How To FIX Camera OPPO A80 Problems?

Solutions to fix OPPO A80 camera troubles. This is a 5G smartphone that works using a 6.67 inches IPS LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The OPPO A80 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset for multitasking and efficient performance. The first operating system used is Android 14 with ColorOS 14.

We can find a triple camera at the back of the device with a 50MP f/1.8 wide lens with PDAF, an 8MP f/2.4 depth sensor, and an 8MP f/2.0 ultrawide lens. However, some users may experience issues with the OPPO A80 camera. We will provide simple solutions to fix these camera problems.

Why is the OPPO A80 camera slow, unresponsive, or lagging?

Sometime, we often need to capture moments instantly, but there might be times when the camera app responds slowly. It’s important to remember that RAM is very important in running any app smoothly, including the camera. The OPPO A80 comes with 8GB of RAM, which is generally sufficient for everyday tasks.

However, if you have multiple apps open simultaneously, the available RAM might become insufficient to run the camera app efficiently. When RAM is insufficient, the phone may automatically close unused apps to free up memory and prevent the system from hanging or crashing. This process can cause a slight delay in camera performance as the OPPO A80 allocates resources.

To avoid this, close all unnecessary apps before launching the camera. If you’re planning to capture important events, consider rebooting or restarting your OPPO A80 to clear any background processes that might be consuming resources.

How to fix OPPO A80 camera autofocus problems or blurry images?

This phone has autofocus features. But some users find it hard to focus, and some get blurry photos. There are several possibilities that can make it hard to focus:

1. Try to clean the OPPO A80 camera lens. Why is this important? Because small dust particles in front of the camera will make the autofocus sensor keep focusing on that object. You must always make sure your camera lens is clean by regularly cleaning it with a soft cloth.
2. Check whether your OPPO A80 camera glass lens has any scratches. This situation is similar to the dust problem. The autofocus will keep focusing on that scratch and make it hard to focus on the real object. If you see a bigger scratch, we suggest replacing the camera glass lens with an original one at an Oppo authorized service center.
3. Some software or firmware versions may also cause the OPPO A80 camera autofocus to not work properly. Please try to update to the latest firmware or Android version.

Why is the OPPO A80 camera showing errors after an Android firmware upgrade?

Try resetting the camera app to its factory default settings. If the problem persists, back up all data and perform a hard reset to restore OPPO A80 to its factory default state.
