Samsung a5 camera blurry with any motion

    Hi, does anyone know how to fix this issue? If my phone, or the person I'm taking a picture of, moves even slightly, the image is blurry. This even includes stationary selfies, because just pressing the button at the side causes the phone to move a little and hence the image blurs. I have two kids and they are never totally still, so every picture I take of them is blurry too.

    I tried to Google it, without success.

    Any suggestions are much appreciated!

    OIS, if it had it in the first place, may have failed.

    Hi, thanks for your reply. What is OIS?

    optical image stabilisation

    it means hardware-based stabilisation as opposed to that done by software

    Do you have the A5 (2014) or the A5 2017?

    I think it's a case of the A5 having a poor camera.
    Perhaps you should keep an eye on bargain alerts section for a discounted S8 or S9 which would have far superior cameras.
