Hello, my iPhone 12 Mini rear camera will not focus when using the 1.0+ mode, for both videos and pictures. Only the 0.5 - 0.9 modes will focus properly.
I have cleaned the camera, updated to the latest OS 16.5, removed my case, closed the camera app, restarted the phone, and changed the camera settings, but nothing is working.
It has been like this for quite some time and I have yet to find a solution.
Thank you
So finally booked a trip to the Apple Store and they said it was most likely the image stabilisation in the lens that was faulty and needs replacing. No other damage to my 12 mini iPhone so they did it today and I can finally take normal focused images again.
They asked if I rode bikes either a motorbike or a push bike (I ride neither) as sometimes especially when they are used on the handlebars for gps or other this can happen when the phone is jiggled around a lot.
Hope this helps
I am having the same problem. Is there a solution?
Can I just pile on and flag that this sounds like a bug issue from an update that went out to iPhone 12 Mini users. @apple any chance this could get support attention?
Im having the same problem with my 12 mini. Any solutions ?

What did it cost for the Apple Store to fix your image stabilization?
I am having a same issue and I was told it would cost $190 to replace the camera which seems absurd for what it seems to be a system issue. Anyone able to have Apple to cover the replacement/repair?
it probably depends on how well you have looked after your phone but the guy I saw said I was covered so this fee was what it costs to have it replaced if you have knackered your phone I guess
How much did it cost you? Do you pay for apple care? Any advice on what to ask for when I visit the Genius Bar? So far no body has been able to help me with this issue. Thanks!
I'm having the same issue. It started a week ago and happens with 1x rear standard lens, unable to focus. The front camera, an ultra wide lens 0.5x are still working well.
