Camera quality lost

[Kasi14]

I went for a bike trip with my friends to a hilly region. And there was heavy rain when we were travelling on the hills. After returning from the trip I found that my m8's has lost its quality. Now it is shooting very poor quality picture. Only the rear camera got the problem. What can I do now???

There are a few things that can cause problems. Smudges on the lense. The coating scratch issue (which can be remedied easily). But if you can upload a few examples of what you are getting that might help diagnose the problem.

I think they meant upload some of the pictures taken by the M8 to see what the quality issue is. If it's a settings issue, you can go into camera settings and click return to default. If it's a haze look, it's probably the lens coating issue. There's a million posts about that and how to easily fix it. Upload some photos so we can help.

I think it's the lens coating problem. It's easily fixed by using using rubbing alcohol (I think) and a micro fiber cloth. There is a very long thread explaining the problem and many ways to fix it. All involved using some from of liquid or cleaner and a cloth or Q Tip to clean off the coating. They all seem to work, but read the thread, starting around page 15 or so to see some of the tips. I would also go into settings and restore default settings.
