Why does my camera takes several minutes to come into focus?

[AC Question]

My camera on my Galaxy Note 4 takes forever to come into focus. The protective plastic sheet was removed when I purchased it. I've owned since February 2015 and it's been doing this since about June. I'm a Realtor and take a lot of pictures so I need this camera to work. The front camera for selfies works fine.

It sounds like it may be damaged. I would suggest either taking it to a repair shop or possibly using an insurance claim on it.

You could try clearing out the cache on the camera app or a factory reset to rule out a software issue.
