A5 front camera blur issue - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

I noticed front camera photos are blur when I take selfie at the extend of hand! If I take close selfie, it's not. But if subjects are far(as long as hand length), the photo is totally blur.
any solution for this? I used open camera and camera FV but results are same.
How to make Samsung hear our voice to fix this?
By the way, I have Huawei nova which doesn't have front camera auto focus but photos aren't blur at all.

Hello, I have the same problem. When focusing before taking the photo, is focused. But when you take it, it goes out of focus. Focusing on objects in front of the face.

I'm selling my A5 as its front camera is totally useless. All photos I take, unless I'm close to camera, are blur! I'm now using my Huawei Nova which has similar specs. It even has no focus in front camera but photos are clear crystal.

Guys, I tried contacting Samsung on their .eu website and got a very funny reply:

Try to use the screen flash when taking a selfie. I've tried it on my a5 2017

I don't have this problem, I used the front cam to take the below image from a distance in low light and it is perfectly ok, I think you need to send your phone to Samsung to fix.

Has Samsung solved this problem yet?

Yes i have this problem
It take to crazy !!
Any fix ! Hobe to fix

The camera is not bad. Well. If you want focus, use the rear camera. In the good lighting conditions the front 16mpX is awesome for selfies.

I admire Samasung's OLED and AOD (Always On Display) features among other good features like using reversible USB, bringing Nougat to A* 2017 series.
@alirezaircn
I have a few questions:
Have you ever heard about front camera focus problem on other A* 2017 phones like A7 2017 or A3 2017?
As a customer who experienced super clear very beautiful vivid colors on A5 2017, how much worse is Huawei Nova LCD screen rather than A5 2017?
Has Huawei provided Nougat update for Nova?
Thanks in advance

I noticed that too. So much for being a 16mp shooter. Everything I tried to shoot is always getting blurred. Feels like im using a vga camera with a little bit of light. Lmao

[/COLOR]Damn I thought it was my problem that every time the photo is blurry so it was the phone issue I recently buied that phone & it was really awesome until I found this issue should we approach service centre for that issue or wait for the updates???

The problem in this phone is that the front camera's depth-of-field is very low. If you dont know, most selfies have friends behind us. And your camera makes them all blur. Poor customers think it is their fault. They don't know Samsung engineers have done a bad job. So sad that This issue cannot be even fixed. The front camera of even chinese phones is awesome. No one is blurred even if they stand 5 ft away from my face. I had previously samsung S4 mini, j5 2015, music duos 6012, mega 5.8 and wanted to be a loyal customer to samsung. Now I don't trust and dont wanna recommend to my friends or others in future. Im so sad because of this retarded front camera

even my j7 pro 2017 has bad front camera.

my j7 pro 2017 always get out of focus image when we try to take group selfies. probably due to depth of the field issue

Selfie quality

You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the LG G5 performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Would've been 5 stars if the front camera wasn't prone to suddenly getting really grainy, really dark, or really bright. Will update if the 10d update fixed that.
hello im new here. i dont know if you guys notice front selfie camera. at night while taking pictures, the camera lags, making picture quality blurry. i also notice if i smile while snapping the pic, in the outcome pic, im already not smiling and my eyes half closed, its funny. weird. heres another one. you save the pictures on SD card, there would be no lag/delay in camera , while if you change setting and change to storage to device, then take 2-3 pics then delete those pics, you will see a black screen for like 3 seconds before returning to the camera screen itself. please anybody...if theres anyone working for LG here, please fix. i have done the hard reset as the agent told me. but to no avail. i think this one needs another update , i love this phone but it needs camera bug updates because it gets so annoying already. given that the lg g5 has the 8mp front camera, this is weird.
i have the verizon one.
Hi
Hi, sorry, may i ask bout LG Stylus 2, i want to search about mirroring like samsung but i can not to find it. did you know how to solve it.
thanks
Front camera always looking a bit too smooth, like the beauty filter is active, but its deactivated.
Yeah, exactly.... When you are a girl that's probably good thing, but for man is freaking anoying with this filter, it looks really weird.... Any solution to this?
My front camera on my lg g5 is distorted, its blurred in the top and bottom of screen. I dont know why. Anyone experience this?
The front facing camera is great. I am very impressed.
Can't say the front facing camera is very good. Better than alot of other phones but its grainy smooth and loses so much detail.
Front camera on my G5 sucks totally. The highlights always get a pink tint and the camera doesn't feel like something that should be present in a flagship device. I have the OnePlus 3 too, which performs much better than my G5. Even the rear camera isn't as good as it should've been. I use the Indian variant H860 with the lastest software available for it ~ V10m
this one is better than s7 edge?

