Anyone else having problems taking pictures in front of Christmas trees in medium to low-light conditions where the iPhone 5S is having trouble focusing? I've never had it this bad before with any previous iPhones....very frustrating.
Got a tip for us?

Christmas Light Picture Issue iPhone 5S

Same problem here! Went to a concert yesterday and one of the band's lighting setup was made only of candles (kinda like a christmas tree from a distance). From the distance, with any other iphone this scene would have been easily focusable, but it was absolutely impossible to focus the 5S. It was almost as if it was not responding at all.
Other bands had more traditionnal lighting and there were no problems.

I might have to go buy a regular digital camera....the horror
Before that, have you folks tried other camera apps besides the built-in?
Any samples? (blur/block out your faces in need be). Also, have you tried other cameras on the same scene?
I would like to see a sample also. What is the ambient lighting like? I tried this with dark ambient lighting and the tree focused OK. Definitely doesn't look like an 8 Mega Pixel photo. More like 3
