Facing issue in focus of primary camera of my iphone 11

Recently i have started facing problem with my iphone’s primary main camera that its not able to focus on any object within the sufficient range and clicking blur images. I have also compared this same with other owner’s iphone 11 and its working fine on that! Is anyone with same problem or has solution to it?

If you were trying to focus on the screw/nail in the photo, did you try tapping the screen to force the focus on that individual spot? I'm guessing it is possible that you got a little too close. Trying to hold the iPhone in a position for a close-up as such, it is difficult to determine when you are too close, except by the lack of focus. Have you tried pulling back slightly? It seems in the photo that you provided that the focus is around the distance where the fingers join the palm area. It seems clearer there.

Hey Chris,


Thanks that you responded to my problem.

It was an example (the image i uploaded along with the question) having an object between the wider open background which is not clear even though i tapped to focus on my hand and it was far enough to focus i do some macro clicks and earlier it use to work with the same distance but now it doesn’t.


Attaching another reference:-

in the below image if you try to click a picture in the same way you will find it more crispier and clearer and the colors would be more enhanced rather than looking so dull as in this image!

The distance between your hand and the background is great enough that the f-stop on the iPhone camera will not support focusing on both objects. That is photography 101. Your second example has everything close together, so you are going to get a better focus to that. I would not find there is anything wrong with the camera, however you can make a Genius Bar appointment with you to have the hardware checked. Bring those photos with you to help explain the issue you are describing.
