. So it seems that you either unhappy with the camera's performance or something in your technique is impairing the focus e.g. having a thumb obstructing the sensor when holding the camera, not holding it steady, et cetera.
I don't have any issue with the focus on my S5, nor heard many complain about it either. Check that you aren't obstructing the camera sensor, perhaps try some test shots from a tripod. Explore the camera settings menu. Try a third camera camera app, which may resolve the issue outright for you. Demo other phones to see if you prefer their camera results.
.
Thanks for your response, I mainly tested the camera to capture non-moving things (like the flowers outside) but usually I take pictures in all kinds of circumstances. I understand that it is hard for a camera to handle low light situations or situations where there is lots of movement. I also experienced this issue last night (indoor with lights on) but I can understand that's hard for a smartphone camera. I already have issues outside, with plenty of sunlight, capturing things that don't move/change.
I have owned a Galaxy S3 for 2 years and of course that camera sometimes did not focus correctly. The difference is that with the S3 i could simply tap the screen again and it will focus alright. With the S5 I first need to focus to something close, and then back again to the thing I wanted to make a picture of. So I kind of need to reset the focusing mechanism. That's what is annoying. I used my dad's iPhone 5 and could take the same pictures without any problem.
As far as I know I'm not using the camera any different than with my S3. In the video it might seem a bit shaky but that's due to the uncomfortable position of holding the phone in front of the camera. The issue is still there when I use something like a table to stabilize. Does the camera flash/heartbeat sensor play any role in focusing (outside with plenty of light)? I can't remember if I obstructed those. I'm sure I didn't block the camera with my finger .
I've briefly tested the Google camera app to confirm the issue is there as well. I could test with that some more but as far as I know the camera focus code is done in some hardware-specific library and the camera app simply asks the library to focus. The stock should just work on the default settings. Selective focus is off, face detection does not matter (but I only tested this without people in the picture). For focusing the options are pretty limited.
It indeed seems like I'm the only one. Maybe people don't care enough (the blurry pictures can still be fine for facebook posts). Couldn't it be a defective batch coming from Samsung? I find this hard to believe too. To me it seems like a software problem. The camera is trying to focus as fast as possible, it barely moves the lens if it is in a state where it thinks it is already focused. That's probably why focusing really close helps; it needs to do a 'full' re-focus.
Edit: Just tested the google camera again, wasn't blocking the sensors on the back in any way:
1. Opened app while pointing at the flowers
2. Tapped the flowers, saw focus ring, tapped again at another place but no difference, still blurry
3. Took picture: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/831846/s5/IMG_20140722_132806.jpg
4. Focussed to something close
5. Pointed camera at flowers again
6. Touched to focus (looks sharp now)
7. Took picture: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/831846/s5/IMG_20140722_133109.jpg
It's so simple to get such a blurry picture. In something like half an hour later I tried to take another picture but I already had to apply the fix again...
Also having problems with focusing on S5
Hi there,
I was reading this forum and have the EXACT same problem with my S5! The camera won't focus at all! it was like that when i got the phone, then i took it in for repairs and it came back much much better. but then literally overnight it just decided to stop focusing again. it won't focus on distance shots. i've tried playing around with all my settings again, but nothing is solving the problem. i tap the screen to get it to focus with the green square, it says it's in focus but all of the pictures are blurry!
Did you manage to come right with getting your camera to work properly @hberntsen?

I dont know if you are rooted but if you are i would deffinitely install the following MOD as it fixes alot of the samsungs Camera Shortcummings
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-hx-camera-mod1-0quality-t2816831
My problems vanished, it could be due to an update from Samsung to ANG8. When I had the problem I tried various camera apps(also the HX mod) and all of them had the focusing problem. The HX mod does not help since the focusing code is not modified.
Camera focus fix
Hi guys!
I've been having this problem of the camera not focusing either. I did some looking around on the internet and found a quick and easy fix!
It seemed that my camera app/cache had become corrupted, as was common with the S5.
Go to Settings>Application Manager>All>Camera and then clear the cache. It was only about 35kbs.
I restarted the phone after this and the camera now focuses brilliantly again! No issues at all with far away or really close.
Give that a go and see if it works for you!
I'm having exactly the same issue im confident its a camera hardware issue. Im sending the unit back to Samsung to replace or repair overall im disappointed and find the camera very poor.
I took a video for you guys because you seem to all be having the same issue.
http://youtu.be/VZdJD0z2duA
Mine focuses perfectly without me even touching the screen. When I do touch the screen it always reports a clear focus. Otherwise I can just move around and the camera automatically detects the distance even through a window, and instantly adjusts the focus to compensate.
If your phone does not behave the same way, then it's a defect, you aren't holding it correctly (blocking or obstructing the sensor) or you are experiencing some sort of other issue.
Some cases can ever so slightly interfere with the sensor too. The sensor is so much wider than you think when you look at it directly. So if you have even anything slightly in the field (even the field that is not displayed on the screen) it may give you bad results with focusing. (However I see the OP has no case in his video).
Overall I am 100% satisfied with this camera.
What I have found in testing is if I tap the front of the phone with my finger the focus kicks in a works, temporarily however it resorts back to the non focus issue after a brief period. Any shots taken at close range are fine its basically any shot the it using the zoom function or any shots of anything at a distance such as a scenery shot.

