Feedback and quick suggestion

Hi just like to thank all the team at SONY for releasing the best and classiest fone arguablly ever or till the honami. Keep up the good work, I m completely satisfied with the Z, I only have one sudgestion about the camera. As many ppl complain about underwater photography, I think it would be great if SONY in their new update update the camera app so that in the camera options there would be an underwater mode in the menu (the menu which you choose video or pic or superior auto etc.) . So that when user wants to take pics in pool or where ever they just launch the cam tap options select underwater mode. In underwater mode the touch screen input is disabled the power button should be the shutter with the volume keys being toggle for video or pic mode with a long press enabling the screen input. Such a simple mod to the existing app would be enuf to keep most users satisfied and would stop all the flak the fone recieves for not being able to take pics or films underwater.  I m a loyal supporter of SONY and it just makes you look bad when your support says there is a third party app for that (aquaz), its a real shame considering you have such a great product and your PR lets it down. The point I m making is that its a top of the line fone from a well respected company and now you tell users to use a advertised feature they have to dl a third party app from a nobody basically (no offence meant great developer great app) but it just not SONY.

Keep up the great work and lets get back to the days when ppl were left speechless when you

say ITS A SONY.

I don't know if you are aware but

1) there's a mod to use the volume key as the shutter

or

2) there's a camera app to use the proximity sensor

also keep in mind that the Xperia Z its water resistant not water proof.

Thanks uliwooly but like I said previously its great app but no video and its not a SONY lol I could code it up my self if I wanted to but its not a SONY most ppl respect SONY and buy a SONY cause its a SONY. Its like a BMW saying u can drive it u just need to use this key thats made by diahatsu. Ps I m not a brand fanboy, sony has the best engineering practises just a bit slow on the pr. And. I was just leaving suggestion I already have aqua z camera app, I m not really into underwater cam just sick of listening of complaining and ppl  putting down a great product cause of such an easy to correct issue so I offer a suggestion.

perhaps you need the Xperia ZR as that phone it is advertised as able to take pictures underwater (it has a physical camera key)

it seems that the Xperia "Honami" its going to be amazing Slightly_smiling_Face

Lol they should have never made the zr they following samsungs releasing too many fones, instead of being SONY. Shorten the range save production cost increase the support staff number, make sure that the phones and service is best quality not have million moddels just to try to compete, quality over quantity. I mean apart from z zl zr ultra sp which others will get android 5 Im guessing none. I had friends go to isheep camp lol just cause they couldnt get updates for their fones and iphone are all in line. Yes custom firmware is available but not for general consumers who dont know what a  root or  bootloader is let alone how to use it. I m satisfied with the z have no issues just giving suggestions. Also would luv to see add led light to quick launch in notifications menu. Thanks in ahead uliwooly I kno I can get an app or widget for it but as they SONY bashers say s3/4 , htc has it in notifications and we have to dl app or go to camera then video then turn the thing on. And one last one please do not put your great logo on plastic screen guard instead of the glass in your upcoming phones.
