In most cases, the blurred picture is due to the out-of-focus camera. The factors that affect the focus blur are complex, please confirm whether there are any of the following scenarios:
1. The camera lens is dirty, dusty or blocked
The surface of the camera lens is sticky and dirty, which will cause blurring when shooting. Please wipe the camera protection lens with a clean glasses cloth to ensure it is clean. Secondly, the protective film, third-party protective cover, or other obstructions may interfere with the work of the camera, please remove it and try again to see if the picture is clear.
2. Lack of light
In dusk, night, or dark light environment, due to the lack of light, the camera will longer shutter speed to get more light. If the phone shakes slightly, the picture will be blurred. Please try to keep it stable and not shake when shooting handheld. Besides, you can use external devices to fix the phone, such as a tripod, Bluetooth remote control, etc. realme Selfie Tripod can provide you with a stable photo experience.
3. Shooting with other special modes
Portrait mode automatically blurs the background, which is normal in this shooting mode. You can click the icon in the bottom left corner to adjust the blur effect according to the actual situation. In addition, the image effect is good when the person is about 2 meters away from the phone and the image is located in the center of the viewfinder frame.
In the ultra-macro mode, due to the slow shutter speed, the slight movement of the phone will cause a large displacement of the screen, resulting in blurred photos. It is recommended that you keep your phone steady during shooting. When using, please keep the distance between the phone and the subject at about 4 cm.
In the night or dark environment, the exposure time of the camera is longer when using the Night mode. It is recommended that you try to keep the camera steady and not shake when shooting by hand. Or you can switch to Pro mode and manually adjust the sensitivity (ISO) and shutter speed (S) in night scene mode. It is recommended that you shoot night scenes in a good light source environment (such as outdoor starlight, moonlight, street lights, etc.).
4. Check whether the focus function of the phone camera is normal
Please do the following to ensure that the camera's focusing function is normal: open the Camera > More > Pro, and then face the camera to the subject, adjust the shooting distance (about 0.5m for wide-angle or 1x, and more than 2m for telephoto), select MF (manual focus), drag the slider back and forth left and right and observe the preview interface.
If the preview changes from clear to blurred and from blurred to clear, it means that the camera's focusing function is normal.
If the preview interface keeps blurry, it may be that your phone's focusing function is abnormal. It is recommended that you back up important data in advance and go to the nearby realme Customer Service Center with your purchase certificate for testing.
Solution: When taking a photo, tap the screen with your finger to focus manually. Do not click the shutter button before the focus frame disappears, this indicates that the camera has not finished focusing. Let the camera autofocus when shooting video and avoid manual focus. If you manually focus while recording video, the camera will lock focus and may need to manually focus the camera again if you move the phone.
5. More relevant suggestions
Try to use the default zoom factor
When taking pictures with high zoom, the phone will switch to digital zoom and the camera will be more sensitive to the slightest movement. Therefore, the image may appear blurry. It is recommended that you reduce the zoom factor or use the default zoom factor when shooting objects at close range.
Keep your phone steady while shooting
If your subject is moving quickly or if the phone is constantly moving during the shot, the camera will not focus properly and the photo or video may be blurry. It is recommended that you keep your phone steady during shooting and use a tripod if necessary.
Make sure to shoot at a reasonable distance
Due to the shallow depth of field, some phone cameras may not focus properly when taking close-up photos. When using telephoto, please keep the distance between the phone and the subject at least 2 meters.
