Blurry camera

[noob25002]

Samsung A30, updated.
The wide camera on the back (not the ultrawide) is blurry, except for when taking a picture around 10cm/4" from the object.
Other cameras focus fine. It was working fine until recently, not sure what changed.

Whenever I move the shot the camera tries to refocus, but it's blurry.

I've tried all the solutions I found online, including clearing cache, resetting camera, safe mode, tapping it, cleaning, etc.

What else should I try?

The only thing I haven't tried is a factory reset, which I don't want to do right now.

Maybe try a different camera app. That might let you know if it's a hardware or software problem.

Did that, same issue.

So it must be a hardware issue.

Out of warranty, how much would it cost to repair?

I wouldn't say it *must* be a hardware issue, but it favors that cause imo. If it's out of warranty, it would probably cost more to fix than the phone's worth, but I don't really know.

just try restarting the phone or check for some updates as well. i had faced a similar thing and got it resolved after restarting. sometimes the most stupid idea works.
