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

I'm sorry that it has taken so long but the problem has now been located and a fix will be implemented in the JB software update.
Hi there, ups just saw this topic after posting mine, i have the exactly same problem so let's hope that a quick fix is on the way.
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?
i have the same problem after the update..!! plzz release the fix soon..!!
Can you try using 3rd party applications?
yes even i m facing the same problem, is thr a solution fr this??the first tym i faced this prob was right after updating the firmware, then i switched off and switched on d phone, d cam prob was solved.. but when i checked after sometime d prob reappeared..it is so annoying!!!
and dont u think this firmware update has made d phone wrking more slow n laggy..?
i also tried to install diff camera app frm playstore, but d flash prob still exists..
Initially when i installed the firmware from official sony pc companion i was not facing any kind of this bug but yesterday when i tried to root my phone with the method in this foum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023756 after reflashing back the 6.1.1.B.1.54 kernel i started to face this problem then i solved it by making a ftf of the lastest firmware which i have downloaded initially from pc companion and then by flashing only kernel from it and the problem was gone.....also i have a LB and i don't know how to extract the kernel from the whole ftf otherwise i would have uploaded it fr u.....hope this info might help u
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.
Hey buddy, just rename your ftf file to .zip & extract kernel.sin from it & upload it for us.
