It has been said that all Droids click when starting the camera, but the autofocus issue is related to a software bug.
At least to videos have shown that there is a hardware issue on some as well. I know they click once, but the hardware issue ones repeatedly click. There is a post in howardforums on this. They say moto said that some phones had the camera installed incorrectly. They also are aware if the software issue. I would definately check your droids camera before leaving the store.Quote:

No camera clicking here. But the camera sucks as much as the reviews say they do. If you have a still subject then you are okay. However, if you want to capture your kid doing something for the first time forget it. Takes too long for the thing to get going and focus.
I asked the Verizon guy to check it and he looked at me funny. I didn't hear clicking in the store but it was loud.
Im glad the camera focus issues can be address with firmware updates. At least i hope so. But at the same time I have a 1300.00 Sony HD Handycam for stills and video so as long as I can take ok pics and video on the phone, im good.
This I agree with. It is fine for basic still picts, but not so good with anything else. I was just happy to not have any crazy clicking.Quote:

As to the action shots, go into the menu on the camera and the bottom option is focus method, select infinity...then it doesnt focus, just shoots.
I hear either 3 or 4 "beeps" when I start my camera application. Is this the hardware issue that has bene reported or is this simply a software issue that will be fixed with an update?
Focus thing is a definite big issue, its RED far more then green.
