So basically my touches are about 6cm away from where I actually touched the screen, it won't let me switch to front camera or press the shutter button because of this.. any ideas on how to fix it? I tried screen calibration but the Moto camera seems to be the only problem.

Maybe try clearing cache and data for camera app.

Man that sux. Are you rooted or tampered with system in any way? Have you tried just wiping the phone? (Factory reset?)
If you didn't do anything like change or add anything in the build.prop having to do with the camera, I would try a factory reset or reflash the firmware and if neither fix the problem, you've got a problem with your touch screen or something.
Did all that, idk what it is honestly. My touch screen works fine with everything else except camera.

I'm having a big problem with the camera app.
It appears that when I open, the camera automatically starts and tries to take pictures (by focusing) and then going black, and then coming back up to the camera viewfinder screen, then black, then viewfinder, then black, etc forever. It's as if the camera app opens, closes, opens, closes, again and again.
Both the rear and front camera have this problem...
The camera app used to work just fine.
When I try to use Google Goggles, it lags the camera terribly, and that's when it started (after using Goggles today). I uninstalled Goggles, but the camera is still messed up.
I use the camera in other apps just fine, like the Yelp Monocle, Camcorder and Qik, and they are still working fine, even if the camera app is broken.
I have tried Clear Data from the camera app, rebooting, battery pulling. I'm on my last resort, factory reset!
can we get some info about your phone... rooted? rom? ect...
Bone stock.
well with that note i dont have a clue... the first time i turned my phone on i rooted it and never looked back!
i would power off, and volume down and power to get to h boot and factory reset...
So apparently the problem has to do with Geo-tagging, or anytime the GPS is in use with the camera in a picture taking capability.
I have turned geo-tagging off and the camera app is seeming to work...
i am glad you figured it out bro! sorry i wasnt any more help though...
just flashed the gingersense rom and omfg this is NICE, just sayin... maybe you might want to come to the DARK SIDE and root, lol

The only things you can do are:
- wipe data of the camera app in system/apps/all apps
- Data/factory reset
- Flash your rom with Odin and data factory reset.
If that doesn`t work its probably a hardware failure.
Thanks dude
you're awesome.....
you sabe from buying another s4. i just did the step 2 and worked perfectly!
could you explain me what exactly happened.
thanks man you're Gods will.....

1. Dial *#34971539#
2. Select second option called Phone to CAM FW Write (Rear) and update your camera if isnt updated. If you have it grey, forget it.
3. Latest option is change the front camera. You have a very nice guide for fix it -> HERE

You have any source for the "upgrade camera fix"?
And replacing the front facing camera is not an option, the camera works just fine, it has to be a software bug.
Edit:
I tested what you said, updating the camera and it worked! Thank you so much!
Edit 2:
Nevermind, the bug is still there...

So my girlfriend's i9505 front facing camera is acting wierd. I think it happened when she upgrated to 4.3.
When using any effect with the front camera, the picture gets way too dark and you can mostly only see shapes. When you enable the "dual camera feature" and then disable it the camera gets normal again, but as soon as you change effect or re-open the front camera it gets dark again.
This doesn't happen with the rear camera though. If you select an effect with the rear camera and then switch to front camera, the pic is normal. But as soon as the problem appears, it stays there even if you switch cameras, and you have to close the camera app to get it normal again.
It's really wierd, I've wiped Camera data, wiped cache through recovery (stock rom/recovery, non-rooted), and I even did a factory reset but nothing, the bug is there.
Anyone else facing the same problem? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Did you figure out how to fix it?
Nope, haven't found much about it..
My rear camera doesn't focus on anything more than an inch or two away no matter what I've tried.
Snapchat or regular camera app, the pics all come out extremely blurry.
Has anyone else had this problem/know a solution?
Sounds like a hardware defect... But...
Try clearing appdata for the camera to rule out the app... Or factory reset to rule out any potential software issues
Shake your phone like a Polaroid picture. Seriously.
It's a known issue with the OIS. So shaking your phone will get it back right. No need to reset anything.
Unfortunately I've tried clearing cache & the shaking thing too
My wife's phone has the same issue. I told her to get it replaced after I tried everything I saw.
Hi. Does anybody else has a problem when launching the camera with the screen locked (with double tap in the power button or quick toggle on the lock screen) you can't change between the lenses? When I click I get a vibration kind like if I was trying to use the fingerprint sensor. When I unlock the phone and open the camera it works fine. Tried clearing cache, rwbooting phone still has this issue!
Works fine here

Here used too work fine as well. Suddenly this started to happen. Only when opening with screen locked
Anyone else with this problem? Still can't switch between the 3 cameras when launch the camera from lock screen
This is caused by goodlock's notistar.
Disable it in lockscreen
