Z2 Camera sharpness issue

skycamefalling — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:21:48 GMT

Hi guys,

I have a Xperia Z2 with the latest firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402.

Every photo is sharp in the center of the photo but it gets blurry everywhere else. I'm not sure if this is a temporary software issue or if it is a faulty lens.

In the attached link you can find 3 photos of test-pages. The pages are at the same distance from the camera so they should be absolutely sharp in all 3 photos. However, as you can see, only the are in the center of the photo is sharp. The rest is not.

Please tell me, is this a general issue with this firmware or do I need to get it repaired?

Thanks
sky

The second one I got had dust inside the lens and made blurry photos outside the center. The third I got are ok but overheats and shut down the camera after short time and also ordinary web browsing or using instagram makes the phone heat up to 45 degreesand then the camera won't work because it's immediately overheating. **bleep**ty lousy phone.

do you have touch to focus on in manual mode or not and also check your metering setting in manual mode

I've tried different settings, unfortunately it's always the same. If one area of the photo is sharp and the rest is not then it can only be a faulty/badly aligned lens or a software problem. That's why I'm trying to find out if anyone else noticed such an issue. If not...well...then I'll have to send it for repair
