Nokia N8 - Auto Focus

Hi,
I've just factory reset my Nokia N8. When I press the camera button and take a quick picture (everything default) the image is relatively blurred (less than 1 meter). I have had SE Vivaz earlier this year and autofocus worked perfect. Autofocus worked even on the phone display! On N8 you needed to press a button. Does Nokia N8 has a similar function and how do you turn it on?
I am so far not satisfied with autofocus on the phone: (
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Lumia 1020 auto focus in video when used in apps.....

Hi. If I want to take a video clip up close using the Nokia Lumia 1020 on WhatsApp or Skype, the auto focus just will not fire. It stays zoomed out, and is only useful for taking clips really far away. This is incredibly frustrating given that I bought this phone for the camera.
Is this a bug in the phone? or is my phone broken?
Auto focus only works when using the actual camera app. Skype and WhatsApp seem to ignore the "auto focus" setting that I've turned on in the default camera app and the Nokia Camera app...
Really disappointed.
Jez

not sure as i haven't used those apps myslef, but for example, if you use Vine, there is a setting in there that allows you to lock the focus. it appears to me that auto-focus isn't automatically enabled / enabled at all in certain apps. you will need to contact the developers of the apps themselves for further feedback, as this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services.

Autoanswer and Auto Focus

Is this possible when using the WindowsPhone app?
Can full time auto focus be enabled when a Skype call is established?
I'm using a Nokia Lumia 520

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Regarding auto-answer: This is not possible yet. How would you see this being used in everyday use of a mobile app? Usually users would have the phone in their pocket or a bag. Maybe you share a scenario where it would be useful?
Autofocus: Are you referring to video calls? The camera should also have autofocus working. If that is not the case for you: Which Windows Phone model are you using?

808 PureView - noise from auto-focus mechanism dur...

Hi,
Just bought an 808 PureView, and have noticed a very audible noise from the auto-focus during video recording.
Is this normal?
I don't want to send it back if it is a "design feature", as I'm loving everything else about it!
Thanks!
Solved!

Thats totally normal. I've seen on my 808 too while shooting in complete silent environment.

Auto focus with video recording

Should auto focus work while taking a video on n93?Message Edited by paulcupboard1 on 24-Apr-200703:00 PM

N93 (52.01)

Why doesn't lumia 920 have camera zoom in and zoom out feature while recording a video. This is a basic requirement of a video function. All the previous nokia phones had this but not Lumia 920 which is suppose to be the best phone ever by Nokia. Why have they taken of the zoom facility off through the volume control key instead of touching the screen in the middle and covering the part of the display by hand. I think Nokia should look into this very seriously as camera function is one of their Unique Selling Proposition in the market.

N96 Camera Auto Focus

Hi,
When using the Close-Up Scene mode focusing of something, found that the Auto Focus feature can't find out the best focus level, the level is obviously down.
If the total level is 10 , then the actual level is: Actual Level = Best Level - 3
is there a way to let us set the focus level manually ?
Thanks.

nobody from nokia will respond on here this is a user forum. Also your question was a little difficult to understand. I have the n96 and my auto focus works fine. Is it possible it could be your FW what version are you running?
I dont pretend to know everything like some people on these boards i am just trying to help. Its not all about the kudos.

Supernova 7610 (auto-focus)

Hello
i want to ask what exatly the function (auto focus) in the supernova 7610 , i know its a rectangular move with the face while u taking a picture but its not same in the S7610 its only a rect shown in the midel of the screen .
second , what exatly the auto focus button do ?, when i press on it , its focus on something without taking the pic
from the end , i feel that i cant use the auto focus the right way .... any help

Well, you light press focus when you want to focus something, after the retangle becomes green you push it deeply to take picture itself. The auto focus is to focus the object in the retangle, if you do not do it it will take picture as infinitive (good for thing far from the cam), for closer object you better do this.
I hope it helps.
By the way, don't upgrade firmware using NUS(Nokia Updater Software) it has a bug and the A2DP works badly. Better version still V04.82.
Cheers.

How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes?

How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes? Sometimes as a page is loading, I scroll down the page...only to have the page jump back to where there is a text box, with a blinking cursor, after the page is finished loading. It is an annoying feature and I want to turn it off.

Some pages use an onload event to set the focus to a text area or search field.
You can try NoScript to see if that blocks it.

