Hello,
I am facing the following problems with my Xperia Z
1. As reported at other numerous sites for Z1, in my can I am having the symptoms with Xperia Z of flash bleeding and over exposed pictures with a purple or bluish tinge and frame covering a grainy image even in normal light , not necessarily low light situations. I have tried it with superior auto and manual modes with various flash settings and it does not seem to resolve.
Is it a manufacturing defect which cannot be corrected with software adjustments, if so then I night consider selling it for something else in the xperia series. But I have heard that the same problem is there with Xperiz Z Ultra and Z1/2 , is it so.
2. The earpiece sometimes loses audio during the call, it can happen randomly. Starts working again randomly after sometime or disconnecting and redialing the call. Apparently it does not seem like a hardware issue, cause it does not work even when i press or tap around the earpiece area. Again i have seen this on sony forums and some suggest it is due to the latest ROM update, I dont know for sure whether it is and what is the solution for it.
I am running stock (non-rooted) 4.3.x as per the latest Sony official update.
It would be really nice if someone can please help me out to sort the reported issues, which I am sure a lot of other users would be plagued with.
Thanks.

Issues:
- colours are washed out
- flash is either too dark or way too bright
I tested this phone with a 5MP Sony Xperia Sola with as similar settings as I could and every time either the flash was dim or overly bright and every time the colours were washed out. The other phone has a lower screen resolution and the camera has fewer megapixels (I know there's much more than that to the quality but as an idea).
Has anyone else tested the phone beside an old phone / a friend's phone?
To be honest, the camera wasn't a top priority, but I was pretty shocked at the quality - so I had to ask! I've tried every setting on the camera.
Dear fellow forum users/Z1 owners,
I'm a new user of a Sony Xperia Z1. I've been using my phone for about a week now to take photos, and I've noticed that there is a problem with the camera display. When I move my phone to take a photo of another subject, the display actually lags behind and sometimes freezes for a second before finally catching up with my movements. Do any of you face similar issues?
Another question I'd like to ask, would be the vibration/movement of the lens as it refocuses, especially on macro shots. It makes this small "tick" sound and vibrates while attempting to focus, something which I've not experienced on other cameras. Is this natural or is it a hardware issue that I should get Sony to check?
Thanks for taking your time to read this post, and I look forward to hearing your responses.
Cheers,
Sonynoob
I must say - never heard for that problems.
I don't have that issues, my camera is working great, no vibrations, no lag - full HD recording or shooting picts - all works great.

Just tested the camera in a quiet environment and I must say, it seems to produce the 'tick' sound before every shot...it only gets worse in macro situations.
Same goes for me. I think it is a normal thing while camera struggles to focus.

Had this lag too the other night trying to shoot outdoor. I don't know if it was because too much stuff running in background or if it's the camera, only happened once.
I got a problem with the colors in the xperia z1 sometimes normal sometimes fade, is there a solution? If this is a problem in the hardware or software? Thanks
Recently the camera has started to exhibit some odd behaviour. Occasionally when launching the app, the camera will take several seconds to focus and you can actually hear quite clearly some kind of mechanical noises going on. It's not every time the case but this never happened before...
Anyone else encountered this strange issue? I will do some more testing in different lighting conditions to get a better grasp on the issue.
Hello,
There's a strange rattling noise when I move the phone back and forth like something is loose inside the phone near the camera module. Does anyone else have the same experience? Is this related to the gimbal/OIS or a defect? I don't remember if I had this from day one, just noticed it a couple of days back.
Regards.
I have the same thing, Chinese version. Noticed from day 1, no issues with camera. I'm assuming it's the gimbal
Having something similar when i play games and there is vibration, only noticeable at night when there is absolute silence. I suppose its the gimbal, no problems whatsoever, and only noticeable on no noise at night.
Yes, it is the Camera stabilization system and it is natural.
