Note 20 Ultra auto focus issue

I have a  problem with note 20 ultra autofocus

most of times main camera doesn't auto focus (tough screen to focus also doesn't work) and result is blurry. but at the same time wide 0.5x and telephoto 5x works fine and auto focus works correctly. the ridiculous solution is a small knock to camera and auto focus start working also changing between video and camera can resolve issue temporary until the next time that you start the camera app i think autofocus issue in main camera only affect on far subject  and about close subject  i see the camera trying  to auto focus 

I think the issue appear after some updates . I cannot remember that before last update. also i remember the same problem before first update. the issue goes and come back after sequential updates

Try to go to settings, look for the camera app and clear cache.
Another software fix may be if you go to Galaxy store, download Galaxy labs, open, tap on Galaxy app booster and after installation, give it a run. It may take a while but makes a big difference overall.

I have this same issue. Wide 0.5x and telephoto 5x works fine but 1.0x - 4.9x comes out blurry. 😞 I need to shake my phone for it to work okay. 

 

Any solutions?

Is it now resolved? If yes, may I ask what did you do?

Still got the problem. The last 3 updates have all had "camera improvements" in them but it hasn't fixed the issue. Fantastically annoying and disappointing.

I have the same issue, it's unacceptable. What a garbage.

Same her , nothing to do with updates , just couple days ago started not to focus to far distance, my main camera focuses from like 20cm up to 1.2m then stops focusing anything further. Wide angle camera and telephoto are OK but main ha sissues . Clearly this mechanical issue as after good knock starts working and then stops . Samsung recently having focusing issues on most of the phone
