hi there ive had my s8 since release, sometimes i get the rear camera where it focuses on somethng close so when taking a picture further away (just a normal picture ) its blurry. ive managed to set it by focusing on somethign clsoe then moving away slow and ten it pops back however its been two days, ive tried flipping between front and back camera, HDR on or off, flash on or off, and ive done a soft reset and that hasnt fixed it.

anything else i can try?
 
I'm going to ask a question, please don't be insulted but I've done it before and it can be easy to overlook. Have you removed the little 'clear' protective plastic piece from over the camera? My Note 5 was driving me nuts until I realized I had left that on.

If you have removed that and the pictures are still blurry, try these steps:

- Launch the Camera app;

- Tap on the gear icon on the lower-left side of the screen and access the camera Settings;

- Identify the option labeled as Picture Stabilization;

- Turn that option off.
