Common Phone Camera Problems and How to Fix Them

Camera problems can be a simple software issue or a fault in the camera module itself. Before thinking about a repair, many cases are solved with a few simple steps. Here are the most common problems and their fixes, in order.

Blurry Photos

Start by cleaning the lens with a soft cloth, and remove any protector or case that covers part of it. If the blur remains, the stabilization module may have been affected after a drop.

Black Screen When Opening the Camera

Fully close the camera app and restart the device. Update the system and try a different camera app to confirm the problem is not software related.

Camera Won't Focus

Shaking while shooting or a damaged focus system is a common cause. Hold your hand steady and try manual focus. If it continues, the fault is in the camera module.
