iPhone 12 Camera Zoom Issue

Hi folks!

My iPhone 12 has developed an issue with its zoom on the camera. If I open the camera as normal, the picture is very, very blurred at 1x. If I click 0.5x, it’s clear but obviously very distant from the subject of the photo. If I zoom in manually, it gets to 0.9x no problem but then goes blurry when it gets to 1.0x.

I don’t have a phone case, I have tried to clean the lens numerous times in and restarted multiple times. It’s definitely a software rather than a hardware issue.

any ideas guys?
