Hooray! After a year of struggling with the focus on closeups, its fixed! I take photos of products i sell online for a living and this made made my process so much faster. Thank you so much.

@ToniasDeelooshion 3 жыл бұрын

Soooooooo much better for my Samsung S20+! That was driving me crazy!!! I could only get a good focus in the single take which is not what I wanted! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

@letsplay8389 2 жыл бұрын

My Galaxy S20 Ultra used to take great pictures all the time. After some or another update the portrait photos were all out of focus. I've been zooming way out to get photos that were at least in focus for the past 10 months or so. Following these three steps fixed my camera completely! Thanks GregglesTV!

Before this video, every single thing i tried to focus on from more than 20 ft away was so blurry you could only see the colors and no shape. I just took a bunch of lovely, up close pictures of text, and you can read every word! thank you so much!

@DianChapman 2 жыл бұрын

THANK YOU so much! I had previously messed with the Pro settings and used Reset to get rid of my mess. But then I also lost the max zoom feature I used to have, and the focus was also useless. I tried this fix and not only is the focus great again...but I got back the max zoom feature. So thanks so much! GREAT info!

Oh yea, the old school fix. This 3 step process helps every time, any all has an issues. Always a solid fix equivalent to a factory data reset but per an individual app.

Worked great! Tremendous help. I did not have the same response to tap and hold on the camera icon to get to settings. I had to do Settings>Apps>Camera>Storage to get to the Clear Cache option. I did not have an issue with getting to the wiping the cache screen with the instructions provided here. Hope this helps someone else as well! Thank you.

@MimiDidi121 2 жыл бұрын

When I hold the camera icon there's no "info" just camera or video then below that select or remove. That happens a lot when I look up how do do something. It'll say go to settings, open such and such, then hit "info", for example, there'll be no info to hit! And I can't even get a screen grab for this issue, of course, but I'm thankful for folks like you that makes video teaching us idiots how to do things! I'm a 50something widow. There are things around the house that I don't know how to do! I've installed a new garbage disposal, digital thermostat and a keyboard on my lap top with the assistance of KZfaq, to name a few! I hope you're as blessed as you bless us with your knowledge! 🙂

The solution seems to work for me too. I tried to reset the app and its cache and it doesn't solve the problem. I don't think to wipe the cache into the Recovery mode. Just after this tip, I try to take some pictures at 2x zoom and my photos are now very clear and sharp. Beside I noticed that it's much clear in the gallery than in the live preview. Also, I tried in interior with artificial light. I can't wait to try outside during a sunny afternoon... Not very easy in the north of France in November 😄 Thank you for this precious tip.

Hi . Thanks for the info. My camera is still not focusing correctly and I think it might be the fact i dropped the camera from about 3 feet but on a wood floor. Do you think I have to replace the camera ? It seems to adjust correctly when focusing from close but have problems when the images are further away.

This seemed to help my front camera focus, although it didn't really make it it as clear as my S9. With that, I can see every pore on my nose/individual eyelashes etc. On the s20 fe, it just looked washed out and unclear/not sharp. I don't even have beauty filters turned on after update. BTW, I had to plug it into my laptop to charge before this trick would work. Otherwise it would boot up normally.
