Blurred background

[Emzi]

Tried to take a group photo today using the front camera and it blurred out people's faces. How can I stop this?

Did the camera just blur out everyone's face's and leave everything else fine @Emzi 

Can you upload the example please. 

In the interim clear the camera's cache via Settings > Apps >  Camera > Storage > Clear Cache. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

Were you using portrait mode or normal photo mode?

Also the camera lenses can easily be smudged.

[Emzi]

It's in landscape.

It's not a smudged lens, it's an effect where the background has been blurred which includes my friend's faces

[Emzi]

Cache cleared and still happening. It's a new phone so wasn't much to clear!

It blurred out everything in the background. Two faces in the foreground are fine.

I can't upload the picture as I don't have permission from the people in the photo to share it.

Maybe you used portrait mode. Try either the default photo mode.

[Emzi]

What do you mean? How can it be in portrait mode? How do I change this please?

Portrait and normal photo mode