[SOLVED:] SLIM not reading slim.conf (no password auto-focus)

Yesterday I began having issues with SLIM. I'm not sure if they're related, but while running Puppy , I inadvertently deleted the desktop icon for my Arch home directory on /dev/sda8. I rebooted Puppy and it reappeared. After running Puppy, something went wrong with my clocks (system and hardware) and the times were all wrong. I fixed that with NTPD. I currently dual boot Arch and Windows 7 from the hard drive, and occasionally from a USB stick, Puppy Linux. I'm using an ASUS K50IJ laptop. I run Xfce4. I do not have any disk encryption enabled.
When I boot up, the SLIM login appears as normal, but rather than password auto-focus, I'm prompted for a username. If I enter the username and hit return, I'm still staring at the username prompt. After three or four iterations of entering a username + enter, I finally get a password prompt and can log in.
I have tried:
1. Reinstalling archlinux-themes-slim
2. Uninstalling archlinux-themes-slim and slim, then reinstalling slim
3. Removing old Xfce4 & Xfwm sessions
4. Removing slim.conf and entering a pristine version.
5. Reviewing /var/log/slim.log files for oddities. I found one:
Before the trouble started, I the message in the log was:

I solved this - slim was not the last daemon I started in rc.conf. By moving it to the end, I get password auto-focus and everything works.
Now my rc.conf looks like
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus acpid @network @wicd @openntpd @cupsd @crond slim)
I found this recommendation in the Display Manager wiki page while researching the problem:
Ensure you start the display manager last in the DAEMONS array, otherwise X will later allocate a tty device which was previously claimed by Getty (see /etc/inittab). Not placing the display manager at the end can cause X crashes, and is therefore unsupported.
I'd just been lucky before that there wasn't a conflict.
There is a "flicker" during login where I'm shown the XFCE splash, then the SLIM splash again, then the XFCE desktop. Not sure what's going on there, but it's no big deal.
Cheers,
Rob

Auto focus on my 2 year old T3i has stopped working, any suggestions.

auto focus has stopped working. camera is almost 2 years old. I can take pictures at normal distance but if I try to take a picture that requires zoom it will not work and all my pictures are fuzzy.

Check the lens and make sure the "AF/MF" switch is in the "AF" position (Auto-focus is on).
Do you own other lenses and does this happen with them?
Are other functions of the lens working? e.g. if you change the f-stop does it affect the exposure (showing that the camera is communicating witht the lens to control the blades.)
Make sure the contacts on the body and lens are clean. Clean them only with a non-abbrassive cloth (e.g. don't use a "pencil eraser" for example) because the gold plating on the contacts is thin and can be worn off if you use an abbrassive cleaner.
Eject the battery from the camera... wait several minutes, then re-insert (this basically "reboots" the firmware. Turning off the power switch doesn't "technically" shut it down... it puts it into a kind of "sleep" state. But removing the batteries, allowing any capacitors with stored power to self-discharge, then re-inserting the batteries will cause the camera to boot fresh and this will sometimes clear up problems.
It's also possible that there's a problem with the auto-focus mechanism in the lens itself and the lens would need service to repair it, but you may as well rule out other things before you resort to sending it in.

Auto focus in Safari Yosemite does not work on new tab.

Creating a new tab in Safari does not auto focus the address bar. I need to Cmd-L to activate the address bar. This is annoying because I usually create a new tab to enter a search. Is this a bug or working as intended?

OK! I've found the error by myself. The XML file I am trying to update is not schema valid. Infact I've registered the schema with this call:
begin
dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema(
'PurchaseOrder.xsd',
getdocument('PurchaseOrder.xsd'),
TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE
end;
So the first three lines of the XML file must be:
<PurchaseOrder
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PurchaseOrder.xsd">
and not
<PurchaseOrder
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="HTTP://localhost/sys/schemas/REF5/PurchaseOrder.xsd">
I think it is better not to register the schema with relative URL...
Bye!

N95 - Does your camera clicks when auto focus (half-pressed)?
When i press the camera button half way through it makes a noticeable "click" noise after locking on an object.
It doesn't make the clicking noise when i press the camera button one time without manually auto focus.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yep, exactly that.
Green - Focus lock acheived - OK to take picture and it should come out in focus.
Red - No Focus lock - will still take a shot if you fully press shutter button though.Message Edited by luckieb on 27-Apr-200708:37 PM
