Samsung galaxy note 20 Ultra Camera issues

[Cvjetko]

Does anybody else notices that the foto's taken lately are not sharp anymore on their note? I think it came with the latest software updates definitely foto's have gotten worse just not sharp anymore when zooming and focus issues

I also have one brand new unboxed snapdragon version with similar results so it must be software !

Translated by GT: Did you solve the problem with the camera on the note 20 ultra? I have that problem too?

I've noticed it too. I thought I just had smudges on the back of the glass or something, but it has happened way to often now. It happens even after I thoroughly clean the glass or if too much sunlight hits the lense.

However, I've noticed that if I switch to a different camera mode, like going from portrait to photo and then back to portrait, the lense seems to finally focus and usually I'll lock onto the subject and the photo is sharp again.

I usually notice the lack of focus when I'm in portrait mode starting off, right after opening the camera app. It does happen from time to time opening the app, starting in photo mode too, but not nearly as often as starting in portrait mode. This is on a Verizon Note 20 Ultra Snapdragon variant.

I read a few forums and came across one comment where a man says he had the same problem and was told at the service station that his camera module had broken down. He made a camera module in service and now there is no more problem with that ... my licbo opinion is that everything is related to a software error...

Only way I can solve it is shut off the auto stability. On everything. Antishake. I've been messing with it complaining for months

How does one make a camera module?

Has there been any movement on this?

I have a Note 20 Ultra, and I've noticed that my main camera does not focus anymore. I cannot get a sharp picture of text or my kids, or anything that's less than about 20 feet away. If I move back far enough and then zoom in, the telephoto lens can focus better.

Another test - the barcode scanner in Walmart/Target apps cannot focus on a barcode either.

I suspect this is hardware failure of the main camera. It can't focus anymore.

Does anyone have any experience fixing this?

I bought the phone "eBay Refurbished" and it came with a 1yr Allstate (SquareTrade) warranty... but that has been a mess so far, too.

There's a new option, can't remember where, that supposedly processes your images. Think AI moon debacle. Turn it off and take it raw.

I think it's activated by default after the update.

FWIW... I can't get it to focus even BEFORE I take a photo. So, it's not post-processing or anything that's messing up.

Additionally... the Walmart, Target, Amazon (etc) apps that have barcode scanners can't focus on a barcode to scan them most of the time, either.

Before I make a claim on my phone insurance and end up with a non-OEM camera replacement... I want to eliminate any possibilities that it's something software-related.

Thanks

That is odd, if it can't focus and it's not post processing it's a hardware issue. I have no problems with them right now. If you shake the phone near your ear do you hear the OIS rattle ?

Seems a warranty claim right there, it sure as hell is not software if it can't focus beforehand.

Bro from 5X it switches to that periscope lens of the camera, OFC the quality will improve
