anyone else seeing camera freeze ups?

[DamianP]

There is a bunch of posts on Reddit about this with the Note 9. I've started to see this on mine now in both camera and video mode typically under low light. Using internal memory not an SD card.

I've seen all the reddit chatter too but it hasn't happened to me.

I think maybe once or twice.

From Samsung’s Note 9 community site it’s one of the top threads right now...

I've seen all the reddit chatter too but it hasn't happened to me.

I'm having the issue. It's very intermittent and seems a reboot or clear cache help, but only for a short while. I hope we see an update to solve this soon.

I get it on my S9 and it's extremely frustrating

having the same issue and really dreading doing a reset to clear it up

 

[tomcat777]

I have the issue. I did a reset and it didn't fix the problem.

Thanks for the heads up

Here is a good example of the lag.

Yes. Happens occasionally for both picture and video. I can hear the lens aperture mechanism working sometimes.

 

[naturalguy]

This is a real problem, hopefully they can fix it with an update

Why is tracking AF turned on while he's taking a picture of food? How fast is his food moving that he needs to have this turned on?

Why is tracking AF turned on while he's taking a picture of food?

Perhaps to demonstrate the problem.

How fast is his food moving that he needs to have this turned on?

Tracking AF is useful if you shift the camera, even if your subject is stationary.

I've had my phone since release date but have just now started encountering the camera-freeze problem, so far only in the Google Drive app when scanning a document. SM-N960U1, Sony camera module (per the AIDA64 app).
