i thought the same mate but there are a couple of ways to test it, first it will only switch to the telefoto lens if the lighting is perfect so point it out of the window and check, second if portrait modes works so does the telefoto lens and lastly choose manual mode then you can switch to the telefoto lens no matter what the conditions. i hope this helps mate

A bit more complicated.
The tele lens works only in good light conditions or if you choose it manually. So maybe it was simply in darker environment. If you want to enforce it, simply switch to manual mode and select the other lens.
On the other hand, with low light conditions tele lens won't make too good pics.

Xiaomi mi a1 optical zoom
Hi, I have the same problem. In camera, when I choose 2x which is optical zoom it zooms but I think it is digitally because if I hide the second camera it doesn't happen something. It is the same so the second camera doesn't work as optical zoom. But, if I switch manual mode and I chose the tele lens it swithes to the second camera so when I hide the main camera it works and if I hide the second camera it doesn't work. That means that you can choose the second camera which is 2x optical zoom by manula mode. I am disappointed because it doesn't do optical zoom whith the simple camera mode. You have to choose to manual and the second camera doesn't show so nice colours as the main. So please fix it if it's possible.:good:

Front came is very fuzzy also 90degrees rotated!!!

Yes, i want to know if anyone else have that problem? Well i live in Turkey so i couldn`t try it on 3G network, but when i use coolcamera app. i see that the picture is very very fuzzy (i couldnt even understand where it shows on the screen) and it is rotated 90degreed as default. Is that because of the under quality front camera that htc uses on hermes or is it that my front camera is broken?
It is (both the quality and the rotation).
The pictures shouldn't be completely fuzzy. It should be relatively sharp depending on the lighting. The issue is probably the focus mode the lense is in.
On the back of the phone, next to the camera lense, is a little slider with a dot and a picture of a flower. You might have it in Macro mode. Adjust the slider so that it is next to the Dot instead of the Flower. Macro mode is for taking pictures of up close objects.
--EDIT:
I just re-read your post and noticed you are talking about the front camera, not the back camera. Sorry!

Frontal Camera

A little cuestion.
The camera frontal,is only for videocall?It's possible for photo?
Thanks
You can make photos with front camera, but you need software, which can do it.
Try this one:

select: settings -> sensor -> front
I donĀ“t know why, but my front camera is rotated by 90 degree
mines is showing black screen
hi, i am using vodafone v1605, I installed cool camera, when I click on the front sensor option , it gives me black screen.
But it works well for my friend who has I mate jasjam.
Please anybody help me with this issue. Is my camera has some broken circuit or what ?
have you tried to make a video call? if that doesnt work, your camera is probably broken...
CoolCamera'll enable you to use your front camera

Camera lens position!

I noticed my back camera lens is slightly lower than center and sometimes it moves to center.... I understand OIS must be the reason but it's unacceptable when camera is off. OIS and consequently camera slight movements must be active when you use camera!
Has anybody else noticed this?
So...do you have a real problem with the camera when taking pics ... or not?

My G6 Camera in Zoom Mode/Normal Is Extremely Blur

Hello.
My G6 camera (right hand side) is extremely blur when I want to take a photo.
It seems like the right hand side lens is dirty or damaged so the picture quality is very very poor. You can't even recognize the face of the person you shot.
But if I change to wide view angle it is fine as normal.
But is matter here.

Poor focus in live focus mode - Can someone please see if you can replicate?

S10+ UK variant with the latest updates installed. I have an issue with the camera. If I open the camera and choose Live Focus, the default lens is the one with the single leaf on it, which is the lens that makes everything the biggest/closest etc. If I hold my hand or anything else out in front of me, the camera will not focus on my hand/object at all. If I wave it about, it will sometimes come into focus momentarily, but will not focus as you would expect, the image is also quite poor. If I then change lenses to the other available one, which is the one with two leaves on, that focuses perfectly and very quickly and is nice and sharp in the areas that I choose.
Samsung said to factory reset and I did and it did not fix it. They also said that Tracking AF setting should be enabled, but it is greyed out and there is no way to change it. I found a video on youtube on how to enable it, by reducing the resolution of video recording for the rear camera, but as I'd just factory reset, it was already on a low setting.
Also, all 3 lenses will focus as they should in auto and pro modes, just not live focus.
Could anyone please try this for me?
Open camera->Select Live Focus->Select the lens with the single leaf icon->Hold hand or other object about 12 inches/30cm away. Does it focus properly?
Also, with the camera still open->settings->Tracking AF <--is this greyed out?
Thanks, any help, much appreciated.
Same with me. Never noticed before as usually nor use live focus mode.

For me the 2x zoom camera(single leaf) has problems of focusing when I shoot a video. Try that also and see if you guys have the same problem

Thanks. Yes, mine is the same. I had mine set to 1920 @60fps and there's no option to change lenses, but after setting it to just FHD 1920x1080, the 3 lenses are available. The focus here, although not working as expected is better than it is using live focus.

I am using 4k 30fps, and for me sometimes the focus for the telephoto(x2) struggles to get perfect. Maybe is a software thing that will be corrected. Also checked it and the tracking AF is also greyed out for me.
