Yes, i want to know if anyone else have that problem? Well i live in Turkey so i couldn`t try it on 3G network, but when i use coolcamera app. i see that the picture is very very fuzzy (i couldnt even understand where it shows on the screen) and it is rotated 90degreed as default. Is that because of the under quality front camera that htc uses on hermes or is it that my front camera is broken?
It is (both the quality and the rotation).
The pictures shouldn't be completely fuzzy. It should be relatively sharp depending on the lighting. The issue is probably the focus mode the lense is in.
On the back of the phone, next to the camera lense, is a little slider with a dot and a picture of a flower. You might have it in Macro mode. Adjust the slider so that it is next to the Dot instead of the Flower. Macro mode is for taking pictures of up close objects.
--EDIT:
I just re-read your post and noticed you are talking about the front camera, not the back camera. Sorry!

Lately I noticed that the camera on my HD2 is struggling to take sharp pictures.
The area of focus is sharp but the rest of the pictures is not...
In the settings I have seen that the metering mode is set to spot but I cannot change it, its greyed out...
Is there a software upgrade/fix for or do I have to flash a complete rom or is it just a case of finger trouble, if so please explain how I can solve this issue...
Look at the picture and you will see what I mean...
this would be caused by the camera using a large aperture, not sure if theres anyway to control it cause the hd2 doesnt have an option for this setting.
A smaller aperture would be what you want to have everything in your photo in focus.
I have been looking to pictures taken by the HD2 6 months ago and those pictures are actually quite OK. Looks like my camera is slowly failing as I have not changed any setting...
Well if nobody has any tips I guess thats will be the end of my HD2, as this whas the main reason of buying the HD2 to have a descent camera with me all the time. As this phone also struggles with a weak gsm/radio reception I dont see any reason of keeping it...

under the settings in camera, turn Touch Focus OFF - this will let you choose your meetering option. I haven't tested it, as I'm happy with the way my camera takes pictures, regardless of aperture and whatnot.
as above then choose average for metering mode
So, just curious if anyone knows if there's away to fix this or not. But I'm have problems with the camera and it focusing on close up objects. The only reason I bring this up is because when the camera app "tries" to focus, the subject in question will come into focus, clear as a bell, and then go right back out of focus and it'll take the picture. And yes, I've got spot focus on, and tap and hold the screen where the subject is. still nothing.
i'm hoping this isn't one of those hardware to software hindsight's where there's no way to force the camera to focus where you want it.

Not sure tap and hold screen part. You have your finger on the screen when taking the pic? Maybe I just misunderstood you. But you normally tape the screen where you want to focus and then it should focus automatically and then just snap your picture.

Nah, you do have to tap and hold in order for it to take the photo, thats normal. My camera focuses though and takes the picture no problem.
yeah, you can either click the little shutter button or tap and hold a spot on the screen and it'll focus there and snap the picture.
guess i should have been more clear. its having a problem doing macro focusing. if the subject is a food foot or more away, it focus every time, perfectly.
the problem is when i'm trying to take a photo of something very close to the camera. And the only reason I'm asking about this is because when it "tries" to focus, the image will indeed come into perfect clarity, and then go right back out. and sometimes several times as if the focusing is trying to find the right spot. and ultimately it just gives up and everything is blurry. And I'm left going what the...? because obviously it can focus on it, but why wont it?
My temporarily solution for now is to zoom in that tiny bit allowed and use that to get as close to the subject as i can before the auto focus stops working and get the picture that way. still not really what i want, but it'll work.
Set the camera to AUTOFOCUS, open the keyboard and use the ENTER key as the camera button.
Additional tips.
Turn OFF shutter sound and timestamp to speed up the photo taking process.
Leave ISO and Whitebalance to auto as they seem to work pretty well on the shift.
Quality HIGH
Geotag off (unless you REALLY need this)
NO review speeds up time to next shot.
Center area metering mode seems to work surprisingly well on the shift, especially with flash set to auto.
Also, note, the CLOSER you are to an object you are photographing, the more still you NEED to be. Panaramic/outside shots with a large DOF are awesome. Closeups at 6", you seriously gotta lay off the coffee and brace yourself well. 1mm of hand movement will blur your photos really bad. That's a intake of breath or exhale!
This isn't exactly a professional high speed Nikon with prime lens we're working with. Set your expectations accordingly.

Ok, I take back what I said about it working for me because I have the same exact problem with it looking focused and then going out if focus.

I'm seeing the same problem. It focuses very clearly just before snapping the shot, but then the picture it takes is out of focus. I've tried the tips here and nothing improved on the problem.
Cameras need light to focus. It's going in and out of focus because it doesn't have enough light to tell where the object is in relation to the background. Plus you can only macro so close with a camera lens. Try getting more light in your shots and see if it helps focus. I ran into this yesterday and fixed it by moving the object to a better-lit location.

I know this thread is old, but I think this is a big problem. Even if the subject is well lit, and you use spot metering or tap on an object just a few feet away to focus, the lens will focus and you will see the object become really detailed, then the focus decides to focus on something behind it, rendering the object blurry. This is the case with almost every photo that I take of any object within 3 feet.
Lets say I take a photo of a flower outside in the daylight. Any foliage behind the flower will be focused on, even if you press directly on the middle of the flower.
My theory is that it seems to focus better in lower light situations, where your subject is the only thing lit. If the entire frame of view is well lit, it will make the majority of the image sharp.
Hello
I just get a LG G2 F320L, but for three days I noticed a few things that do not work:
the camera or the rear camera; his makes me fuzzy images, even when I want to film a video, the video shakes, even if I want to take a picture, the rear camera shakes alone, I tried to lower ISO, quality, mode, but not many changes, when I'm close to the subject or the object that I want to photograph, his pass! but when he is away, it is a problem (if the images are attached)
Here are some pictures when I take a picture of something that is near

brief when I want to shoot a picture normally I find great difficulty, although the green rectangles appear, the picture is blurred, as if the lens vibrates
Up plz

Looks like a hardware defect or Parkinson's. Maybe you could try taking a picture using a stand/table and place the phone carefully against something like a book to take a perfectly still picture?
I tried what you said but the camera shakes alone,

I bought f320k model from aliexpres and I have the same problem. I had before d802 and camera has been much much better.
I had the fuzzy and shaked pictures problem too, but I figured that the problem is the magnet of the speaker... The camera has its own magnets to control the lens, but the speaker magnet is very close, so this "interference" causes that the camera dont focuses properly... My fix was put a layer between the camera module and the speaker, and now the camera works like new!
I noticed my back camera lens is slightly lower than center and sometimes it moves to center.... I understand OIS must be the reason but it's unacceptable when camera is off. OIS and consequently camera slight movements must be active when you use camera!
Has anybody else noticed this?
So...do you have a real problem with the camera when taking pics ... or not?
Hello.
My G6 camera (right hand side) is extremely blur when I want to take a photo.
It seems like the right hand side lens is dirty or damaged so the picture quality is very very poor. You can't even recognize the face of the person you shot.
But if I change to wide view angle it is fine as normal.
But is matter here.
