Unable to focus camera; too blurry to scan codes

[bberberov]

I've used BinaryEye on a couple of devices. On a new tablet, I noticed that I was not able to scan codes. It looks like the camera is not able to focus, and the picture is too blurry to be recognized. This happens at all distances, both front and rear camera. I looked for configuration options in the app, but I didn't find any. Other camera and barcode apps appear to refocus the camera and work fine. I'm not sure what kind of diagnostic info is needed. Let me know what you need and I'll add it to this issue.

Hm, this sounds like the camera driver doesn't implement the legacy Camera API completely. Binary Eye is still using the legacy Camera API to continue support for older phones. Of course, this will change, and probably in the near future.

May I ask what device this exactly is?

Ahh, I've seen some apps having advanced settings referring to two different Camera APIs.

It is a Lenovo Tab M8 Gen 3. Product number looks to be TB-8506F. It's running Android 11.
