What to do if my Galaxy phone camera does not focus on the subject?

If the focus is blurry when taking pictures with your Galaxy phone, there are a few things you can check. First, however, you should note that when the camera focuses on a single subject, the background area may appear out of focus normally. To check the camera focus function, follow the guide below.

Before you try the recommendations below, be sure to check if your device's software and related apps are updated to the latest version. To update your mobile device's software, follow these steps:

Step 1. Go to Settings > Software update.

Step 2. Tap on Download and install.

Step 3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Often poor focus can be attributed to a camera lens that is not clean. Dirt or foreign objects on the phone camera lens can interfere with autofocus. Clean the lens with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Also, make sure your phone cover and phone accessories don't cover the edges of the camera lens which can also prevent the camera from focusing.
