Look in the camera setting for focus. Auto focus might be turned off. Try taping the screen. That should focus the camera. If nothing works, just wait for samsung to update lollipop. I have worse. No camera flash.

now for a moment i use a alternativ app (Camera FV-5). When i tap in the stock camera the circle is white no green or red how that would need to be.The autofocus is off.

That's why you don't buy Samsung phones. Never had a software issue with my LG L70.

No, my s5 doesn't focus. The image is absolutely blurry since the camera begins.

I have a galaxy note 4 and have the same problem now that I've updated. All these people saying tap the screen. I tap the screen it gets clear and then blears out again. I have to completely come out of the app start recording again and pray. I updated over a week ago and now this problem randomly comes.

Also just updated to Lollipop, through Samsung Kies no less. I did root the device, like before with KitKat. No focus at all, except at Macro distances. Seems the camera is stuck on a "macro" setting. No camera app works to focus, and I am searching for one dependable manual focus as a workaround. Any suggestions (FV 5 manual focus did not work, I tried it). Really bad problem.
