Autofocus doesn't work anymore
I have a problem with autofocus: doesn't matter which setting i choose, the square is always red and taken pics are always totally out of focus. Is there a way to reset the camera or do you have any other suggestion to solve the problem?
@gordon_pcb_designer
Open Terminal and in root type the following command;
pkcon remove jolla-camera
(enter)Once removed, reboot your Jolla.
Open Terminal again as root, type the following
pkcon install jolla-camera
(enter)Reboot your Jolla again and check if the camera's auto focus works again.
Hope this helps.

Also in Infinite focus mode, both close and far objects are totally out of focus. With Tap to focus, the square remains always red, never becomes green but except this, the objects in the square area are out of focus.
The Continuous Autofocus mode doesn't work, moving the phone changing framing and taking pics from time to time, all the results are out of focus.
At this point i can't understand if could be a sw issue even if most probably is hw matter.

Tried the method above, nothing changed. I guess that's an hw issue; up to the fact that my jolla is brand new, received last week :((((((((
