YES!, I've had this problem since the first day I got it and took a group photo.
It was pretty embarrassing since I was supposed to be showing off my new phone.

Happens without the case as well, I also have a protective film on the back but I don't see how that could change things.

Does anyone know how to fix this or is this a hardware problem specific to us?

I've seen this before with other users, on different Xperias, if your finger or anything its closer to the flash or even the camera/lens you will get that type of pictures

Thanks for the advice, but I just tried taking photo's without anything near back side of the phone (including my fingers) and the flash still takes up the right side of the picture

that's odd, try to do the same outdoors. so there is NOTHING on the camera nor the flash? not even a cover film?

I had a very thing screen protector on the back of the phone but it didnt cover the flash or the camera. Took it off and gave the phone, gave it a clean and the flash mark went away (for now?). I'm pretty amazed, how could such a thin screen protector make a large flash mark? But this also means I won't be able to protect the back of my phone now

I told you, it was the film, you can protect it but make sure that the film its not as close to either the camera lens nor the flash.

Hi,

I have a big problem with my Xperia Z. The quality camera is very low. I checked the phone imei and it seems to be genuine.

The pictures seems to be taken with a vga camera. The camera settings are on superior auto mode.
