I seen some youtube videos and well as some articles of people taking pics with the stock camera app on the Atrix. Some people stated that you hold the camera button (on the screen) till the white focus button turns green, then you release it. Others have said that you just tap the camera button and that's it, it snaps the picture.
So which one of the ways, is the correct way to take a good pic?
Both work, but holding it allows you to see if the camera was able to focus well, and gives you better timing.

is it possible you accidentally changed some camera settings or camera mode?
Try going to the camera settings menu (bottom left corner of the camera app), scroll that menu all the way out, and pick "reset". This will reset your camera to factory settings. See if the problem still persists.
Or it could be too dark, and auto mode cannot focus. you need to engage night mode. but first try setting reset above.

My guess would be you've switched the macro function on at some point (either deliberately or accidentally) and then forgotten to switch back to auto-focus (I had the same problem with mine until I realised what it was!).
Go to Settings down in the bottom left of the camera screen, then select 'Focus Mode' and change back to 'Auto focus'.
I didnt turn anything on or off, i flashes the firmware to ke7. but it stopped working before i flashed. also i have reset the cam settings tons of times, nothing seems to work. it goes out of focus right after it starts focusing, and then the red bare thing comes up
It is obviously software issues, because its gets perfectly focussed before it goes blurry again
Hmm is it the macro mode issue that I read about?
Never heard anything like what you are describing, sorry.
Please do update this thread if you figure out the issue.
re-flash or update the camera's firmware
+1 to this problem. It's frustating.
I got the same problem. I just give the phone a tap on the back and it starts working again. Its so weird... i'm thinking my camera autofocus is dodgy/stuck
Try Settings >Applications >Manage Aplications > All > Camera > clear DATA
Or are you sure there is no dust on the Lens????? Trying wiping it clean
If both the above Dont work ... I dont you and you dont know me
bump..
have the same issue...
no focus at all in video mode.
i reset the camera setting a few times, delete all data from the camera app, still no luck.
my cam FW is :
cam fw ver : scef02
phone fw ver : tbec28
please advise as this is getting really frustrating...
many thanks.
Samsung I9100 camera focus problem
Hi,
I have the same issue as described above. Perhaps it occured just as I updated to Android version 2.3.3, not sure but could be.
Anyone found a solution to this problem?
auto focus doesn't work correctly out of the box
Hello,
Just got a brand new GSII from Sprint; awesome!! AutoFocus though is CRAZY and possessed!! it will be in focus then go out of focus... non-stop... did this from day one; Running 2.3.4 does not seem to do this with the still camera.
I'm having the same problem. I tried switching roms, going back to stock, nothing helped. Anyone having a solution? It is a software issue, because 3 days ago mine was working for like 5 min..
bump.bump.bump
!
I had the same problem but disappeared cleaning the lens from the fingerprints and grease
I finally rooted and the flashed Galnet Miui, but then the quality of photos dropped. So I flashed another ROM, same results. So now i restored backup of my original ROM and it got better, but still nowhere near the quality of pre-root.
So I messed up camera for nothing =/
I have the same problem, with one small difference, i dropped the phone in the toilet. Got it dry, changed the camera and now I have this focus problem. In camera mod, if I touch the screen the camera will focus, but it doesn't focus from the moment I start the Camera app. So since the camera don't auto-focus by itself when I go into video mod the image is all blurry.

Are you getting a clear picture on screen, does it look blurry or obscured. If the think you what to photograph is a dark object that can cause probs with auto focus as well. You might have dust under the lens cover that can also cause lock on problems.

2) After taking shot by the camera
when I am trying to capture a photo in white font (like notes in paper) the camera is shaking (like the old cameras with the computer screen). Can I fix it in camera settings?

Sorry, but I don't quite understand what this means. You mean the camera won't focus, and the pics come out blurry?
Just tried it, and I have no issues taking a photo of a note on white paper. It focuses very quickly, and the pic is clear with just the default settings. Perhaps try to experiment with the camera distance (holding the camera closer or farther) or better illumination.
My Reno 10x zoom phone has a strange issue. When I turn on camera it shows rear viewfinder at the same time the shark fin (front camera) pops out. But when I change to front camera for a selfie shot the shark fin closes and the screen goes black. I don't know how to fix this issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like you've got the phone facing the wrong way!!!
Of not....then there's a software issue.
Try:
1. Turning the camera around (LOL)
Or
2. Deleting camera cache and storage
Then
3. Restarting device. Check

I did clear the cache and did software update to android 10. Still no change. With the rear camera out of the three only wide angle camera works at all the different settings. Oit doesn't switch ot the main camera or the periscope.

And there's nothing preventing it from rising? Anything stuck in the sides stopping it coming out (dirt, sand, etc)?
