Lumia 1020 Camera Won't Hold Focus

Anonymous

When using my 1020, I hold the shutter button halfway down to let it autofocus. It proceeds to do so briefly, but as I push the button, it loses focus and results in blurry photos. The manual focus does a little better. If I tap to focus, I can usually get the focus I want after 10 or so tries. This issue comes up at any focal distance.

Is the camera broken?

Thanks.

    Dear Sir

    I also have the same problem for the past 2 months.

    The front camera works perfect but the rear camera has

    more zoom as before and blur picture.

    Hi have you had any solution yet from the repairers?  Tell them it is worse when the phone is warm (mine is anyhow and gets better when the phone is cooled down again)

    I like your logic AmishJhaveri.  I certainly agree that the camera appears to want to focus on a near object.  However, I am not convinced about the dirt as the only cause because it definitely is a lot more likely to happen when the phone is warm and will then have corrected once the phone has cooled down again, which would not be the case I suspect if it was just  caused by a dirty lens?  I will nevertheless make sure that at least the outside of the lens is clean. as this is always exposed even when the phone is in its case.

    Even though I have cleaned the lens, the issue still has existed.  I agree with 1)  & 3)
