photo clarity issue

[Deltadon]

My photos up until recently were crystal clear and sharp instantly, but lately can take up to 5 seconds to focus.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum! Just for starters, which iOS is installed and did your issue above begin after an upgrade/update to the operating system and/or after the addition of new app(s)? Please respond to those questions and in the meantime, 'Reset' your device (see quote below, last item) and let us know if that helps. Good luck - Dave

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom’) - iOS 8.x/9.x - find the offending app - then press and drag to the top of the screen - return to the home screen & try again.

2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.

3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears (this may take longer); release the buttons and the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.
