Just loaded 2.2.2 onto my Singapore region Defy. The OS upgrades are fantastic! My default camera now has a repositionable focus box!
Only problem is that it does not focus at all! Moving the box around does absolutely nothing! Additionally, if I use the flash, it just takes a all black photo!?
i got an htc one m7 last year and suddenly my camera's focus stopped working properly. i tried putting my finger in-front of it but it only focuses on everything around it instead of my finger itself. i also tried clearing the cache and data but still nothing.
Question about photos taken with bright objects. Whenever I take a photo which has bright lights it ruins the whole photo. I tap in different areas to try refocus but makes no difference. Even at times part of the picture goes really dark.
I was excited about the phone when i first got, it does take terrific pictures.. but after I unlocked my bootloader, it does not focus anymore!! this is very frustrating. The only reason I chose Sony is because of the great camera that it has.. and now it's completely useless..
My camera doesn't focus, its fixed on a close up shot. It wont focus at all when I touch the screen, and I have read all the info on this Xperia Care Support Forum website and done everything people were saying but nothing has worked !
I have the issue of focusing in Z3 D6653.When I brought any object to camera lens, it's just to focusing. I tried to focus it but just didn't happen anything. I tried to focus manually but nothing happens...
Just got my phone replaced because the screen was sometimes unresponsive when layed flat on a surface. Now I got a problem with the rear facing camera. When I open the camera app the auto focus doesn't always work. As result I get very blurry photo's...
Made a short video to show you guys the problem:
This could be a hardware or software problem. I performed a hard reset and reboot but the problem still occurs from time to time.
I didnt drop my phone and I removed the plastic of the camera lens and led flash, so that cant be the problem.
Camera unit have trouble focusing right in startup? Mine sometimes takes a couple seconds to focus from a very fuzzy picture and then is like lightning....
Suddenly my camera lost auto focusing. Marco icon will appear no matter where you try to focus, and it hangs (looks like waiting AF to complete) if you actually take a picture. Then CPU goes to 100% as you can feel the back is burning up.
Just come back to my 1520 yesterday and updated it to Cyan 8.1 which means the current version of Nokia Camera, however, Ive noticed that the focus ring, which normally flashes as its focusing when you depress the camera button half way, sometimes just appears on-screen and no longer looks as if its focusing, but as if its already focussed and ready to take the shot. I have to close Nokia camera and re-open it again so it focusses, but any shots after the `st one.. the focus ring is just solid.
The Windows Camera still focuses as does ProShot.. however, I want to use Living Images in storyteller.Does this have anything to do with this "Burst Shot" thats supposed to be in the camera.
For some reason when I enter snapchat the camera starts hissing and sometimes it refuses to focus. This happens in the camera app to but less often. Also, it only happens with the rear camera.
I just purchased a Lumia Icon recently and on going through and testing out various functions, I noticed that the video recording has an odd noise whenever the camera autofocuses.
The device is up to date on everything, Windows 8.1 and Lumia Denim with the latest camera app.
Here is a sample of it (close range, but it does the same noise when focusing on anything )
Right near the end I switched it to manual focus (the "jump" in focus you see and possibly the sound when that happens), but then switched it back to auto which is the noise starting again.
This happens in both surround sound mode and not.
I'm just wondering if this is normal or not. All the sample videos I have looked for either have someone talking or music playing over the video audio itself, or else what is being recorded is noisy enough to possibly hide the autofocus noise if it exists.
I have had my phone for over a year, specifically chosen for the camera. The camera has recently stopped focusing on closeup shots, like taking a picture of a check for mobile deposits. It does this on manual and auto focus. It used to take perfect pictures. I have even done a factory reset on the phone to no avail.
I've noticed when recording a video and I focus on something close the focusing noise comes through when playing the video back. When I move away from the object I can hear the camera ree focus but the buzzing is not loud. The refocusing noise is only loud when I focus on something close.
My Motorola Defy display's the camera upside down on screen... I have tried everything to try and fix this including going to the cellphone store I got it from and they did a hardware reset on it to no avail
When i put the flash on off mode the flash light turns on when the camera is focusing and it is annoying if you try to photo a person , as the light hurts the eye , is there a way of turning it off completly.
I just installed the update on my phone and now the camera is not working correctly. It will takes a photo but the photo will not show up on the screen - it's just black. The camcorder function works fine.
After last upgrade to 2.2.2 I see the following problem: when flash is triggered while taking a photo the result is a completely black picture; when no flash is used photo is fine. I have rebooted the phone but it does not help.
(very low) noise similar to a rotating motor. It seems its the camera motor noice. My question is that is it normal to hear such sound or something is worng with my camera hardware. This sound is coming siince I have purchased the mobile, but never took it serously though I am afraid now if its a hardware problem.Also is there any way to improve the image quality, I can see that the by default Android camera app store all the images with 90% quality, can we make it 100%.
My camera and camcorder don't work, I take a photo with the camera and it does all the right things but does not save the image, the camcorder pushes you out of the camcorder screen when you push the record button and back to the home screen, I have tried to clear the Cache data under phone settings. If I turn the phone off and on again it works fine for a little bit but I shouldn't have to do this everytime I want to take a photo or movie.
I've recently bought a Defy+. Now that can hear a flickering noise when I turn on the camera. I tried tweaking the settings and everything but the problem is still there.
I recently upgraded my defy (with optus) to android 2.2 and haven't had many issues.
One thing that bugs me is when i take images with my camera now, they don't appear in the gallery. The small diplay on the bottom left displays the image but as soon as i click on it to view the image it appears to delete it.
I got a notification to update my phone, so I downloaded the update and installed it, all good so far, but now that I have tried to use my camera the flash isnt working in sync with the shutter. The flash goes off too soon and the pictures turn out too dark, now I have checked what settings I could think of including the auto flash and etc, but it refuses to flash at the right time! I have noticed other differences with the update but I can get used to those.. not a big drama, but I really liked my camera the way it used to be... but in saying that I would prefer not to master reset as the other changes are ok.
My defy (Im in Australia) has just suddenly stopped taking photos. It goes through the motions and the flash still works and everything but when you goto the photo in the gallery its just a plain black image, there is no photo!
My phone has multiple resets ad the direction of Motorola, and has been in for a circuit board replacement.Now the screen still freezes and the reception is hopeless.I am sure this handset is a lemon.It is still under warranty, 11 months old.
setting up auto-fetching applies to all email accounts. I swear on my 2.1 Spice XT300, the auto-retrieval was by email address (and also the smallest interval between fetches was 5 minutes, not 15 like on the Defy). I have never used 2.1 on the Defy; mine was original 2.2.1.
