I have the same thing on my camera. I don't use my camera very much so I havn't worried about it. I have a real camera I use to take pictures. Didn't buy the device for the camera, but would like to know if there is a way to fix it easily myself and how many other people have had this problem. I thought at first it was a scratch or crack in the lense. couldn't see a scratch though. Maybe it is a dust particle or something.

Well it is a hardware problem. It may just be that the push on connector needs re-seating. See the camera Module on pages 12 and 60 of the Service Manual. Copy here:

Be aware though that dismantling voids any warranty you may have.

Hello, I have recently noticed that my phone (HTC TP, ROM 1.90.404.1) takes odd pictures, I think it has something to do with the frequency and/or intensity of the light that comes from the object you're taking a picture of.
I have added a photo that I took, in the picture you see a lamp aimed at the ceiling. Note the weird colors.
I only have this problem with the 3.2 MP camera on the back, the camera on the front of the device is fine. Now I didn't buy the phone for it's camera quality, so it doesn't bother me that much. But I'm still curious.
Does anyone know whats going on?
regardles if you bought it for the camera function or not.
the camera function is on youre phone and it should work.
looks like youre camera doesnt work goed, so if it was my phone, i brought it back for repair.
Bump.
E-mailed HTC via the support site, waiting for a reply.
I don't want to have to hard reset
Anyone got any ideas?
This is probably a faulty device. I'd return it.
The photo looks normal to me
Did you store any kind of mind-driving / psychidelic substances near your Touch Pro?
Well a hard reset did not fix it.
I suppose I'll start looking into the return policy/warranty while I wait for a reply from HTC.
OK well another update.
The good news is I figured out what is causing it.
The problem is the IR filter or rather lack thereof. I asked around and someone told me I should aim a remote control at the lens, press buttons and see what happens. Well I see a nice bright flash on my screen whenever I press a button
Now how to fix it. I think placing a simple IR-filter in front of the lens might do the trick.
Looks like the hardware is fine.

This is not your problem. ALL digital cameras do the same 'trick', even my 12 MegaPixel super Olympus i've just got. I've even used this behavior to help fix a broken remote a few years back.

Awww but the effect seemed the same. So maybe it's still something to do with the frequency?

Looks Poloraized, bad senor if u ask me.
I have a new defect to share with everyone (sorry). The screen on my TF is set so that everything is crooked. It's slight, but the results are pretty noticeable. I have put in an RMA request and am waiting on a response. Anyone else had this problem?
Any pictures of this?
Unfortunately I have no camera (except on the TF )

Front-facing camera and a mirror?
Hi, something that's very irritating to me is the front facing camera issue when you take a picture... you snap a pic and when you go to view it, the picture is reverted in the opposite direction.. can someone take a pic and see what im talking about?
Yeah it does it on mine as well. Appears to be a mirror image of what you are looking at on the screen when the picture is taken.

Yes and then it turn when the pic is completed which is annoying.. that needs to be fixed
sadly this has been the deal with HTC (all?) phones with a front facing camera since the MyTouch4G came out. The software will mirror you so that you see what you'd see in a mirror. this is just plain stupid & I wish it'd show you the mirror image but not actually process the picture that way & leave it like it should be.
So people, there arent any settings to fix this issue?

Ummm let's use the SEARCH feature before we go and open new threads mmmk...... There is already at least 3 different threads that cover this.
I bought a new Nokia 3 from the agent in Sri Lanka. There is a problem with the taken photos, (can clearly observe in a dark environment, without flash). The photos have white dots in a pattern. Both in front and rear cameras. When you zoom in and out the dots too get zoom in and out. I got a new phone for the warranty and that phone too has the same issue. Anyone please advice.

Hello Nikola, I've claimed the warranty for both of Nokia 3 s. Unfortunately I'm unable to send a picture of that. Even the shop people have checked for the issue for other couple of phones before issuing those to the customers and they've found the same. It's more like the night sky without the moon. Stars like dots. And when the camera is in a darker environment the display displays some lines near to the borders (feels like struggling). Anyway I went for a Nokia 6 and it is perfectly fine. I wish Nokia had used Carl Zeiss lenses. Besides all the issues I Love Nokia.

Can you post a picture of that.
Thanks
This sounds like A LOT of noise in the camera. Dust, may be?

Yeah, I noticed the same bug when I took a photo of my grey sofa today. Strange and irritating.
Hope the camera will soon get updated with a fix.

I've adressed the bug on Lenovo's Motorola one vision forum hoping for a solution/fix.
Check if it doesn't look like G5+ tinted corners. https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/red-corner-60fps-videos-t3578606

I had to try it myself after seeing those images from @badadam
I experienced the same thing, and you can even see the purple tint in the view finder without taking an actual photo so it can't be because of some post processing on images.. But it's only concentrated to the middle for some reason.
I got this answer from a support guy on the Lenovo one vision foum:
This looks like a limitation of the hardware under very specific conditions. I suspect attempts to tune it out were determined to cause other side effects, but we will report it.
I´ve now asked if my device has to be returned/swapped if it is a hardware issue or if a future update can fix the problem.
I recieved the following answer to the above question from Lenovo:
Yes, that's what I mean. My personal recommendation would be to use the Night Vision feature, as previously suggested. Flash always leaves some kind of visual variation. Replacing it with a new motorola one vision won't make a difference.
I then took the attached photo (taken with night vision, indoors, not in low light) and sent it as reply asking if it is a general problem with the one vision or I and others that have experienced the problem have faulty devices.
I am tempted to returning/swapping the device in the hope of the latter.
Otherwise I will probably return the device to buy another phone. Which would be sad as I am otherwise very satisfied with the one vision. But I can't live with a phone that can't take perfect indoors photos.
That's only last update
This is before update.
Only SW issue
