S20 Ultra camera can't focus on 1x

[TrixBW]

I'm not sure which update this started with but my S20 Ultra no longer has good focus when on 1x, it's actually better on 0.5x which hasn't been the case since I first used the phone, what could be wrong?

Any tips on what I can do?

Thanks Dave but I definitely tried that.
However, there seems to be a difference since reseting the camera settings, will test it out in some daylight and see how well that worked.

I don't know if you're aware but there was a focus issue with the S20 Ultra model that was made aware a few months after the phone dropped. I'm not sure if Samsung fixed it but that was the reason they brought back the IR sensor in the S21 Ultra. This could be the issue which is nothing much you can do.

Then I'd be doomed and probably have to get a new device...where do you guys get all this info?

Maybe waiting for the S23 Ultra would be best...

When you're a tech enthusiast, you find this info on your Google feed. Plus I also watch a lot of phone reviews so you hear a lot of different perspectives and issues.

I thought I was but clearly missed this..Will sure dive in deeper going forward!
Apart from waiting for the S23, what phone would you recommend in the interim¿
