Acer Liquid Focus?


Recommended Posts

Any one encountered any issue with the Acer Liquid Camera Focus?

Mine don't focus at all (Even when the focus indicator turn green)!

My old Samsung with 1mega pixel camera has much better focus!

Any one with the same problem?

Can any one please try to focus on an image. I'm getting to think that mine is faulty! If so, I have to return it back. (CLOVE)

This photo was taken with the focus indicator turn to green

mine has trouble focussing on close up things (like barcodes for instance, but does manage it eventually).

Works fine on people etc. Try that and see what happens, but i'm guessing it might be faulty :)

Yess even mine works fine on non focusing photos, but when dealing with focus, it don't worth nothing :s

I have an old Samsung with a 1mp camera and focus better than this one :s

With a bit of work, i can get it to focus on 4mm high text when approx 10cm away from the text.

Often the camera gets stuck in a "focussing loop" where it does the same thing every time you try and focus. If you stop trying to get it to focus for a little bit, move it away from the object slightly and try again, often you can then get a green focus.

Its odd that you say that its not in focus even when the indicator turns green. I haven't seen that. In fact just playing with it now i got it in focus once when the square was red!

This is a photo just taken. I managed to get it "focused" (Greed focus light on).

This is the Result.

Can you please upload a similar picture so I could compare.

Thanks & Regards

It might be a very dumb question to ask but some french guys on french forum made this mistake...

Did you properly remove the lens transparent cover from the lens ?

I think you did but just in case you should check...

Here is mine. Its somewhere in between.

I'm on 1.002.005 EMEA GEN1. What are you on?

From the look of your picture, you are way too close though. Try backing off so that the entire width of the display picture takes up half the camera frame.

I remember Liquid can only focus on 15cm~infinite

I'm running Acer_liquid_1.002.05_EMEA_GEN1

Same as yours, so it shouldn't be a software related problem.

Could it be a Hardware fault?

I contacted Clove, with the reply that the Technical Department will be back from holidays on 4th Jan.

What could be the problem? Hardware or software?

Did you remove the plastic film from the camera? :-p

Yes, that's what I wanted to tell.

Your Liquid might be damaged. I got a few excellent shots off my Liquid.
