weird as it may sound, this IS the same bug. its caused by the camera refusing to focus.
here is my almost-workaround:
- use advanced-camera
- select ‘manual focus’
- modify advanced-camera to only focus if you long-press
Camera refuses to take picture on 10 III (focus hangs) - #12 by teleshoes - when you open the camera, you can immediately snap a pic with default focus
- point the camera at something the same distance away but NOT MOVING. long-press for focus, wait for green circle, then move the camera back to the moving target and snap away.
- put the phone back in your pocket with the screen still on, so you can take more photos without having to refocus
- buy a new phone with android and have a working fricken camera, because jolla’s approach to having a working camera is “our amazing community” will “develop a solution” (i am about 70% joking, but i am actually fairly annoyed at how bad the camera still is, two releases in)
