Dear all!

I am not sure when the problems have started, but may be triggered by some of my attempts to tune the camera.

Some weeks ago I realized that the focus of the camera did not work anymore. The camera app tries to focus, but the images are often very blurred (much worse then before). I played around, and reinstalled jolla-camera*, which didn't help, by

pkcon remove jolla-camera
pkcon install jolla-camera

Today I realized that also the setting, where to save new fotos, is not saved in the settings page (jolla-camera-settings). I can set my SD card, but when I reopen the settings page, it says that the SD card is not found. I searched for old config files with wrong permissions, but haven't found any. I have no other problems with mounting of the SD card.

Interesting, maybe suspicious, fact: jolla-camera* apps' version is 1.0.1-1.9.3, i.e.

 jolla-camera-1.0.1-1.9.3.jolla.armv7hl Jolla Camera application
 jolla-camera-lockscreen-1.0.1-1.9.3.jolla.armv7hl  Quick capture viewfinder for the lockscreen.
 jolla-camera-settings-1.0.1-1.9.3.jolla.armv7hl    Setting page for jolla-camera

compared to 1.0.1-1.9.2. in the changelog of Sailfish OS 3.0.0.8.

Do these problems look familiar to you? Do you have some hints?

Thank you!
