Hi!
I bought a Kaiser at ebay, its "new" frsh excanged by vodafone. Al works perfect, just the Camera shows only very strange colours, like a rainbow or else. What could that be?

EDIT: Picture attached

Try this...I and others have. Take off back cover. Carefully cut out the clear plastic lens cover on the back. Reassemble.
Or, just try taking a photo without your back cover on first, and see if that makes any difference. Good luck.
That looks like you have the "negative" special effect chosen. Go to "effect" submenu in "capture settings" menu list and uncheck it if it is checked.
Hi!
I tried out to make a picture without the backcover, see attachment. Looks better, but still not good .
Negative effect is not activated.
Any other ideas?
Greetings MrMmmkay
Looks like someone dropped your camera in some sort of oil/fuel or something lol.
Have you tried actually cleaning the lens under the case, and the little window in the case itself? Use some diluted gin/vodka if you don't have any proper cleaning product. Make sure you remove battery 1st obviously and only use a little. Make sure it's also fully dry before re-assembly.
I cleaned up the camera lens. Nothing changed .
the sensor gave up his soul to the lord lol.

Hello guys!
I have the phone for 3-4 months now, and I used the camera only 3 times.
I noticed that the white color is very bright, and the photo becomes bad (please look at the photos attached). Can you tell me if your camera is having the same problem, or it's only me ?
If it's only me - do you have idea how can I try to fix it ?
Notes:
I changed the ROM 3 times /No difference
I changed the brightness/contrast in the settings, but there is no big difference ( the photo becomes better if I use brightness+contrast = max, but still the white is very bright)
both of these images are backlit... this is very hard for the camera to do, because the foreground is a low light situation... try to adjust the angle of the shot to avoid this situation. In the attached photos I have demonstrated what I am trying to say. These are pics of my 20 year old Cocker Spaniel, Sheeba. Notice in pic 01.jpg, her face is blown out. But in the second it is actually better, and in the third (as I move further around her) her face is now clearly visible.
Remember this is a Pocket PC, with a camera chip. Not a camera with a Pocket PC attached. With that in mind, this camera does a phenomenal job!
Hope this helps!
Also it looks like your lens is dirty, and make sure that the blue plastic is pulled off inside the battery cover...
For the picture of the child tilting the camera down more would have helped the light metering compensate better, see all of the area above his head, that is where most of the metering is taking place.
here is another example
You can also try lowering the brightness down to -1.5 or to your liking. It might help a little bit (it does to me)
Thanks a lot for the tips guys!
From what I'm seeing here the Tilt has just bad camera...
My wife has Samsung U600(with 3MP camera) and the pictures are way better than the Tilt ones.I guess I'll just use her phone.
Thanks again for your help!
You should try the camera outside in the daylight with a front-lit subject before you condemn it.... post some pics from your wifes Samsung for us to view then
Here is how the camera would have metered it (photoshop profile) had you not included the area where all of the light was.
The camera does work pretty awesome with the proper lighting...
Notice in the first two, pointing the camera down, so that the car is the majority of the picture, the camera meters for the car, overexposing the sky. Put pointing the camera up underexposes the car, but the sky is brilliant blue, instead of white....
Now I am not saying that this camera doesn't have problems... on the contrary, this camera has a light leak.. which is clearly obvious when every picture taken has the same Spike in photoshop's histogram. But an ounce of prevention, in this case is truly worth a pound of cure! Play with the camera, experiment with all of the settings, find out what you like best. But most important, just pay attention to the screen and move the camera up, or down, left, or right ever so slightly and watch how the exposure changes... It won't take long before you can take great pictures with it!
Oh yeah, and clean that lens every time you use it!
I've just come back from holiday where I found myself taking quite a few snaps with the Diamond's camera rather than my usual camera simply because it was more convenient.
I don't normally bother with PDA cameras as they're pretty much rubbish but for quick snaps the Diamond's camera is not too shabby. However, I noticed some very strange quirks:-
1. It seems to try and detect the orientation of the camera using the G-sensor and rotates the image automatically. Most of the time it gets it wrong - is there any way to stop it from doing this so I can rotate my images manually? it really messes things up in Album!
2. In really bright light (such as shooting directly towards the sun) everything goes dark blue and grainy. It's actually quite nice (I have a Holga camera so quite into that sort of thing) but I can't think of an explanation for such behaviour!
See attached for an example.
Cheers

I got a very blueish picture on a bright day (though not against sunlight) too... Though taking a picture inside then yeilded fine colors (well, average quality). Dont know what cause it, must be a flaw in the color metering.
I really wouldnt use the camera for anything other than snapshots or when you dont have a camera around. Even at 3.2mpx like my old Canon A510 (a budget entry camera, hardly anything high end), the Canon beat the living snot out of it. I wont even begin to compare it with my F40fd (again, a budget cam).
Though I must say its much, much better than my old 1.3mpx K600i phone camera, lol.
I've certainly heard that overexposure can lead to a blueish tinge. So you might want to try manually cranking down the exposure and see if that helps next time.
In this case its more than a tint though, there is pretty much no red or green in the image and the contrast is off the charts. Interesting and fun pictures though.
The Diamond camera needs a UV filter as the chip is too sensitive to the high side of the spectrum. Mine is not as bad as yours- and I was taking photographs similar to yours, perhaps there are different back covers that provide filtering- I have the original Diamond cover.
i also had blue pics when taking pics against the sun but with my 4 megapicsel casio camera. last time it happened there where also ppl, (blue) in the pic lol. so, maybe it is not a diamond related problem.
have you tried using the inbuilt setups for exposure?
if i have no other choice an have to use the diamond as a camera i am always take out the back cover. another thing to try
Thanks all for the responses. I actually quite like the blue pictures, and since the behaviour is at least predictable I'm not too bothered. Instant Holga effect
With regards to the G-sensor guessing camera orientation however that is really bugging me. And also I've noticed that the camera on-screen controls don' t flip to portrait mode either.

