I took another picture today when I got off of work since it was bright and sunny out I decided to take another picture of my truck. Now this is with the stock camera and I never tapped the screen to zoom in. What I did was I basically held down on the shutter button for a few seconds then took my finger off of it and the phone did the rest by focusing and taking the picture. I find this method a lot better and my pictures turn out a lot sharper. Hope this helps. I have a love/hate relationship with this phone but hopefully as the days go on I'll enjoy the phone more and the signal, speaker, and camera bugs will be fixed.
