Hello!
My English is not very good but i will try to describe it.
I have bought an SE X1 black three weeks ago (after i selled an X1 in silver)
Now i make all the good stuff from the forum on my X1 and yesterday i try the camera.
I press the button, the camera starts to make a photo.
Then i press the button again to autofocus and the camera starts the focus, but again and again and the buttons come and go. after i pull down the button to shoot a photo the camera focus again and after 5-10 seconds shoot the photo.
This situation comes every photo i shoot.
With my X1 Silver i don't have this problems ;(
Does anybody know about my problem?
Sorry about my English but it's years ago
I would try to change the focus settings so it dont require your pointing on what it will focus one a feature i never much liked myself

I almost never use the camera mode on my Trion, but last night I wanted to take some shots at a party. When I tried to turn on the flash the icon was gone from the screen. I tried the function list it has flash on/off but when I hit "on" nothing happens. Like I said I almost never use the camera, but I know it use to work. The only thing I did recently was add Hermes Tweek from fit4cat. I have tried soft reset, but I realy don't want to hard reset just for a stupid flash. I'm not the most tech savey guy, so I live in fear of bricking my phone every time I rom update. I like the way its set up now, so if it has no flash so be it.... But the pictures I could have had of last night.....Well, photo ops like that don't happen every day!!!

You probably know this but in case not - as you don't use camera often, the flah icon will vanish if the camera has slipped off straight picture mode into the mode where it takes a series of pictures. i.e if you look top left corner you should see a logo of a camera not three symbols of pictures lying on top of one another. I find mine constantly slips off straightforward picture mode because the jog wheel gets moved without noticing. The jog wheel cycles through all the different camera and video modes.

Nope its in single shot normal camera mode, but thanks for the tip on the scroll weel I did not know that. I think one reason I don't use the camera more is I hate using the styles when I'm taking a picture, so if you have anymore hardware button tricks you want to share.

Don't need stylus for camera. Start camera with button on side of case.
Take pictures with the Dpad button ie one in centre between the two phone buttons.
Accept the piture by pressing it again and your ready for the next picture.
Exit camera by pressing OK hard key button.

You are ok how ur now mate.....the flash is useless if not u want to use it for torch....even pictures taken from 5-6 feet away dont get any diffrence with flash on and off at night....though 1-2 feet picture will give you a lot of change...all white washed brighten up dude!!!!! i did took atlist 200+ picture with my tytn but i cant remember a picture which were benifited from the using of flash....
anyone any comment??
Night photos
Yup, Sajib, you're right - day photos pretty good, night photos rubbish. Flash 80% useless except for certain angles when taking night photos in macro. I have nothing I would need to photograph in macro in the dark but there maybe many who have!?
Mike
Well I guess I will just have to find my keys with the light of the screen, as that seems to be the only thing it good for. Thanks for the tips. Who knows mabey the flash will come back when I get up the guts to flash the Cingular rom.
Hi!
I opened this poll to know of you if it´s annoying taking self-portrait photos with the Touch HD, as it doesn´t have a dedicated camera button.
Is it easy, normal, annoying? Why?
Is it only me or you also have the impression that it´s necessary take 10 times more care to avoid it from falling on the floor (because of the lack of a top camera button)?
The last questions: is there any self-timer function? Can we set the time to take the pic (1 seg, 2 seg, etc)?
PS: I don´t have (yet) a Touch HD.
Thanks!
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!!
My phone fell down on floor few week ago and from that day my photos are pink/purple. When I start camera it show picture ok for few milliseconds and turn to pink/purple. Also when I take photo I hear some noise in camera and photo is all pink/purple. But when I take photo with flash I got photo with texuture but its pinkish. Same as with video camera. These two are takken on same location with flash and no flash.
Do you know solution for my problem. I changed few roms and problem stays.
Shoul I change hardware?
What part should I change?
Whole camera or just this square camera module?
Or any other solution...
I think it s a fault of the camera itself...You can start opening the hd2,it s very sinple to reach the camera,you have only to take off 4 screws,and controll the little cable that go to the motherboad,and take off and reinsert the camera module.If you need the camera you can contact me in pm,I have one working from a faulty hd2,and I can give it to you for really cheap.
OK thanks on answer. I already opened HD2 so its not to complicated for me. I can change parts. The problem is I dont know which parts do I need to change. So you are saying that I need to change only camera module. This one on photo bellow is camera module? Am i right?
So I ordered this camera module online..Hope that will fix the problem!
It seems that this is rare problem with camera.
IS there Anyone else that knows solution to this problem?
Grateful
hello! it's just me in the camera does not allow me to focus in the whole left side of the screen? I'll explain when I press to focus on the entire central and right out the circle of focus come and so the image is focused, while on the left, across the strip below the key settings, if I press does nothing and the circle of focus doesen't appear.I have deleted the cache of the camera and does the same problem, while other cameras like the google cam work correctly .I haven't problem to touch because it works well on any app and also in test mode. it's the same for all the note 4? also you have this problem?How i can solve it?
sorry for my veeery bad english
No one?
It seems that you can only touch to focus in the center and just beyond the center of the frame - not near those buttons. This appears very much by design, and I'm sure Sammy wanted to avoid people accidently pressing buttons when they wanted to refocus - if you need to focus on something on the edge of the screen, bring the object to the middle of your viewfinder, press and hold (to lock focus) and re-frame the shot.
Glad I'm not alone with focusing problems...
Here is my topic : Note 4 camera won't lock focus + blurry edges on pictures with far focus
Best regards,
Chris.
