Put a drop of water on your lens and scrape with a corner of a credit card

there is a film on the lens that gets scratched, it needs to be removed, I used automotive scratch remover followed by a coating of wax, I'm not sure how water and the corner of a credit card helps..........

My pictures were blurry, I searched Google and that's what I found, I did what it said and it worked.

So....that's how it helped me

I see this starting on my M8. I don't think it's affected the pictures yet, but will be monitoring it. Just picked up the Harmon/Kardon today and really hoping this doesn't happen.

It works!!! I used screen cleaner with a credit card. I was so afraid that I'd scratched my camera that it took a month for me to do this. Kicking myself for not doing this sooner

It's gonna happen for sure! Rubbing alcohol and qtips is what I've used to remedy the problem.

I didn't have much luck with water + credit card, but a little water and toothpaste did the trick. Is this a one-time fix, or are you afflicted people having to do it again after more time passes?

I was so glad I read about this before my recent vacation, my wife was taking pictures and they were all blurry and my phone was the same. I did the credit card and spit and it fixed the problem.

I started noticing my pictures from my phone were getting quite blurry, so I followed the instructions. The only thing I did not know was the "film" I was taking off was actually black. Once I figured that out....I got everything cleared up.
Thanks for the info!
