S22 Ultra Camera Blurry Out the Box

Camera is having issues with focus. It only happens sometimes. Anyone else having this issue? No film covering the lens. Tried different settings.

No issues with my wife's S22 or my S22 Ultra

Is the issue in all different shooting modes ? If yes, I'd strongly consider exchanging it

[userN3NshLzPCK]

Appreciate the feedback. Yes all different shooting modes. Not all the time but definitely not normal that it keeps doing it.

ouch !!

And when you tap the screen to focus, does it focus, or stay out of focus ?

[userN3NshLzPCK]

When you tap the screen it only will focus for half a sec and go blurry again. The camera was working earlier. Now back to blurry

Mine won't let me zoom, I press the 10x zoom and the camera freezes v with an error message

I can definitely understand how frustrating this may be. These articles contain several troubleshooting steps you can try, including testing the camera in Safe Mode.

If these steps do not work, you can also try a factory reset. Perform a factory reset on your Galaxy phone 

And don't forget to check to make sure there is no film over the camera. This sometimes gets missed. If this does not help, I recommend letting a service technician have a look. You can use the following link to find a list of service centers in the U.S. that can do the repair: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/location or by calling customer support at 1-800-726-7864.