The camera focuses and shows the green circle each time, but when you look a the shot you can see the blur this is with shots taken in daylight.

That is not the fix I've tried that several times without any luck
Non focus - FIX
Update:
My S5 has been repaired by Samsung to resolve the non focus issue the problem related to a faulty camera module and was replaced with an updated camera module the focus now works perfectly. If you have this issue you'll need to get the camera module replaced it would seem a lot of S5 users are having this problem.
Im having this issue and its really annoying. Im thinking of sending it to repair, but im afraid that : a) might still come out the same b)Lose waterproofing since they have to actually remove the screen/front to fix it c)they don't do anything because it focus sometimes and it might focus when they do the tests
So, what would be a good indication that focus problems is really a faulty sensor? Compared to my s3, the s5 struggles to focus and its really noticible when i try to take a picture of text and close up.
Blurry
I got a similar Problem, but I am not absolutely sure if it´s focus-related or something else with the camera.
Almost every picture I take is blurry, and my focusing lens is also very loud when I shake the phone.
I compared my S5 to 2 others today and mine was really having the worst image quality, no matter what I did. Changed all settings on my phone to match the other one which has good IQ, but it really doesn´t change anything.
Someone said to change ISO to 100 instead of Auto, this improves a little bit, but still the other pix are way clearer.
Will wait for Lollipop Update and see how it improves, but I guess its a hardware issue.
I have read about that camera noise and Samsung has said it's normal and part of the camera module and system. Strangely, I never heard it on mine.
Have you tried photos outside in sunlight? Camera seems to show its worth only in those conditions. Regardless, if full auto in different s5 is better than on yours that much, then you might have a bad sensor and should get it replaced.
In good light conditions the pix look quite good, but as you take photos indoors the´re just blurry and smeary. No sharpness. Compared it to an iP5s first and then to the other S5s, even checked my old S2, which also made better pictures.
Now I wonder if I really wait for Lollipop and hope it´s a software issue or directly use the warranty.
Thinking about rooting and using custom ROMs, I didn´t really find out if this is possible with LP as well (given it´s possible to downgrade to a towelroot compatible version, say 4.4.2 as atm). Is there a chance?
What would you suggest? Wait for the upgrade and if it doesn´t help, send it to the support? Or do this right now and hope they will also see the difference to a good camera and replace or repair it? Have to wait like 2 weeks they said.
Thanks!
Honestly, we are all going to start accepting that the camera is not that great in anything other than outside with direct sunlight (or probably with studio film lights but not everybody has those laying around).
Auto-focus is not great and its very frustrating actually, even if you have decent light inside, it miss it a lot of time and you have to keep moving and pressing the screen - but put it outside or next to a window in daylight and the autofocus works well enough. Oddly, my s3 still has better/more accurate autofocus in lower light scenarios than the s5, even if the final image isn't that great (its actually inferior, but autofocus works much better). The s5 focus for a split second and then loss focus.
Also, most photos i take on the s5 just turn out having way to much noise.
I don't think software is going to do much at this point. It helped in the first batches, but now im starting to think is more the sensor fault than anything else. I don't think lollipop will help unless we get the manual controls, which samsung s5 doesn't have on lollipop rom. Also, i remember reading that lollipop didn't improve the camera quality on the s5. Software will help quite a bit, but it won't be everything.
With warranty, if they test it and are able to get it focus a few times they probably won't fix it or replace the sensor, unless it's something really bad - but that's my opinion and why i haven't used the warranty on mine, because they might test it in better light and get the focus to work and won't even bother.
Also, im afraid it will lose the waterproofing from factory. I recently saw videos of repairs on the s5 and the whole fron't screen needs to be removed in order to access the camera or any hardware and im afraid that might in any way compromise waterproofing - i don't plan on take it on the water but who knows.
So, personally, im just trying to accept that the camera isn't that great as i thought and not stress more about it. If your camera does take inferior photos compared to others and you have similar problems with focus like OP, then i suggest you take it to the warranty. If its just focusing problems in low light or inferior image quality in low light with pictures coming out the same as other s5's (not compared to other phones, different sensors), then it probably won't do much taking it to the repair center, unless it gives you peace of mind or getting another opinion from the repair center.
Where the photos were taken was irrelevant, inside or out the camera module was faulty on my one a problem many S5 users have had it's NOT software well not in my case anyway this solution is get the module replaced the S5 camera is average at best and if compared against the likes of the Note 4 it's very poor.
True. I asked if he tried outside because in my case the camera focus better outside with a lot light , even if inside is well lit enough to take a picture. Most of my problems are with focus inside, even is decent light, it just doesnt want to pick proper focus and it shouldnt be like that, my old s3 and other older or lower-end phones are not like that.
Unfortunately the camera was so hyped for nothing, yes it takes good pictures if are outside during the day but its a pain to focus or get a picture that isnt full of noise, the s4 took good pictures and it wasnt a mess to focus. I havent sent mine for replacement because i just know they are going to test it in a well lit enviroment and it will probably pick up the focus and send it back.
Samsung repaired and replaced my camera module without any question once I'd demonstrated the issue I even sent them the link to this thread. I found the camera focus was even worse when using video.
Agree the S5 as both a camera and a smart phone is average at best hence why I use the s5 rarely now with the Note 4 as my main phone.
Hi. I recently acquired some cardboard like glasses (blitzwolf) and wanted to give them a try. I really liked the experience, considering they're much cheaper than Oculus, and there's a nice offer of videos and apps already.
But after a few minutes I realized about a problem. You can move the video to the left or right just rotating your head. Mine moves slightly to the right or the left, depending on my phone's position (horizontal with the speakers on the left and home button on the right, or vice versa.) I guess the solution is to configure my phone's sensors, but I don't know how.
I recorded a of it, to make things clearer. I'm not moving my phone, so the entrance to the cave should always be up front, but you can see it rotates to the right.
I know this is my phone's problem, and not the device, but I consider this section to be the most appropriate to post it.

