I’ve had a FP2 for a couple of years now. I’ve enjoyed taking shots which have the subject close-up in the foreground, like an apple blossom and the background defocussed.
Since getting the new camera module, I really struggle to get it to focus on the foreground objects. It was hit and miss before but now it just won’t do it.
I’ve tried using OpenCamera as well.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Or does anyone have any tips?
Cheers.
Is your Fairphone OS up-to-date?
Yes, I just ran the lastest update. FP2-GMS-18.03.1
But this has been going on a while.
You could try this … voiding the warranty, mind …
Thanks I’ll give this a try.
And then I’ll try this! Thanks.
Hi, Does anyone have a direct comparison of the old vs new front facing camera? I’m considering upgrading for video calling. I had a look through this thread but couldn’t see anything. Many thanks.
I took a photo with my fairphone2 with the “old” camera module (in the evening, with the room light on); then I changed the camera module (quite easy following the instruction at https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003783546), and I try to make almoust the same photo with the new camera. I have Fairphone OS 18.04.1 and just used the std camera app. Hope you can get the two picture here:

Hope this helps
