Xperia z3 rear camera clarity issue

Xperia z3 camera clarity is very bad after update of marshmallow. My camera version is still showing 1.0.B.1.10. But i can see that the latest version is 2.0.I have mailed to Sony support and they were suggested me to do the software repair. I did the software repair too but the issue is still persistent. Could you please someone let me know what is the issue with my camera.

@Muddu

probably a hardware issue, scrached lens, water damaged, etc, contact your Local support and take it in to get it inspected.

Only your Local support can answer that question after they have inspected your device.

I have contacted to local Sony support centre.They were investigated and said that it is a scratched lens iss and they asked me to drop handset in service centre to replace the entire back panel. And I said "No" to them and came back to home. After few days my camera is working perfect now. I didn't done anything, Now my camera is completely back ....

I am requesting Sony to investigate on this issue. Hope you guys can understand the issue.

Again my camera clarity is blurred. Irritated with my phone like this behaviour. Sony please release the new update to fix this blody issue in z3. Some times it is working fine and sometimes not. Hope this is not a lens issue.

I have always been a fan of Sony cameras and have owned many in my life, but when I got into smartphone, at first I went the Samsung route, starting with the S1.  Later I got the S2, S2 Skyrocket, S3 and S4.  Now, I have to say here that while I hated these phones because they were glitchy, unstable and slower then molasses, I loved the picture quality of the cameras.  

I got my first Xperia (V) given to me and I loved it right from the start.  Smooth interface, fast performance and sharp display won me over back to Sony.  But the camera on the V, even though a 13MP, never quite gave me the sharp rich pictures I got out of my Samsungs.  When it came time to upgrade and I looked at the specs of the Z3, I was like, "Yeah Baby! This camera is gonna be great!".  Unfortunately, I now think this might be the worse camera I have ever had on any smartphone.  I am not sure where the problem is.  Is it the lens, the sensor, or the software?  

The pictures I am getting are dull, underexposed and not color correct. The fine detail is non existent.  Most of them are grainy and have visible artifacts. 

Am I the only one that is seeing this?

Definitely the worst camera I've had in super or auto mode in low light, it looks like my old Ericsson P1i, 3mp camera at best

I agree.  I just want to know why it is so bad and if there is anything that can be done about it.

It it just me, or does it seem that there is almost nobody on this forum?

There is plenty people, it's just that a lot have new fones now and are complaining again on the other pages and the ones stuck with the old Z3 are fed up now, as nothing really gets done.
