In addition to having up-to-date system updates such as security patches, we must check by entering the Google application store , that all our apps are updated to the latest version. It can be relevant to the result and treatment of our camera directly or when using the camera in other apps.

Use the Samsung camera app

Although we can use the camera of our Samsung Galaxy mobile with any application or social network, we will always obtain the best results using the system’s own app . The own application is adapted to the needs of the device, achieving maximum detail with much better results that are obvious.

Cleaning is our great ally

In many cases the problems are nothing more than the fault of the dirt that accumulates in the lens, the same can happen when our mobile phone takes blurred photos or does not focus. With a microfiber cloth we can clean the lens without damaging it, even applying a wipe that is used to clean the glasses. We must remember that it is a crystal and therefore we must take great care of it.

Reset your Samsung Galaxy camera

When we find recurring problems or forced closings and nothing that we have previously tried has worked, we have to try to return the camera of our Samsung phone to the original state. To do this, we have to open the camera and go to its settings, to go to the end of everything and you will find the option of “Reset settings”, which will allow us to solve most problems.