Blurry A5 2017 rear camera

Hi, I recently buy A5 2017 for my girlfriend. i thought the camera will be good since it have 16mp and Samsung brand. but, it turns out the camera is unusable. is there a setting or trick i don't know? because the rear camera always produce blurry photo even in good lightning situation. never have this problem with previous phone (oneplus x, iphone 5s, zenfone 3 and huawei p9), that in my opinion still produce usable picture even in dim light condition. do anyone have a similar problem? this is most expensive phone i ever buy but very disappointing camera performance.
for reference, my phone is like this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFQKBbLm3lE&t=105s
Yes this normal problem in this phone
Hope to fix in 7.0 !
Your device have same problem? It's very hard to get good picture with this phone. Must 3-4 times take to get better picture. Hope nougat update will fix this
Confirming that it is ****ty quality...

read opinion on gsmarena about galaxy A series 2017. they said the camera is amazing. can someone confirm if your device camera is amazing? maybe we get defect phone or something. because my phone, even in good light situation still have blur problem when the object move a little. in dim light situation, not usable
PS: i am not talking about colour reproduction or something like that. i like to take my photo fast so i can capture moment in time. doesn't have to be perfect but at least no blur and my galaxy a5 2017 is the only phone that can't provide that to me.
Sorry, I though you are talking about FRONT camera, the photos from REAR are usually sharp, but when moving, the chance of sharp photo is like 3/10...
Rear camera is foggy in night ....and front camera is blury...very bed phone....as comparisn to my old one a7 16 no ois
Did you clean the lens? No offense.
Both the a5 and a7 have this issue... If you want one advice: turn the flash on, it really helps.
Blurry camera A5 2017
Purchased from J Lewis , reviews said camera was good , read many reviews saying the same . At first when I used the phone and found the browser had giffgaff as the default home page I was surprised. Contacted them and they could/would not explain the reason . So I then after finding the rear camera was rubbish , I began to think I had a poor copy .
I had the S3 and camera is very good , so to then purchase a new A5 2017, and find the camera is crap , shocked me .
Is there anyway Samsung could sort it in a software update ?
Or am I stuck taking blurry photos ?

A5 2017 - Rear Camera - Blurry photoes

Hi, I do get lots of blurry photoes if I just move the camera a bit. I keep my hands as stable as possible for the tine till the picture is snaped, but the photo is still sometimes blurry. It is easiest to see this when I take picture of book or something, where is text. Why samsung doesn't include EIS at least?
Thank you.
EIS cannot be used for pictures, and OIS is not available in the A-series. This phone has an inferior camera, you should have known it. But it does have other great features.

Front Camera Fixed Focus Issue

My RN5Pro is running on stock miui version 9.5 the front cam is nice in low lights but the dissappointung part is that the front cams focus is fixed so that the pictures took in front cam has a little blurry nature the details are missing and face looks like painted .. is there any way to make manual or autofocus work on the front cam .. i have tried so many camera apps but while switching to front cam the focus looks locked .. if rooting and enabling camera2api helps it .. im noob here so someone who knows plzz reply.......
....
As you wrote it, its FIXED.
The RN5 has a strange, short focus distance. The distance is about an arm away: if you take a selfie, make sure you hold the phone as far as you can in your hand. But if you use a selfie stick, its too far, and faces will be blurry.
Earlier phones had a front cam, that was fixed to near infinite, so almost everything looked "sharp".
This new objective system provides a natural bokeh effect on the front cam, and if you're in focus, its very sharp. But the focus range is really short, so you're easily fall in or out of the focus point.
I also heard this problem from a Samsung A5 2017 user.
tl;dr: There's no mechanical focus on the front can, you cant change the focuspoint.

Theres no way to change it.

Question Selfie camera quality

I've been taking a lot of photos as of late, both with the front and rear cameras. I've noticed for a while that the selfie camera doesn't really produce clear and crisp images the way my old 2XL did. I've come across a thread where some folks have encountered the same issue, and wondering if anyone else here is experiencing this?
I've included a link that best shows exactly what I'm talking about, although the person isn't me in the thread.
If the camera is this bad I hope it can be fixed.

I have the same issue and it is frustrating, I also tried with 3rd party apps but still, the selfie images are kinda blurry. Is this a software issue or a hardware issue?
I've noticed the same compared to my 4xl. The selfies under lower than normal light come out a bit blurry or not as good as I remember them on my previous phone.
The front camera is a fixed focus lens. Physically it has a sharp spot and only that spot is sharp, the rest of it is all processing.
No real way around physics and lack of autofocus.

This. Some older models had front facing camera autofocus, P6 does not (unfortunately)

Do other phone manufacturers have this design, or is it only google?
