I find that the inside lens is dirty. I don't have the tool to open and clean it though.

Can you see visible marks on the glass that covers the camera? On my galaxy note the glass become marked, it happened quickly and it was almost like someone had dropped some super glue on the glass but I suspect it was that the glass was slightly raised out of the body and was being scuffed when you put the phone on say a table or desk. I was really careful with the phone as it was brand new and so can't think of any other reason. I could have sent it to be repaired but it would have been gone for about a month and I needed the phone.

What I eventually did to fix it was took some car scratch removing cream (cream that removes small scratches from car bodies) and rubbed that on the glass, it took a little while 20min of buffing but the glass slowly cleared and now photos are not blurred at all.

After repairing the broken SIM card base (GALAXY Note GT-N7000) at a local inexperienced shop, the back camera became blurred. After hitting the mobile by my palm, the camera recovered for a week or so. Later, it became blurred again. Despite thst I ordered the guy to re-open it for me ehere I cleaned the lens and the protecting glass with high quality lens cleaner.

Hold 'capture' button until the subject comes in focus, then release the button.

Hello. I would suggest downloading a new camera app, but you did mention this problem only started a few days ago...you can go to or contact your local phone store and they will help you. I hope this helps.

Hello all, I have the solution to this problem. I called Samsung and got someone who knew the solution. When taking the picture, HOLD down the 'snap'/'capture' button, until the picture comes in focus, then release the button. SMILES EVERYONE. ☺

Update (12/29/2017)

Select subject that you want to photograph

Hold down button

DO NOT release button, until subject is in focus

DO NOT TAP, KNOCK, BANG, SMASH, STOMP, OR ANY ACTION that could eventually cause more damage. Think about it, if you tapped yourself on the side of the head Every time you didn't operate properly, what do you think would happen?

Hi, I hope this works for everyone. I was sold to HOLD the capture (shutter) button and the picture will focus. Hold the capture button until it takes the picture.

This has been the solution for me. They all should be the same.

Mine is S8 and i faced the same problem

Just tap the phone from behind 2-3 times gently

It worked for me

All I did to cure the problem of a blurry photo was, hold down the button and do not release it, until the tablet has brought the picture in to clarity.

You could clean it with microfibre cloth and alcohol. Afterwards put a piece of scotch tape (clear) and press down to get into the smallest crack. It was recommended by a friend and it worked for my J1