Yes, also i am bugged of this. I've take a shoot of a contact image with the PDA in Landscape (the photo was right in this position).
Now i have my friend photo ALWAYS rotated of 90° and, if i rotate the pda, the photo rotate itself and it's NEVER aligned.
Now i can't assign the photo until i don't rotate it by the PC
Exactly - you take the shot and then try to view it in Album. Then you end up wiggling the Diamond around to get the orientation right. In slideshows the orientation is all wrong too.
The only way to fix it that I've seen is to go into the MS "Pictures & Videos" application after taking your shots and rotate each image manually.
Most digital cameras I have ever seen just leave the image alone
Mine is also very blueish (MDA Compact IV here) and it also auto-rotates for me
Hopefully we can find a way to at least turn off the auto-rotation, with some tweaks or new camera software!
The blue-ish tinge in a normal situation is probably just the white balance being off (or overexposure as another poster pointed out).
To get those mad blue shots I had to stand in the surf at the beach and shoot directly at the sun. When I tried the same shot at sunset I got normal colours (though still some vingette effect at the edges).
Attached is a shot from the same day, same place just at sunset.
Hi guys, really need some help here.
The old shots are from around April, and the Current are from the past month odd (even though this problem has been around for the past 3 odd).
As you can see the picture quality is horrible - and the lens is clean. I don't know if this could be a software issue / setting - i did try do a full restore of my phone, but nadda! (Close up shots do look a little better - as you can see below)
Currently running CM6 RC3.
Please help!! Has anyone experience the same?
(First three shots are current, last three are old)
Thanks,
To me they just seem like out of focus. Might sound like a stupid question, but did you go through your camera settings?
Also, try reflashing the ROM without wiping. You'll keep all the settings, but if something is wrong, it might just get fixed.
I know you say that the lens is clean, but that looks _exactly_ like my shots when I had a smudged lens.
Clean it with rubbing alcohol, both the outside plastic on the back-cover and the lens itself.
Hello
I have my optimus 2x for about 0ne week now.
When I tap the phone with my finger on the backside above the camera or when it slides on the table al little faster (not so fast that it dangerous for the phone) I hear a strange clicking noise from the inside of the phone. Is that normal? probably the gyro-sensor?
Have you the same noise when you do that?
Maybe something inside my phone is broken...
p.s: its definitely no part of the shell, i have made serveral tries while holding varying parts on the outside (Camera, Card-Slot, HDMI,...)
please, can somebody tell me if that noise is normal?
The Answer ist just one tap with your finger away
Very slight click when I tap mine. Wouldn't even notice it if you had not mention it. Can't get it to click any other way. Probably the camera assembly.
Someone posted on here suffering from the same problem. Apparently it's something slightly loose in the camera assembly which is surprisingly common on phones (the Nexus One had a big probably with it apparently).
yes its normal even after you taking a photo with macro or some AF and then go to gallery you can ear the noise because the camera do it. its loose by default.
aahh, ok thank you for your replies, no real problem then...must have missed it the first few days.
good built quality ;-)
My camera has problem like this. i took 2 shots at the same place and with the same light !

Anyone know how to fix ? Thanks
Some obvious things:
- Have you changed ROMs/Kernels between shots?
- Did you change any camera settings? White balance maybe?
- Have you checked the lens to make sure it is clean?
Bit hard to tell what has happened without knowing the above.

+ I have tried several ROM (stock GB, stock ICS, CM9), and still got this problem
+ I did not change any thing in setting
+ How can i check lens ?
Not sure there is a way to check lens apart from viewing through camera. I clean mine with an alcohol wipe when I clean the back of the case. You may have some grime on it.
If you have used different ROMs then must be related to the lens I would think. I have noticed that the camera is not so good in room under night time conditions, but does do excellent job outside. Have you tried taking outside shots during the day?

+ I have tried taking outside shots, and results were the same
No - I onlu clean outside of it very carefully. If you have done that and outside shots are the same then it seems like it is a hardware problem. Did you take any shots of the Sun (silly question I know but with the Transit of Venus last week some people may have pointed phone at Sun and cooked their photo receptor)
THe only other thing I can suggest is to select Reset from Camera settings and then see if that undoes any weird settings that are affecting the picture.

Did you reset the camera settings? Does look like you have some sort of effect on the camera like a pinhole

Yes, i reseted camera setting. Maybe i have to bring it to Samsung care
Yes, sorry. Can't think of what else it could be. Good luck
