Hello, I am experiencing something word with my camera. I'm not really sure if we consider it a hardware problem or something.As you can see, there are purple lines that appear on my pictures.. Why is this? Second question, can I get my phone replaced because of this problem?
P.s. I used to experience this in my blackberry storm 1 after a few years. Attaching photos. 1 st photo was taken with my Note and the second was with my storm.

Do you notice the same banding effect on your phone if you use Gallery or browse the net? In low light conditions the striped effect has been reported by many other Note users - search for "banding" and you'll see what I mean
I do notice the effect but only when in low light - if the screen is set to higher brightness the banding effect goes away. So maybe it is not camera related but more to do with the screen?

Okay, I'll read up on banding later on. I tried turning up the brightness on full and took a test shot and still, there were those lines. I kind of noticed that this banding happens more for whites than low lighting conditions.
Thanks by the way!

Simple test would also be to transfer the photo to your PC and see if it shows banding there? (I am probably wrong but assuming you used screenshot feature of Note to take screen captures?)
PS - don't just say it - hit the Thanks button
Sorry I'm new here. there you go.
Anyway I'm not yet home so have no access yet to my PC. Got to chat and show what's wrong with a photographer friend. he told me that this is a common problem due to the fluorescent light. True enough,I tried some low light shots under a different light bulb and no banding. I was quite convinced and so I'll continue trying to do tests.

Anyone else?
totally agree with you!!
Same here...it seems like when i take pictures inside with a bright light in the back ground the light white washes the pictures. Its like its super sensitive to bright light. Forget using the flash...

Not a problem here, but I had that problem with my Xperia PLAY.

Last night I was trying to take pics of me dunking and the camera lagged every time there was movement on the phone, but when it was day time it was as good as can be.
Also, I noted that when taking a really up close picture of something, the camera doesn't focus at all...even if you tap it.
Ditto on the same issues... Or maybe that's the way the phone camera is. If anyone with better knowledge could enlighten us if this is normal or not would be greatly appreciated.

It's normal.. It's trying to adjust ISO to allow light in and that takes time which causes the screen to lag.. If you manually adjust the ISO to a specific setting it will not lag nearly as bad as auto in low light.

You should see how much snapchat lags with low light situations on this phone.

If you're referring to the picture moving smoothly as you move, this is normal. I don't think it's iso but rather the shutter being open longer (slow shutter). If you notice, the picture smears while you're moving. This is exactly what happens when the shutter is slow. This phone probably sets the shutter slower than most others to draw in even more light. I wouldn't worry about it.

Many may have different opinion , personally felt good
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oYXhvciJd
set your display brightness to 75% with adapt to light and set screen filter 48% and see you viewing angles, i felt it has improved for two reasons from .253 the screen calibration has been better and deeper colors along with this layer of filter dulls your screen to give you better colors ( darker / saturated ) try it for yourself and post your best setting for the filter..
Hit thanks if this app helped you

Wooow. For me, colors look better when you tilt your phone for 80 degrees. I'm on .434.

I think the app basically reduces the back light rather than the brigtness
Great application. I m on .307 and set brightness at 50% adapt to light and screen filter at 69%,looking great on my phone,it does improve colors making it dark and saturated.
Have a strange camera issue...
When i set iso to 200, for example, it looks like all ok, as picture goes darker, but when I take picture, it goes brighter as iso is set above 800-1000 or exposure goes to max and saves like this... and then it goes back darker on the screen... Wtf?
When I setting iso in settings to 200, I want it to capture with that iso...
No hdr or flash is enabled...
Is this the known issue and there is a fix for that? Or maybe some suggestions?
Or its just me with this issue?
Thanks!

C6603, latest firmware, rooted, doomlords kermel...
i don't think the stock fw honours ISO settings.
It tries to up to the max then drops down till it finds a working version, so as to keep shutter speeds high,
despite what the camera app says!

What you are experiencing is that the viewer doesn't display the image with the iso that you have selected that's why it's all dark.
But when you press the shutter it takes the picture with the right iso.

Yup. If you manually set ISO to 100 in low light, and take a pic. (ignoring the viewer) you will get a reasonable result :thumbup:

You are in a Sony Xperia Z thread, so very likely to be one of those
If your fixed ISO is dark then, your metering is up the wack or the exposure is too short for the light in the sceen

Exactly as stated here, the same issue happens on most cameras LCD's in low light shots.

Hdr is not a problem here, and it is not turned on...
Problem is if in normal mode and iso set to 100 or 200 for example, in the mid light condition you almost dont see anything on the viewfinder, the picture is too dark, but if you take a photo it comes out bright and all is visible on it...

I know, but hdr makes a difference in the viewfinder when iso is set low.
