has anyone experienced this issue with their Xperia Z rear camera? I tried wiping and washing the camera lens but the smudges are still there.

Yep, same here. Though I only have one "hole" in my pictures (in the upper right corner):
[EDIT] I just spotted another one in the upper middle part.
I am wondering where these particles came from coz this model is advertised as a dust-proof one? Anyhow, I will claim the warranty later and I hope they will change the unit rather than repairing for it is still less than 3-week old.

Camera quality on my Xperia Z is great apart from the corners of each picture (especially the top corners), which are always very blurred compared to the rest of the image. I've tried all sorts of different settings, seems to make no difference.
Does anyone know if this is just the way things are with the Z, or a defect which they might fix/replace under warranty?
Post pictures taken from your cam.

The design of lenses have this inherent fault, corners are always more soft than the center.
However post some shots so we can see, because if you are claiming that they are very blurred it would be good help diagnose if the quality does seem worse than the norm. Also double check that the lens is in fact clean all over.

Ok thanks for the heads-up but I could just as easily have posted this as a thread (i.e. 'Possible camera defect', and without the 'Q'). I wasn't aware of the restriction on questions here.
Let me rephrase: "It seems to me that there's a defect with my camera which blurs the corners of pictures. Does anyone else have a similar experience with their camera?" (Or does that count as a question too?)
Here are some links to pictures, anyway, assuming the thread doesn't get deleted (and thanks to those who posted asking for them):
As long as there's nothing in the top corners, it takes really nice pictures:

But these three (taken to test for this fault) clearly show blurring in the top corners (comments on whether this is excessive are welcome):

I have the same problem. When I'm holding the phone in landscape mode, the left corners are also very blurry.
I experienced the same problems with my Xperia Neo, but in contrast to the Xperia Neo, the Xperia S didn't had that problem.
I'm very disappointed in Sony, because I have more problems with my Z

Bump - does anyone else experience blurring in the top corners of their pictures? Thinking about returning under warranty, as I use the camera quite a lot. Sample photos linked below...

I'd say send it back, must be a hardware failure.
I'll be sending mine back for dead pixels on the damn sensor. New sensor so lots of problems.

I do not see really problems with this, I am sure it is a slight misalignment of the lens, this happens on P&S cameras, they are typically worse than this in all corners. This effect even happens on some of the most expensive DSLR lenses, the more wide angle typically worse the issue.
If you can get the whole phone replaced because of this then you will be extremely lucky.
My phone dropped from about a meter (3 feet) off the ground the other day on to some concrete. Luckily there were no cracks or scratches on the phone so I thought it was fine.
A little while later I used the camera and noticed it looked a bit weird. The screen had lines all over it and the photos came out with a red tint. I thought that maybe it was just the app screwing up, so I tried a different camera app but came out with the same results.
I recorded a video of it happening: (but I can't post links since I'm a "new" user. So here's a gif and the picture I took.)
The front camera is completely fine, so I guess something in the rear got damaged when it hit the ground.
Is this problem fixable? Or is the rear camera broken for good? I'm thinking of buying a replacement lens online somewhere and opening the phone and swapping it for the broken one, but I'm not sure if the water resistance will remain intact.
That's unlucky man I'm guessing you will need a new lens and I'd probably get someone proper to do it so you can blame them if anything happens

I doubt it's the lens. Broken camera module.
My Z1 camera lens cover seems to have a lot of scratches, his is very bad effect on the quality of the captured images, is anyone have this problem before, can this cover repaced.

I am not aware of anyone running into this issue before. If you set it on a rough surface or a surface with granules of sand, then that could definitely be the culprit. As far as replacing the lens goes, there is currently no way to get a hold of a replacement lens as far as I know.
If you mean the inside phone part then you'll have to replace the entire camera part. If you mean just the part that you can touch with your finger then you'll need to replace the back glass.
I'm having the same issue, there are some spots on top of the lenses on my phone that won't go away and *all* my photos are have the white color over exposed plus focusing is never sharp enough like other phones, I bought the phone the way it is now and I'm going to replace the back glass to see if it helps.
Hi,
I would like to know if anyone of you faced such a issue and if yes then is it a hardware issue or a software issue? I have got this since last week. There are two dents at the right side corner(portrait)/ top left corner (landscape) on every pic. I'm worried about this. any help?

It's hardware. Most likely dirt on Glass lens cover, lens itself or sensor...

I would be surprised. Sensor dirt does not usually look that "clean". It's more of a shadow. This might be dirt on the inside of the lens (i.e. the side that you can't get to by wiping the back of the phone).
ETA: Note, my experience is with DSLRs. The much shorter lens-to-sensor distance could nullify my statement. Upon closer inspection this looks like some sort of fuzz (thread or something), again likely inside of the camera assembly whether it's on the lens or on the sensor.

You can't really see the lens as it's inside the phone behind the lens cover.

I think there is little bit dust particles on lens (Inside the camera glass)
I had he same issue, except mine was a black dot. There was 0 dust on the lens and I thoroughly cleaned it and the issue persisted. I even flashed back to stock which didn't fix it. This was on my very first Nexus 6 that was made in Oct 14 so I called Moto and got a RMA replacement.
Well I'll have to take it to service centre. Crap
Hi is anyone else got dust partials under the camera lens as mine seems to have a couple which wasn't there when I firt bought it
It won't bother me but will it have a problem in the future with pictures etc
Thanks
You should have it checked, cause it's not normal. More dust could collect in the future.

Return it. It is IP68 rated so no dust can get in. If you have got dust in there the seal has failed.
There is an app that was mentioned on this site for testing the ait tight seal, it would be worth testing with that.
