All three shots were taken in the normal camera mode, and as much as I would not like it to have focus at 1X, it simply doesn’t exist and it all started after the last update, and it was almost a month ago.
I reseted the camera settings and it did not help, when I searched I realized that many people have this problem, It was at the beginning of sales of this device and now.
I for the first time decided to buy a Samsung, and got this, then there is no desire to buy more time phone from them.

Hey, Welcome to Samsung Members!

We recommend following these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Check for software updates > Download and install.

2. Go to the Galaxy Store app > Menu > Updates > Update All

3. Go to the Play Store > Tap your Google Account ID at the top > Manage apps and device > Update all.

4. Go to Settings > Apps > Camera > Tap Camera settings > Reset settings > Reset.

5. Go to Settings > Apps > Camera > Tap Storage> Clear Cache & Clear Data.

If the phenomenon continues we will be happy to receive another inquiry together with a fresh system log right after the phenomenon occurs and an accurate description of the case so we can assist.

To attach a system log go to Samsung Members > 'Get Help' > select the "Error Reports" category > select the appropriate topic and then describe the phenomenon in detail, at the bottom of the page and make sure that sending the system log is marked V.

I would also recommend attaching a screenshot shows the phenomenon so that we can help.

I've already checked that was the latest version of the software, and also clear the cache and reset the camera.

Did you try to shake the device for a second and then immidietly take the picture ? Try it and report.

Unfortunetly you are not the first with this issue. It's almost always fixed with replacement of the camera module 😞
The easy check is exactly what I said. Shake the device to get the lens unstuck then take picture. If focus suddenly works, you have a stuck lens problem. Unfortunetly it's fixed only with hardware replacement. But of course, get it checked by a specialist to make sure it's this problem. Sorry mate.
