Just got the phone today. I love it. But for some reason, the auto focus isn't working on my camera. I've tried everything. Played around with different settings. I've taken about 8 photos. All have been blurry. Any thoughts?

Try a factory reset. If that doesnt work then return the phone. This phone has one of the best cameras I have seen on a phone.

Tried everything. Camera is defective. Sent it to Samsung to have camera replaced.

I hope that someone can help, my camera will not focus anymore. Every picture that I take, other than close up, is blurry. I've tried turning the Auto Focus off and then on again, restarting, and cleaning the lens, but nothing has worked.

Have you rooted your phone or loaded a new rom? If so, return it to stock and see how it does. If not, or problem is still there after you revert to stock it sounds like a defective camera and you need to exchange your phone.
My girlfriend's Samsung Galaxy S III has been producing photos with random lines through the saved photos constantly. It originally did this most noticibly when the battery was critically low but now it does it all the time. I then thought it might be an issue with CM10, but I just updated it (clean) to 10.2 stable release and it still does it.
Curiously, some other third party camera apps don't do this, but actually right now I just checked and it is happening in all apps. The live preview from all cameras looks fine. It's the SAVED photos that are screwed up. I tried setting the camera app to Internal vs. SD Card to make sure it wasn't a bad SD card but that didn't change anything. Turns out it happens EVERY time with the flash on but sometimes with the flash off.
My mom has my old GSIII and hers does THE SAME THING on very low battery, but not as much as this phone. She is also on CM10.2. I didn't notice it while I used it for 8 months.
Finally, another friend of mine also has a Sprint Galaxy S III and his is not even rooted and still on stock ROM. His does it with full or dead battery and almost all the time too.
Is this a known problem or what? Should I just revert to stock and get it replaced? I will probably nandroid and switch to stock to see if it does it there.
Here's some links to problem files:

No one else has ever seen this? I flashed back to stock and it seems to do it LESS but picture quality is still iffy. Any idea why CM10 would do this but stock wouldn't?
Its a cm issue. Happens in low light photos. Has green lines and stuff in the photo correct?

Strange. Is there more info about it anywhere? Like I said a friend of mine has unrooted stock and it does it. And it seems to only do it when flash fires. I figured out if I use touch and then snap the photo works fine. It also does it more or worse on low battery. Battery is not bad.

I haven't paid attention to the battery level when I notice this issue but I have noticed that it doesn't happen on the Touchwiz Camera app. It does happen with Focal (recreated last night) and the stock AOSP app (when I was on CM10/11). I am currently on MOAR 7.0.1 and noticed it on Focal last night. I believe the battery was close to dead and charging. I wonder if its the way the app accesses the flash.

Battery got down to about 39% when I last tested. Saw some faint streaking using Focal. None using stock camera.
Strange guys. It does it less on CM11 with Camera Zoom FX than stock. Always on stock with flash on. At least with Camera Zoom FX, you can put flash on torch mode and it works fine. This isn't so bad since it helps focus better and faster anyway. Blinding though.

Is anyone else having a problem with the camera no focusing. I've tried everything but a factory reset and my camera will not focus.

I have noticed that as well on my Sprint S6. It happens alot. Normally i have to turn the phone sideways and it will focus. Is there maybe a setting we don't have on or something?
I haven't tried that yet thanks for the tip will try that now.
Hi,
My treat camera used to work fine, but one day started the autofocus started to fail, and pictures taken are blurry.
I've checked using other camera applications (which don't use the laser focus) but all are having the same issue.
I've ordered a new camera and changed, just to find the same issue.
I've noted that when using the magic mode, the pictures taken can be manually focused and they are good as they used to be.
I've also run the camera test on the hidden menu, and it shows AF failed.
Any idea? Is it possible to calibrate the focus of the camera?
Thanks in advance.

SOLVED
I had to buy another camera, and now it is working.
It cost me about 10 US$ on ebay.

When I open the camera app, the screen is shaking hence can't take photos. Only happens on the rear camera photo and video. When taking selfies everything is ok. I already tried factory reset and it's still the same.
Can't attach the short video here, maybe someone can help me so I can show you guys.
Thanks for any info.

If this issue persists after FDR it is likely a hardware issue. Is your bootloader unlocked? As a last chance to rule out software you may want to try installing a full factory image from fastboot. Otherwise do you have any warranty options?
Maybe a video stabilization issue. Turn off the software option and see if it does anything. Either way, I would get a replacement.

Something weird, I tapped the camera lens at the back a bit hard multiple times and it fixed the issue. Problem is, after a few hours it shakes again and I have to tap the lens again for it to go away.

Sounds like a hardware issue to me. Time to explore any warranty options you may have.
