Based on your past issue

it might be a hardware issue, also check if there are any scratches on the lens.

Perhaps you didn't noticed before and/or the scratch got worse.

I've been having the same issue since last tuesday (19/01/2016) - the camera focus's on close up pic's but not anything else. it's very blurry and frustrating.

1. 1st image - close up - clear and in focus

2. 2nd image - a bit further - all blurry

Exactly, it can't focus on far away objects for obvious reasons, the scratched camera lens. There's no other way around, either, contact your Local support or you can repair it yourself but will void the warranty.

i find it very strange that the scratches only started making such a big difference in one day. like i said - there was absolutely no problem on Monday last week - Tuesday - blurry.

There was a software update. its just odd.

@Toppiesevrou

There's nothing else that we can suggest here, this is a hardware issue, and again, perhaps you just noticed the scratches or the scratches got worse. Contact your Local support

@Shuvocasanova

You have a hardware issue that has to be addressed by your Local support, downgrading the phone won't fix this.

I know this is a very old thread, but Sony did have software problems back in 2016. Back then I had a Xperia Z3+, and it had problems focusing. I had it repaired by my local repair center, and they got it working again. It stopped working the next day, so I tried factory resetting the phone. Viola, the camera was working, but it lasted only a few hours. I probably factory resetted that thing five times, just to get the camera working. I then dropped the phone and broke the digitizer, rendering the phone useless, but that's besides the point.
