Clean Your Camera Lens:

• A dirty lens is a common culprit for blurry photos. Dust, fingerprints, or smudges can distort your images. Use a fresh microfiber cloth designed for eyeglasses or camera lenses to gently clean the lens¹.

Use the Correct Mode:

• Ensure you’re using the appropriate shooting mode. For example, if you’re capturing fast-moving subjects, switch to “Sports” mode to prevent motion blur.

Clean Your Screen:

• Sometimes, the screen itself can be smudged or dusty. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth to improve clarity.

Remove Protective Film or Screen Protector:

• If your camera has a protective film or screen protector, check if it’s affecting image quality. Remove it if necessary.

Take Off Your Phone Case:

• Thick phone cases can interfere with the camera’s focus. Try taking off the case and see if it improves the sharpness.

Tap for Focus:

• Most smartphones allow you to tap on the screen to focus on a specific area. Make sure you’re tapping on the subject you want to be in focus.

Check for Lens Condensation:

• If you’ve moved from a cold environment to a warm one, condensation can form on the lens. Wipe it gently with a cloth.

Switch to a Different Camera:

• Some phones have multiple cameras (wide-angle, telephoto, etc.). Switch between them to see if one produces clearer images.

Explore Manual Mode:

• Manual mode gives you more control over settings like focus, aperture, and shutter speed. Experiment with it.

Try a Third-Party Camera App:

• Sometimes, third-party apps offer better features and settings than the default camera app.

Force Close the App or Restart Your Phone:

• Glitches can cause blurriness. Close the camera app completely or restart your phone.

Check for Camera App Updates:

• Software updates often include improvements for camera performance.

Gently Slap Your Phone Against Your Palm:

• This might sound odd, but sometimes a gentle slap can dislodge any loose components affecting the camera.

Restart Your Device:

• A simple restart can resolve many issues, including camera blurriness.

Seek Professional Assessment:

• If none of the above works, consider having a professional examine your camera.
