Welcome to Android Central! Which device? Is this all when you're using the front-facing camera? Many devices have a fixed-focus lens for the front-facing camera, so there's no autofocus involved.

The auto-focus systems on most cameras like to focus on what is in the center of the screen.
They also prefer straight lines and high contrast patterns.

Try tapping on the screen where you want the focus to be.

Which device?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?
Which app is controlling the camera?
