Issues with camera quality

bala1 — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 03:22:10 GMT

I bought my Xperia 6 months back. Still I feel unsatisfied with photography especially on night mode (exmor) was very poor in clarity wise @20.7 MP. In one point I can say the object are not looking sharp and smooth instead bit blur and peak edged. Also Macro function is oscillating to pick the object during night mode.

Does your phone has a protective case or film? is the lens scratched?

I noticed no scratches on the lens surface. I m not using any protective case.

@bala1

how about a protective film on the back cover? are there any cracks or damage to the back cover? is it lifting up? that's how you get that purple hue if there aren't scratches or protective films or maybe your fingers are too close to the flash

I m not using any covers too. But you may be correct, this will be one of the cause of fingers close to flash.

I've been owning an Xperia z1 for the past two years and feels pleasingly satisfied with it. Recently, without the knowing the fact of not using the phone in chlorinated water I accidentally took it to for swimming. After about 20-30 minutes I noticed water vapour forming inside the rear camera. I took it out as soon as possible and within 10 minutes things got back to normal. What I'm curious to know about is that can the chlorine water have damaged the seals? Is there anyways to retain the proofing?. I feel like I've lost the confidence with the waterproofing for the time being !!!

Hi. is it your seal damaged physically?

The flaps were all closed and are in excellent condition. Out of two years it's for the first time I ever faced an issue with the phone.

Give it to nearest Sony service center to clean your camera lens to get clean the vapors.

Make sure to request a vacuum test at your local Xperia Care
