Smartphone Camera "Focus Hunting" (Blurry Photos)

4.5

The camera keeps trying to focus but never locks on, resulting in blurry images.

Symptoms
  • Blurry photos
  • Focus motor noise
  • Constant refocusing
Possible Causes
  • Dirty lens
  • Laser AF blocked
  • OIS hardware failure

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Clean the Lens

Wipe the camera glass with a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints.

2

Remove Case

Some cases block the Laser Auto Focus sensor (the small black dot near the lens).

3

Tap to Focus

Manually tap the subject on the screen to force the camera to lock focus.

When to See a Technician

If you hear a buzzing sound from the camera, the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is likely broken.
