hello am here to ask if every one have oil painting like photos in lower light areas with their z1 ?
and if i use flash . light bleeds inside the camera and my photos will have this jesus light effect. my other z1 doesny have this fault. i thought that maybe because ita black but my new z1 white glass is reflective ?
inferior auto make things worse withs very high iso . so setting to manual with 200iso give better results on dark areas also i cant use flash bcuz u know
a family member with z2 : z2 camera is actually worae than z1. z2 is having bad time to focus and 6 out of 10 photos come blurry and out of focus at low light. its a white z2 but i dont see white bleeding inside camera in photos. tho is has stronger flash too
i had this problem after i opened my z1 to change the lcd. When i closed it back, i didnt put the adhesive on the back correctly so there was a gap between the flash and the camera optics and i got the same white effect on the lower parts of a picture when i was using the flash. I had to open the phone again and change the adhesive :\. You can check if it is the same problem simply by pressing a little with your finger between the camera and the flash, and the take a picture. If the picture will be ok, then i guess you have to change the adhesive too
how do i know if my z1 was opened before ?

Umm...with details like that, one could guess anything. Maybe your settings are wrong...maybe dust....maybe anything. Tell us your settings, lighting situation, etc.
Thanks.

No dust !

did u try to take pics with the half press?
The above advice about setting to half press is good. Also remember that the camera has auto focus so the picture is not taken for a second or two AFTER the button is pressed. So keep it steady for a while after taking the picture.
Also the lens cover on the back of the case needs to be spotless. and also clean the lens cover inside the casing near the top of the battery. Cleaning these makes a big difference. Some folk have actually removed the casing filter, but I'm not suggesting you go that far.

I already removed the casing filter....
What do you mean by half press....?

The camera button is a two position switch. Some folk find that if you have it set to full press for taking photos the finger press has to be so hard (or deep) that the camera moves just as you are taking the pic.
To change this so you only need a gentle press half way down:
Enter the camera menue. Tap on the spanner/wrench symbol and choose half press in the Shoot Option menu.
It might be an idea if you posted a pic here so we can see just what quality you are getting.

Atached,,,90 % of my pics are like this,
I know that this might sound like a stupid question but did you take off the sticker on the inside of the back battery cover. I know I was taking blurry pictures for a couple of hours and finally noticied there was a tiny sticker on the inside of the battery cover. Just a suggestion.
Adrian
I already removed the casing filter.....
Well, that is badly out of focus! So assuming the lenses are clean and no stickers are in place etc then I would take a picture with the camera sitting on a firm surface. Just to rule out the possibility that it's caused by camera movement. If the pictures are still blurred then I would load up the nadavi camera version. If things remain the same then it is most likely a hardware problem. (As it stands there could be a theoretical software issue with the camera using an excessively long exposure time - something it does a bit anyway, but not as bad as to give the effect you have.)
Mike
It looks like its movement plus it appears that the picture was taken inside and is using the auto lighting.... that can easily slow up the camera.
Hello i have a new Optimus 2X. Pictures taken in a bad conditions have a many smaller white dots and a few red dots. Is this normally?
I think besides the red dot, it's probably normal what u are experiencing.
All of the samples you're showing are on low light conditions, so the white dots are probably just noise. The red dot, i'm not sure, but it can be something like a dust particle on the lens or cover, or even a dead pixel on the camera's sensor.
I think if you take pictures in good light conditions, like outdoor in daylight, you wont have the white dots
Cheers
Try covering the camera (should be a fully back image) and take a picture, then aim at the light or a something white (don't aim at sun not so good for the sensor) and take a picture.
If the white or black images have a odd colored dots, most probably a dead/stuck pixels in the camera's sensor. (this is a hardware problem)
If you see nothing wrong it is just noise.
I'm not an expert, my conclusion is based on my time spent with my old Z1 ( defective screen, Sony service center agreed as well ) and my new Z1.
So here goes:
I bought a Sony Xperia Z1 C6902 around the end of last month. After coming home I almost immediately felt like there was something wrong with the screen.The display light seemed to be coming from the sides ( like underwater divers with lights).I had this yellow hue and slight tilts would produce drastic washing out + more of this mysterious "yellow hue" everyone's been talking about.The display just didn't seem uniform. Videos and pictures however seemed to display perfectly. A completely white screen would appear patchy.
After a lot of running around, going nuts and tweeting, I finally got my replacement Z1 today.
Now : Slight tilts DO NOT produce drastic washing out anymore.The screen displays uniformly now .The sharpness of viewing angles still sucks, and there is slight washing out, but only after you're holding it at an awkward angle.
HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR Z1 displays whites correctly.
Do this : Go to your service menu. In your device, open the dialer and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Hit Service Tests ---> Display
You will notice the 1st and 2nd screens match the yellow/off whitish tone of the settings menus. ( On a bad screen it will be patchy, on a good screen it will be uniform )
Now tap the screen 8 times
THIS screen will show you if your device displays whites correctly.
(attached pics of my replaced Z1's display test from the service menu )
Conclusion.
There are 2 things going on here.The yellow hue and and bad Z1 screens are two different issues, but not completely separate.
The yellow hue /off whitish color seems to be Sony's color config for the Z1.( check the screen i've mentioned above to know if your device shows whites correctly )
The bad screens are the ones that don't display uniformly and seem patchy ,have drastic washing out on slight tilting ( which in turn, seems to make the "yellow hue" seem worse, making people think they're connected.)
So,
Bad Screen : Patchy when displaying a full white screen, drastically bad viewing angles, not uniform, display distortion on even a slight tilt.
Good Screen : Decent viewing angles, NOT patchy when displaying a full white screen, uniform display.
ALL screens seem "yellow".
Sony's customer service here was SO SLOW and It should have happened sooner but after almost a month, I'm finally using the device I paid for.
Trust your eyes. Don't blindly accept that all Z1 screens are bad. The Z1 has a lovely display.Know the difference between the "yellow hue" and a defective screen.
Best of luck !
When you say patchy are you referring to like uniform patterns squares (pixelated within)? I see these pixelated squares for all colors in the screen calibration and the 2nd color was like very light patchy horizontal bars. I thought it was my thumbprints but no. I cleaned the screen before the test.

