Help Droid Camera malfunction?

[GMANLIVE]

I am not sure if my Droid camera is working correctly or if it is the software. I am using the app "shopsavvy that uses the camera to scan/focus on a bar code but the auto focus works hard to focus and sometimes can't. Is anyone else experiencing this or similar issues with the camera? Do I need to take it back for a replacement?

I am not using this but I have seen that the fix is to set the camera mode to "action".

NICE. Props to you. Changing to suto fixed it for me and all the scanning apps work great. Thanks!

I suggest you look to see if you have an update available. They recently updated the app to add better compatibility. This issue is also being addressed in OTA update on 12/11

Go into the native camera app and change the scene mode from auto to action and that will fix the probs with the barcode apps

Clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. No kidding--check this thread out: http://androidforums.com/how-tips/18745-clean-camera-lens.html
