Thanks in advance, all, for any advice here.
Just got an S5active (moving up from S3, just in time for S5 obsolescence...)
So far so good, except for one nag. The camera does not focus. Or at least - there is never a GREEN anything. Dot, square, whatever. It never turns green.
It appears to "focus" in that it's doing work to improve the shot - I can see it fade in and out of (not) focus - but in the end, after I take the pic, when I zoom in it is always blurry, sometimes extremely so.
I'm not expecting miracles, I realize it's a "phone" and not a "camera" - I am just asking if it should turn GREEN before shooting...anyone?
PS - before ya waste valuable worktime keystrokes - I tried various modes, image this that the other on and off, mp of all sizes, and NO, there is no plastic on my lens.
It simply never turns green.
WTF?
