Camera button & Camera flash ?!

MclarenSLR — Sun, 03 Dec 2017 12:39:19 GMT

Hey Guys,
As a previous owner fo sony xperia Z1 , When i used to press camera button half way till it focuses and gives a (Bep) Sound , But here in my XA 1 plus no sound when I press the button half way to focus , it focuses with blue circle but no sound...is this normal???

Other question about taking a photo in dark room with autoflash ,I press the cam button half way to focus then led flash light up for a while until it focuses then it turns off while I am still pressing half way and camera screen goes black
then I full press cam button flash doesn't light up and I get full black photo
but when i press the cam button without waiting for focus it works normally
So is this a problem or that's normal???

oh buddy! I got that too. Auto focus on this phone maybe had some errors. Or we didn't know how to use camera button??? Thank god it's fill flash and full press worked good!

@MclarenSLR

I have an Xperia Z1 and I don't hear that sound when you half press the button, do you still have your Z1 available?

Could you test the phone in >>> safe mode and check if you encounter the same issue?

I've tested it on another brand new phone and got the same problem

It's software problem I think

I now take photos in dark by pressing one time

Without using auto focus
