Symptoms

  • Photos are blurry or not focused.

Most Likely Causes

  • Low light or incorrect holding can cause blur.
  • A red focus frame means the subject is out of focus.
  • Tracking can fail when the subject is small, moving, backlit, or in a dark place.

Fixes in Recommended Order

1. Clean the camera lens if it is dirty

Clean the lens. The lens is clean.

2. Hold the camera correctly and keep the lens unobstructed

Hold the camera correctly. Nothing blocks the lens, flash, or microphone.

3. Half-press the Shutter button to focus

Half-press the Shutter button. The camera adjusts focus and exposure.

4. Capture only when the focus frame is green; recompose and focus again if it is red

Check the focus-frame color at the camera shooting display. Green confirms focus; red means focus must be tried again.

5. Use OIS or a tripod to reduce camera shake

Stabilize the camera using the OIS setting or tripod. Camera movement is reduced.

What the Result Means

The subject is focused and camera shake is reduced.

When to Stop Troubleshooting

Stop when the subject is focused and camera shake is reduced. If the expected result does not occur after the supported steps, do not add unrelated settings; route the case for product support or manual review.

Prevention

  • Use a tripod when slower shutter operation makes the camera difficult to hold steady.
  • For focus lock, half-press the Shutter button before recomposing.
