I was about to do some camera comparisions and noticed that the camera on my Jolla C won't focus properly. For some reason closeups (10-20cm) are very sharp but anything over that and the pictures are all blurry. No difference in tap-to-focus, infite or auto. I've tried rebooting but that didn't help. Stuck in macro mode or something ?

It may be hardware issue, your lensed is locked. Try to gently tap over, it may help. Got the same issue witg my jolla legacy, Jolla changed the camera at the end, very efficiently I must said, rhe phone was back within a feq days. cheers

I am having exactly the same problem, I am not sure lens is locked, however it seems to focus at a different point. Yes close ups are better.

same here. used to get good and sharp pics with my jolla but that suddently changed a few months ago. Now all pics are really bad. No gentle tap on the case helped. What means lens is locked? how to unlock it? Really need the cam working properly, my little boy is growing every day.

for me the update 2.0.4 fixed this.

the pictures are still not great, but it holds a focus.

even the tip to focus works (up to the limits of the bad lens), so focusing {upper|lower} {left|right} corner works.

I can confirm that. Close-up photos aren't blurry anymore.
