That was my first thought, however mine doesn't appear to move. It seems stuck in that off-centered position.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it's not moving. I can't really tell if it's affecting ois, but it does worry me enough to try and get a replacement.

Could you please send me a photo? I didn't found the post where it's explained, in the thread you've linked
Oh, Yes, I've done it. No luck. Problem's still here.
Update: the problem got fixed for about 10 minutes, before appearing again.

Sorry man, not happy to heard that, i think you should buy another camera.
Hey,
Anyone had or got issues with the rear camera not focusing?
It takes ages to focus and I mean 3+ minutes.
It won't do it when I tap on the screen either.
Using OOS or a custom rom?
I have the same issue also. Apparently it's a known hardware issue Contact OP for RMA
I'm using FreedomOS
i have the same issue OOS latest Beta.
Install the latest OOS stable and if it doesn't work, contact Oneplus and explain the problem. If it's a hardware problem they have to fix it (if you still have warranty).
****, I just noticed my camera has problems to start focusing. The whole picture strangely waves durning focusing. But it will focus after a couple of seconds.
I had this problem, and it nearly drove me to getting a new phone. It followed me through OS updates and many different ROMs. Not much help on the threads here, either.
My problem was that the camera would constantly try to refocus, and would never focus on the foreground...things in the background were clear, but nothing in the foreground. Videos were horrible, constant refocusing and blurring. Didn't work in 3rd party apps like check deposit on my bank app, Snapchat, etc.
I found a YouTube video of a hardware repair that seemed ridiculous, but it actually fixed the issue for me. It's not too hard to do if you don't want to wait for an RMA from OnePlus...but it literally involved sticking a staple between a magnet in the phone and the camera module. If you don't feel comfortable opening your phone up, I wouldn't attempt it, but my camera has been working perfect since I did this redneck fix.
here's a link to the video. Watch it first before trying, and if it seems like it's too much, you may have to do an RMA.
I didn't want to believe it was a hardware issues either, but this honestly did fix it for me.
Good luck!
Has anyone else tried @Redjax workaround. I'm going crazy. My camera focus problems are getting worse.
Also, has anyone of you tried a camera replacement. If so, which one, share the link.
I'm thinking on trying the staple mod first before ordering a replacement.

This problem drove me crazy. I replaced the camera 2 days ago and now camera focuses perfectly, I did try the staple mod before this but I would sometimes focus, but not all the time.

Yeah, I thought so. The staple mod is just a temporary solution. Guess I'll order a replacement. Could you share the one you purchased?

Thanks mate. Finally got my replacement module and just installed it. Although it took forever to arrive and tearing down the phone wasn't as easy as YouTube makes it look, my camera is perfect again and I'm on love of my OP3 once again :good:

I was facing the same issue from couple of months. It started after a system update, don't remember the version tough.
So visited the service center today, the people there already had info about this issue. They replaced the camera module free of cost, even after my phone warranty is over! OnePlus knew the problem and they are fixing it for free.
I got my OP3 serviced at Pune, India.
Black shadow on every camera mode ??
Either damage to the sensor or, more likely, a piece of dust beneath the glass. Definitely not a software issue.

Like like a hardware issue. Something similar happened to me on my Xperia zl, it was a known defect in that model. I think you should get it replaced if you are under warranty.

Hi folks, had my S20U since Tuesday and been taking some photos recently and noticed in direct sunlight there some weird red hue/tint at the top of my photos using the main camera, paticularly the top left.
Is anyone experiencing this?
Photos attached.
Wondering if I have a faulty module.
Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is a hardware problem or just software side.. Try turning of scene optimizer, Bixby, and HDR and take the same picture if possible.

I already have tried that and the same issue remains so it definitely seems hardware related. It's only in very bright/sunlit scenes however.

Yea, same with me. Could be still a software related bug or something. I'll wait for an update or a statement from Samsung. If they cant fix it, it's definetly a hardware related problem and I'll return it and get another device / money back.

Try to shoot 2 pics in bright sunlight. One in normal mode and the other one with 108 megapixels.
Since these are different sensors, maybe the issue only appears with the normal sensor.

Can see that the defect is in the normal mode photo, not the 108mp one. It's also not present in ultra wide, either.
Have you tried replicating also?
Try again, but make sure your fingers are nowhere near the camera. One of my old phones did this and it was my finger being too close to the camera that introduced a red-ish hue to photos in sunlight.

Yep, same goes for me. No red tint on the 108 mp photo, but on the other ones.

Hi, did the new update solve your problem? You liked my post about the red tint on the german Samsung forum so you saw that the update solve the problem on my side, I hope the same goes for you.

Hi mate, I'm still waiting for the update to come through in Australia so hopefully that fixes the issue. When I went into the Samsung store they just said that I should wait for an update as there's noting that they could do. Glad it sorted the problem on your side, will report back when I get the update!

i will be appreciated for help me ✌
It's most likely a hardware issue. Many people are facing this. Just type in "pixel camera not working" and you'll see a lot of articles talking about it. Permanent fix is to replace camera module

No. You can check if camera is damaged using a strong neodymium magnet. Just google this.

I did google and saw that. I am hoping someone on here reads this and explain why freezing my phone makes the camera work
I don't know. I don't recommend doing this since the water will condense on the internal parts of the phone (warm and cold difference) and you risk shorting something out or you risk damaging the battery.
