As our mobiles increase the number of sensors, it becomes more likely to have a functioning problem. Today we are going to take a look at the Huawei P30 Lite and the possible problems that may arise with its front camera. In some cases the solution is within reach, but in others it may involve replacing the front sensor in the Technical Service on duty.
There are many factors that can influence the malfunction of the front camera of the Huawei P30 Lite. Among these variables, is our own misuse, a mismatch of the lens or the breakage of the sensor itself, which must be replaced by a new one.
Diagnosis with HiCare
This application is pre-installed on the Huawei P30 Lite, and allows you to make a diagnosis of the system and several sensitive hardware elements to find the problem. In case of detecting an anomaly with any camera, the tool will indicate it and suggest solutions in this regard. In addition, with this application we can do many other things.
Some recent app
There are few apps that can interfere with the correct operation of the camera of our P30 Lite. If we have recently installed an app, there may be some kind of incompatibility that is causing the error . We must try to uninstall this app to see if the problem is solved.
Bad Selfies
Huawei recommends that the distance to take selfies be 25 to 55 cm , even when using a selfie stick. However, and as a reference, the length of an arm is the most appropriate distance. If the image is blurred, the available bokeh effect in Portrait mode may be activated. In that case we must verify if this mode is activated, and deactivate it if it is.
Does not focus in low light
When you are focusing the camera, you determine the distance of the photographed subject by analyzing the respective details and contours. In places with dim light, the camera takes longer to perform these calculations, so the focus speed is affected. For this reason, in some cases, it may not even be possible to focus properly.
In these cases it is recommended to take photos in places with good lighting, but if it is not possible, you should try to focus several times and click on an area with high color contrast to perform the manual focus.
After a fall
One of the most common reasons for the frontal camera malfunction occurs after a fall or blow that has affected the front notch. In that case it is very possible that the camera application does not open, focus blurry or directly show in black. It is also likely that the colors are not displayed correctly, and that it is impossible to make video calls.
These cases are enough symptoms to go to a specialized technician to check our sensor. It may be a simple mismatch, but it is also likely that the sensor needs to be changed. If we are facing the second case, the price of the replacement of the front camera could be around 70 euros . The mere adjustment of the lens is cheaper and its price could be around 30 euros.
Other Cases
There are other reasons, which may lead us to think that there is a problem with the front camera, but that they can also have a simple solution:
Blurred camera
It usually occurs in work environments where dust and dirt abounds or with the simple passage of time. In this case we must clean the lens with a liquid and a soft cloth. The liquid used to clean the glasses is an example.
Motion Blurred Photo
We may not give the front camera time to focus, which exposure usually takes a while and this also depends on ambient light conditions. It is recommended to press the shutter several times and keep in the most stable position possible.
