Paphos Life

I have a Galaxy A40 phone with a front and rear (selfie) camera.
When I bought the phone at the end of 2019 I though the camera was pretty good or at least adequate.
However in recent weeks the main forward facing camera will not focus.. it is always blurred and I can see it 'moving' trying to get the focus right.. But it never does..
I have tried a reset of the camera via the camera settings, but no change.. Is there anything else I can do, or somewhere I can take it.. The wide angle view is just fine, but not the main lens

If I ever have a problem with electronic equipment I always go on YouTube to find the answer and generally the information is there.
My Quadcopter developed a judder on the camera when filming and sure enough the answer was there and simple things like changing batteries on my Garmin Sat Nav are all there.
I can only speak as I find but I have two Samsung Smart TVs and have never had any problems with them. Our main TV is an LG and again apart from a sound problem which I managed to solve with a fix from YouTube it's working fine.

I have been using a Samsung A51 and have no problems,in fact the 4 lens camera is truly stunning, may I suggest you take your phone to a proper dealer to have a look, then at least you have a professionals report.

But as Jim above does UTube solves many problems.

I have mostly Samsung electronics and unlike my Sony TV all work and are very reliable, just to put another tack on this.

Good luck.

Thank you all for your helpful hints and tips. I will certainly be looking into them..

Electrical goods have a two year warranty, If I remember correctly, do cameras fall under electrical goods?

I think the phone was guaranteed for a year or you could pay extra for longer. I didn't pay the extra..
I have looked at the Video and I think that I will take into some shop or other that does repairs and knows (better than me) what they are doing..

Trev, I was searching last night and I think it's a common problem with several Galaxy devices and various models of phones and tablets.
There are solutions posted, which seems to involve having to clear the cache and a full restart. It's not always necessary to have a repair....
Worth having a try first.

Strangely enough. Samsung make the screens for Sony TV's as apparently Sony stopped doing it to concentrate on solar panel production.

I have an A50 and it is a fab camera.