Nope, that's not what I mean. When I say patchy I mean a non uniform like display. Almost looks like there's light patches of water on the screen.

your serial no. dude ?
Not sure if it helps but my previous Z1 was a BH904
this one is a BH906
Hi
When i took photos in very Dark place on Pro mode with Below settings there is some white Dots(Spots) on picture(maybe Like Hot pixel):
1- set exposure on 10 (sec)
2- set iso on 800
The spots place is fixed on all photos in this condition...
Is that nature?!
-The Attached pictures is zoomed in.
You probably already have done it, but, are sure your lenses are perfectly clean, I mean, cleaned with a good clening liquid and a proper cleaning cloth?

If lenses are clean, and it really is a pitch black place, and you had the flash off, and the dots stay in same place on every photo, then it has to be
1) micro scratches (from sand / grit)
2) Dust. They could be dust settling on your freshly cleaned lens (static) - I know if I clean my lenses with kitchen roll, it becomes a dust-fest
3) Fault in CMOS sensor. Though I wouldnt have thought the fault would be white dots, as white is after all ALL colours in the visible spectrum, maybe should be red or magenta maybe, but not white. There are different light sensors for each colour If my limited understanding is anything like correct, therefore, for white to be displayed, red/green/blue sensors at that very same point would ALL have to be faulty. Therefore, to me, a CMOS sensor fault seems unlikely.
4) Dust seal compromised. Unless you have had back off it, this shouldnt be so. Return under warranty if knox is intact.
Good luck.

Are you have Note 8?
I tested two other Note 8s and there was same problem too.
My phone is new and there is no any dust or scratch...
The lense is clean and white dots place is fixed in any photos.
Just test it with take picture in Pro mode with 10 exposure and iso 800 in very dark places without any light. Probable you can see this white dots when zoom in the photo too.

OK I'll bite. As much as I didn't want to I checked mine. I do have spots but they are only in the lower left (lower right on these pics because of the rotation) and vary from dots to lines. I suspect it's a limitation of the aperture seeing it only happens with a 10 second exposure and 10 is it's set limit. The first pic was in a dark closet and the second is with a thick cloth over the lens. It's not a deal breaker in my case because I rarely if ever would set the exposure to 10 seconds, I'm mainly a point and shoot person.

I did. Iso at 800 and exposure at 10 sec. Any other exposure other than 10 seconds and the spots are gone for me.
I took this picture in iso 800 and exposure 10, you can see the white spots clearly:

Yup, it looks like stars. Hopefully others will check as well.
My Sony dashcam does the same thing.

I tested the cam at 10 sec exposure and ISO 800, and yes, there are star like spots, but only visible when enlarging the picture, I had seen this happening with othe phones and cameras at no extreme seetings, that is, not entire seconds of exposure, no totally black pitch ambient, In fact I think that this happening only at 10 sec of exposure is not a big deal, when these dots appear, it is in a situation that almost nothing will be captured in the photo, if something appers in the photo, means there is enough light to be registered, and then, you would not notice the dots, as I most surely will not take pictures in these conditions, I am not worried, I take standard photos all the time
It's normal
Okay. Just tested mine. Same thing. However I do have to mention that I frequently take nighttime photos for astrophotography and typically you wouldn't want such a high ISO on a long exposure because it introduces noise to the photo. And 800 is the highest ISO setting that the Note 8 has. Any camera will do this to you. The long exposure will collect enough light by itself to negate the need for such a high ISO. Not really a defect in the camera, just the process of taking the picture.
While on holiday, quite often at the beach, when switching on the camera, all I got was a bright white screen (like the lenses couldn't cope with the bright light)
After I put my hand over the lenses (to create darkness) and removed my hand, they were able to see an image.
Anyone else experienced that?
