Camera Fix and it works

**cereal killer** · 11-16-2009, 10:50 PM

This works and sounds crazy.

I just read that if you clean the camera lens really good with a soft cloth you will get the green focus.

I'll give anything a try so I did it. My camera now focus's all the time. Green focus on all my shots.

Supposedly there is a little bit of oily film over the lens and when wiped clean it fixes the issue.

give it a shot and report here. I can tell you it worked lol...

4 shots, all green....

Ummmm. . . wow.

That seems to have actually worked. lol

NICE! I'm scanning barcodes right and left, and have a bunch of pics of my messy office to prove it.

Don't ask why I'm at work at 10:03pm. Just accept it for what it is. ;-)

my camera has never been TOO bad.. but i would get the occasional red corners... so i tried wiping the camera lense with my t-shirt and. 10-10 green corners.. haha.. cant believe this worked!

Haha, I think it's a coincidence. They must've updated silently, because my camera works great now, and before it never did. Doesn't matter if it's clean or not.

I LOVE YOU! I thought I did this already, but when i added alittle water to the equation to wipe away anything possibly on it, it F'ing worked. WOW! You win my vote.

My friend just tried Barcode Scanner and autofocus works perfectly now. I noticed the camera working before out of nowhere too. Not to say a clean lens isn't better, but they must've done something.
