I heard that the camera on this phone sucks. I wasn't aware of this. Is there some kind of setting needed to straighten out my problem. Each time I press the camera bitton on the side or tap the CAMERA icon the screen turns green and very grainy. Waht have I done wrong?
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Guys,
Twice now, when I went to use the camera the display was distored as though I had applied effects or incorrect gamma settings. This fixes itself when left alone but this is unrealiable.
Has anyone else had this issue? and if so is there a fix or is this a warranty issue?
Many thanks
Howard
Camera picture distortion
Only for a few seconds- or maybe just a second or so, it apperears as if the camera software is a bit slow adjusting gain when the application first loads.

I wish, unfortunately, this lasts for days. Everytime I use the camera app it's the same.
Do you know of a way to completly reinitialise the camera?

Hard reset your device by pushing on/off button (top left) and pinching the softreset at the same time
Well I just got my JasJar and when I press the camera the app comes up and then nothing but a black screen. Is there any software update out there? The camera that is on the screen works but not the one on the back.
Jr...
I believe that you able to do an exchange...most probably your camera hardware is faulty.
having the same problem with camera. Screeen is black but video cam still works
.. any suggestions?
dont point it to the ground? ensure you are in a vary bright place! make sure you dont have the cover over it!!! adjust the settings by clicking on the tools on the bottom right and adjust ambience and settings, really get creative and perform your own manual adjustments. switch the flash on?
the camera is **** and dark, so dont expect miracles.
alternatively, send it back. it should work.
Do what Simon suggested but if that doesn't help, change the settings in Camera to Auto incase its on something else. You mentioned that video cam works but camera mode doesn't. What about the other modes like Burst, Sport etc etc?
If nothing helps, try a soft-reset. If that doesn't help, try a hard-reset. If that too doesn't help, then a ROM re-install is in order. Now, if that too doesn't help, then i'm sorry but you will need to send it to the service centre.

Sounds like you may have a connection problem or may need a hard reset. There is a known issue with some where you get a blank image on the highest setting of 2mega pixels superfine. If you set yours to a lower setting and still have problems then we can rule that issue out.
You can also try downloading some of the Ateksoft coolcamera software to test the camera using alternative software.

hi
switch from super fine to fine quality.......then soft reset....let us know..
bye
hey batmar333
i switched from super fine to fine and it seems like its working....hows the camera picture quality difference between the 2? i see most fine quality pictures are about 300kb while superfine reaches double that.
mine is...
after pressing half to focus, of course i need to press all to take the shot right?
but when i do so.. it defocus and refocus again usually...
if not while focusing, it will stop
it is as though the button has problem... anyone else have same prob?
same thing did happens in my x1 too..
reset to default setting would fix the problem temporary, n then it start defocusing again while pressing the cam button half away down to shutter..
my camera button was like this as well....
and i got a new replacement phone after going to the service centre.
you guys should do the same too...
I am not sure if I understand your problem, so if a am wrong ignore me .
From my expierience it means that it cannot focus correctly (especially in 'manual-focus' mode), mostly due to low-light since the Xperia uses contrast-based-autofocus.
One or more 'green blocks' (on automatic focus) indicate a successfull focus, does it do that at your devices?
nah.. i am a camera user.. its not.. its a problem... but hardware or software?? returning it is a hassle sigh
if you guys are looking for a quick fix to this, simply use the optical joystick button instead of the camera button to take the pic.
on a side note, i had the same exact problem on my old k800i, i just used the joystick to take pics instead of the camera button on the side of the phone.
how do u do that?
how do u semi depress?

That's not the smartest question. You could have pushed the button quicker and seen that it's automatic.
thats not the friendliest reply... most "photographer" will need a focus lock function .. hence asked about it..
anyway i went to SE and they told me nothing wrong with my button.. maybe software.. they will refresh the whole thing...
i got owned.
updates,
refresh did not help...
so its not hardware its not software... hence?
the button is just lousy???
anyone has solutions?
when i click the camera button to open the camera it doesnt alway work either. and yh it doesnt take pictures.
All i know is that the camera sucks really really really bad!!!
Its slow on focus
its slow with taking a picture so the smallest movement make the picture blurry
its worthless in the dark
the light does not help unless its something close by.
only good thing is that i can use the light to walk around the house when its dark and i dont want to turn on the lights.
i dont understand why it sucks so bad.
sony makes good camera's
why is it so hard to make a desent camera that is fast with a flash.
other brand do it,............
mine doesnt even start-up my camera...any way to assign another key to the camera? otherwise its crap!
what i think it is the problem of the button. it is really a bad design and make it hardly to press. i have tried so many times so that i believe that it is not software problem. it is just the stupid camera button...
so, i use the "enter" button of the optical joystick to shoot instead.
the mechanics insisted nothing wrong with the button..
sigh..
using the joystick, wont u loss the feature of focus lock?
but mine is no problem. I wonder if the X1 sell in your countries have more bugs than the one sell in HK? Case cracking problems and camera problems.. and so on!!
Just wondering if someone have camera problem like this.
My front camera (selfie), doesn't work. When i change from my back camera to front, it just stays black but with all camera buttons (take photo, flash on/off...) After that i can only press home button to get me to home screen. When i start camera again , it happen all the same, so if i want to change to back camera i need to press quickly "camera change".
Is this software or hardware problem? I tried to clear cash but problem stays, also tried other cam apps.
