FLASH BLEEDING!!!!! Is Sony going to something about it? C'mon!

Hi guys,

I have this phone for 5 weeks, and I think it's a great phone but simply can't stand the fact that when I shoot in low light conditions I got that flash bleeding simply destroying picture quality.

I've used the marker trick, but after a week or so the coloring has gone away and I had to do it again.

Guys, so frustrating you need to paint a 400£ phone once a week come on....

Will Sony do something about it, or they consider just enough they've said "You're shooting it wrong" ??

Will they just act as if nothing has happened and fix this on Z2 Compact?

Always loved Sony for the way they are different form Samsung, Lg etc. but really disappointed this time...:(

Cheers.

I agree with everything you said and it's unaceptable a flagship like this have these kind of problems.

Have you updated yet to 4.4 (KITKAT)?

There was a slighly improvement in the camera regarding the flashbleeding...

It's just my opinion but it's better to take pictures in manual using nightmode or ISO.

All the pictures of this device are better in manual than in sup auto...

Hi bionder, thanks for the reply

Yes, I've updated, maybe i can notice a slight improvement, but the reflection of the flash that penetrates into the sensor laterally is still there.

It's a hardware thing, it cannot be solved by software update, IMHO.

Have anyone noticed Z1F has a black ring around the lens, similar to the "marker tip to bypass z1c flash bleeding?

Maybe the great idea to replace the z1fc glass back with the z1c plastic one was not so great?

I want Sony to tell us something about it. I don't want to be annoying or rude or whatever but I've bought Xperia S, Xperia P, Xperia U, Xperia ZL.

I want some respect, please.

Cheers.
