i tried it many time but not working. when i press it only focusing is happening and a green square comes in screen but click is not working. I think it was working on first day when i bought the phone last week. After that i had tried to update software to ICS but was stucked up in middle. Will be this problem bcos of that?

i had tested phone using function tester application. In that camera key is not getting detected.. but i belive it was working when i bought the phone last week.. this can happen due to software issue? the key is not totally malfunctioning as i m getting the green box on screen when i press on it . I can get it to sony service center next month only. Pls suggest me wat to do

Does you soft press the Camera key or hard press the key?

Soft press - green box appears and begins focusing

Hard press - take picture

If can, turn off the screen by pressing once the lock/off key...

Next, long press the Camera key (to activate fast capture!)...

If it successful, the screen ons and directly goes to Camera app and start capture a photo...

Still unsuccessful, remove the cover and spot the area where the Camera key is and see if there's any damage to it...

Press the camera button harder

if you press it lightly only the screen will get ready to take photograph

and if you press more hard it will take photographs
