Oct 12, 2012 9:14 AM in response to CragAggroby alwaystubed,The phone can't focus on items closer than about 4"-5". But anything further than that should be able to focus for sure in well lit rooms, outside, etc. Do a full restore, if that doesn't fix it make an apt. with apple store and show them, phone is a dud.

Nov 26, 2012 1:25 PM in response to alwaystubedby wilkie94585,Who says the phone cant' focus closer than 4 to 5 inches. BS. My iphone 4 did this flawlessly, it could even take closeups of finger prints and they would be crystal clear. My iPhone 5 did too when I first got it, after updating my os, it no longer will do that. the front camera will, the back camera will not.

Nov 26, 2012 1:32 PM in response to wilkie94585by alwaystubed,Actually it's about 2-2.5". Any claim of working closer than that is BS.

Jan 26, 2013 7:03 AM in response to CragAggroby Kaka Dongguan,Hi friend,
Touch the screen with two fingers (taking a distance between them) and swipe them to make the two fingers be close. It opens the bar to slide to zoom in/out.
Hope it helps

Jan 28, 2013 11:22 AM in response to Kaka Dongguanby wilkie94585,Kaka, it does not focus period. It is supposed to auto focus, and did when I got the phone. Now it does not auto or manual focus.
Apple wants me to give them my phone "plus" 800 dollars to cover the cost of a "loaner" phone, while they look at the issue. What a crock!

Mar 28, 2013 2:36 PM in response to Meme777by AlexNotte,★HelpfulI will tell you how i fixed the problem ( total accident but it worked ) i droped my phone , camera lost focus for distance... objects up close were still clear and in focus..
2 days later i droped my phone the exact same way by accident... it landed flat on the back.. and magicaly the camera was fine again..
Im guessing the problem is in a lens geting stuck or something .. and to fix it you have to shake it back into position.. So although i DO NOT suggest droping your phone or trying to fix it yourself.. it did solve my problem..
Some people report that taping on the camera lense/slapping your phone against your palm fixes the problem although it did not do the job for me.
So yeah , the issue seems to be with a lens being stuck or something..
Hope this helps , if all else fails and you still have your warranty go to an Apple Store, you should get it devise replaces on the spot with a refurbished one.
