My camera doesn't focus any more. Is that a known issue and is there a fix for this? If not, can I take it to be fixed? I had this phone for less than a year.

Currently there is no officially supported method of disabling the digital zoom feature. One way around it that I use when I (rarely) need to focus on the lower screen portion, is to focus on the subject, then move the camera's view to the preferred state. The camera will preserve this focus state long enough for a picture.
You could clean the lens of your iPhone internally and see what that black object is that blocks the clear view. I've done this when some dust or tiny particles slip into the iPhone...
It's very easy and you won't do any harm with it, if you follow the instructions carefully!
- Open up your iPhone according to the tutorial on iFixit
- Use a slightly moistened ear-swab to clean up your iPhone lens
- To reassemble your iPhone, just follow the steps on iFixit in reverse order.
If you find a piece has slipped, once correcting that, you can also clear out all dust from your lens and it can solve your issue.

Since the phone is less than a year old, it will be covered by the default AppleCare warranty. I suggest contacting Apple, and they will probably just replace the phone outright.
