6.1.1.B.1.54 - bugs (camera)

Pi_ — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:28:26 GMT

Does someone have the camera issue? On 8MP auto, when you want to snap something in the dark with flash, sometimes a half of picture is black. It looks like saving picture is not synchronized with flash snap or some light messurement problem i don't know. I've checked all kind of variation in options - still no result. On 6MP everything works fine.

Ofcouse we speak about everything stock, locked bl.

Example

Here you have 6MP auto (everything ok) - http://i48.tinypic.com/2vjzbly.jpg

And here 8MP auto (bug) - http://i46.tinypic.com/17zuk5.jpg

Sony please check this

Wow,

a lot of users who upgraded their XP have this problem. I hope Sony would release fix for this.

Could you try using 3rd party camera apps. and set them to 8mp and try capturing photos? can you post here?

SAME PROBLEM

after updating to 6.1.1.B.1.54 when I take close up pics of 8MP they apperas to be dark, when switch to 6MP they are fine.

also tried 3rd party applications but issue remains

one observation is that after restarting your phone if you immediately take a pic on 8MP its fine after some time when you take pic it comes dark

SONY please look into this issue.
