Camera does not focus

I sent my phone to repair because some issues with the speaker. In the moment I got it back I flashed it with Froyo FR and I realised that the camera was not able to focus it didn't even make that sound or whatever, it just takes the pictures without focus. Do you guys think that it could be a software or a hardware problem?

Ive experienced this before. But in my own exp. It is either the subject is moving fast, you are too close to the subject especially if flash is on, or there is little contrast or light.

No, it is nothing like that. Before every time I launched the Camera it made a sound, and right before to take the picture as well. Now I cannot even focus when I want to read a QR code with the Code Reader.

Camera flash

So I just got the ota 2.3 about an hour ago. So I'm playing with everything on my phone, I noticed one thing, the camera flash is off, not that it doesn't flash, its not timed right.
I took a night shot and its dark as hell, I have to go in and adjust before I take a picture.
Camera use to take some great night shots.
If anyone noticed and has a fix let me know.

Photos show rotated when taken as portrait

Hello all,
So I've searched for this issue before, and while I've found others that have the same problem, nobody seems to have found a solution.
The issue is that when I take a picture in portrait mode, and then either try to MMS or send to my PC, the photos end up rotated on their side. I noticed that when I open my camera, it looks like my phone is rotating to landscape. I have tried resetting auto screen rotation, but no luck. Anyone have any idea about a solution to this? My wife's S3 does the same thing so others MUST have the same problem, I'd assume. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Just take photos in landscape. They come out looking normal. It's a known bug. I don't think there's a setting to change it.

Since i rooted and flashed new kernel and rom never happened again

this happens when i have Auto Rotate function turn off. I just turn it back on and everything is back to normal.

I didn't know that about auto rotate.

How many articles have been written about the pitfalls of taking pictures in portrait? Just don't do it

Photos underexposed is slightly less then perfect light?

So I have a couple different issues.
1. When in less then perfectly lit areas I can take a pic even with the flash on and every pic comes out darker then what it should. Anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this or has anyone else ran across this?
2. The flash seems to go off waaaaay more then needed. In near perfect light with the flash set to auto. Anyone have issues like this as well? Any fixes?

help taking a decent photo

sorry if this has been asked to death but i couldnt find anything. everytime i try to take a picture regardless of rom it always turns out blurrys and or if im lucky just fuzzy. Now every once and a while when god answers my prayers i can take a good photo. are there settings that will help my issue?

I dont have this issue so I dont know. Maybe your camera lens is smudged up? An example of a photo you took might help.