I'm also having this problem in all VR apps, you can try GPS Status & Toolbox from PlayStore to calibrate your sensors, it works for many people.
For me it seems, nothing works. All my sensors are working properly, i tested them and have no erratic readings whatsoever, compass works well too, but in Cardboard... major sensor drift. The only thing i can do for now is watching 3D movies in VR Theater with the screen locked in center.
That's a classic VR problem for mobile devices. You could try an xposed module named, 'Gyroscope Noise Filter'. On my device there wasn't much drift, so couldn't notice any large differences, but you can give it a shot.
When it occurs, I try to stabilize my phone on a table for 10 secs and it stops, also it happened when I mess with dpi... My sensors should be good though, it have better range that a friend's phone. I guees it's a more serious issue for you.
Hey, Folks!
I had the same problem with every vr app on my G2 and I solved it!
The problem is the damn button "bulge" (0,2mm) on the backside. The phone never ever laid flat so theres was no way to calibrate the gyro correctly.
So I placed it on a 0,5 mm creditcard so the button doesn't touch the ground and calibrated the damn thing. BINGO! No movment.
I think this is adaptable to every phone. Think of the "flatness" of your phones backside. If theres a button or camera bulging out, the picture will move (probably) to the right.
Please excuse my bad english.
On an s5, dial *#0*#, then tap sensors, then gyroscope self test. Cured it for me.

ve solved the problem. You're using an VR application like a video, for example, what you're running and hitting the phone in the other hand or something soft on all corners. As you rotate it constantly.

This also worked for my Samsung S7 stock. Looks like the "test" is actually a calibration/reset, not just a test.
I noticed some noise, not software relating, whenever I leave it on table, bed or something else, ( I do not throw it) I noticed a slightly noise coming from camera and sensor area. I thought that the side volume button, which is a bit loose, does the noise, but I pressed both of them an the noise is there.
If I tap slightly on camera/sensor corner I can hear some kind of like something is loose inside of it.
Has anyone noticed? Or has the same problem?
Thank you.

Probably the phone vibration motor. I noticed it too, mainly when I put my phone down on hard surface. It was more or less present on my previous phones too, so I guess it's normal.
Thanks for reply. I thought that in might comes from the lens.
You are right, noise comes from around the lenses. I've just checked the tear down photos and vibration motor is located near the usb port on the opposite side. So...I don't know what could be the reason
The sound is due to the Camera Lens Barrel required to operate the Auto Focus function. So basically, there are moving parts in the lenses, which are adjusting focus depending on how far the object is from your phone so the pictures are sharp.
Camera module is fitted with a “Stopper” to limit the Lens Unit movement within the space for the Camera module. When the Lens and Stopper touch, when shaking the phone, a slight noise may occur.
That means it's perfectly normal

I was not wrong thinking about Camera Lens.
Thanks for making clear and detailed explication.
