The camera problems on the Xperia L are obvious. Do you have any solutions? If you have any work arounds please post them. Also post any bugs you have noticed and the build number or custom roms used. Here are things I've noticed.
Third party apps like Camera MX works better than the Sony camera app. How is that possible?
Problems
Flash does not expose properly in extreme low light (like a poorly lit livingroom)
Anything over 3 feet is horribly out of focus.
Shutter speed to slow to catch any moving subject.
Horrible noise in anything less than bright sunlight.
Possible reasons
Many phones have a macro setting (This enables the focus to limit the focus distance and speed up focus for close and distant objects)
No continous auto focus (that may be the reason moving subjects are never in focus)
Shutter speed too slow (another reason subjects are often out of focus)
Image size in relation to sensor. (the sensor could be too small or placed where heat is a problem) I'm sure users would rather have a smaller image that is clean over a large image that is noisy.
A setting to allow release of shutter even if no focus lock.
I bought this phone over others is because Sony claimed almost no shutter lag and good images in low light. The phone does neither. I love everything else abou this phone. It's light, packed with excellent features and the audio and the phone's reception are excellent. Why Sony is marketing this as a good camera phone is beyond me.
Xperia L stock build 15.0.A.2.17
I am also experiencing such problems. When my phone was on the old firmware, exposure are always accurate and autofocus functions well. Images are crisp and sharp but after going to 15.0.A.2.17 it seems quality became crappy compare to 15.0.A.1.36
Camera Problems
I'ts a smartphone with camera, not a camera with phone features. give it a break, its good enough for social sharing and common use, you know taking family spontaneous pictures or shooting on the go, it wouldn't be wise if try to make my professional shoots with this one instead of my dslr.
do you think guys that sony can fix the shutter delay/lag and image noise via software update?

I don't expect to perform like my DSLR but I do expect it to take a better photo than my 4 yo Sony Xperia X10a. Especially when Sony has sold it as the phone that takes quality photos. I know there is always some hype, it's called marketing. But the phone's photos are horrible. They look worse than a cheapo Chinese knockoff phone.

i also bought this phone because sony said this is camera phone. -_- (good for low light) and can capture that famous hourse running on the beach

I paid for it, I'll complain if I want. I didn't get a used phone on ebay. I bought it new and Sony needs to support it's products and be honest in it's advertisement. Marketing is one thing, being deseptive is another. If they want to allow it to be unlocked without voiding the warranty I would flash a different rom. BTW if the camera was even better than average I would give it 5 stars. Great sound, very fast, very good battery life, decient screen, packed with features noise canceling mic, dedicated shutter release, fm radio ETC.

I pointed out problems and yes I did contact Sony no reply as of a week ago. If I had said nothing I wouldn't have received the help of other users. I thought people who are considering the phone would like to know about it's problems.

I wanted know because I will buy its soon and will it ever have a bootable and full working cyanogen mod and Ive heard about many battery and restarting problems so should I buy this phone and by the way I live in india
We can't predict the future, you know. So we don't know if we'll ever have a stable CM. And your choice depends on what do you want your phone for. If you're a heavy user/gamer, then this phone suits you perfectly. If you like taking photos, you might want to look forward to another phone, since Xperia L has alot of camera issues, such as high exposure on low light and image flicking while recording on indoor enviroinments.

I suggest to wait or save your money for other brands or other models... Xperia L has some issues and even up to now the issue isn't solve. It has been two months since the last update but still no fixes on those crucial ones

1. There is problem with the WiFi what so ever. It's the router/modem.
2. Touch screen sensitivity can can be a problem sometimes while zooming in or out. Otherwise it's good.
3. There are no HW camera issue. Only SW camera issue. So expect them to be resolved in 4.2.2 or 4.3 or CM.
4. I am hearing this for the first time. No mic quality issues. Mic is great according to me.
If you're not convinced about the camera, talk to @shivamk11 and look into his thread!

Ok, thanks, but i watched some video samples from this phone and the sound was not that good which means voices will seem unnatural to the other party im calling.
And what about this memory full issue : http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-L/Device-memory-full-in-xperia-L/td-p/347456
Does it happen to all phones or certain firmwares only ? Is it fixed with 2.17 update ?
I also heard read about restarting due to home screen wallpaper issues, is it true ?
I dunno, this phone seems to have many issues.

That memory issue is one of the biggest bugs on xperia L. If you're planning to root XL, no need it worry as it can be solved.
However, if you're not keen on rooting, there's a decent chance that you could face this problem. & NO, this bug is not fixed with the 2.17 update.
I am currently on 2.17 & still face this problem. Haven't yet faced the restarting problem..

If you are confused between Xperia M and Xperia L ...
Then blindly go for Xperia L .
According to me Xperia L is better in all terms in comparison to Xperia M .
hey guys, after watching xperia l review on youtube on almost every different channel, none other of them complains about touch issue. but when i go to xda, suddenly theres a ton of L user complaining about low senitivity touchscreen issues..
does the touchscreen issue only happens to some people or all L users?

Hey All,
Just got a N5 and I'm a bit disappointed with the camera. Seems like this issue isn't new, but the camera has a really tough time autofocusing and even tap to focus.
I saw that there was a fix for older versions, but is there any update in 4.4.4?
Just as a curious note: most of the custom roms have this problem or not?
Thank you,
-Siroes
If you are disappointed with Nexus 5's camera performance, you should consider selling it away and get a phone with a better camera..
Agreed. If after 4.4.2 you think the camera is disappointing you must be a professional photographer. I'd highly recommend a Nokia WP as a phone camera or a quality camera.
Using Google Camera on 4.4.4 has a pretty decent shutter speed and also using different dalvik patches can increase the speed.
The camera works amazing when it does focus, but it takes quite a while sometimes. I never used 4.4.2, so I can't speak of that experience...
Just wanted to see if anyone else had similar issues.

install google camera from playstore. better focus
Is this with or without HDR+? Without HDR on, I find 4.4.4 with the Google Camera will focus pretty quickly. With HDR on, it's obviously going to take a fair bit longer to take a snap.
Either you're doing it wrong or you're a professional photographer.
If you're the latter then I don't know what you're trying to do with a phone camera lol.
Camera works fine for me, better than the Note 3.

honestly, i have that and it makes very little difference. The camera quality is only good when using HDR mode which in some roms doesnt even work properly. If you are a photo takin/lovin person, this camera will be a disappointment.
A minute to focus? 60 full seconds?? I'm doubting that.
Anyway....camera phones are very cheap cameras....no phone will compare to even my 99 dollar Kodak camera.
I see comparisons with guys comparing this phone to that phone and they are all inferior to the cheapest of dedicated cameras.
If people are that concerned with getting consistently decent pics....carry a camera with you. They can be quite small and light, and will put all phone cameras to shame.
Just my 2 cents. ?
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------
And.....if you rely on your phone camera to take your pics at a special event that you want good pics to capture the memories..... Its just silly to show up with nothing but your phone.
If it truly takes 60 seconds to focus I think you might have a problem with your hardware. Otherwise you should check out this thread if you haven't already http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...tos-post-pictures-videos-share-4-4-1-t2477920
Shouldn't take more than a couple seconds to focus unless you're moving the phone a lot. Perhaps your hand is too shakey? OIS helps but won't fix shakey hand completely.
At the worst it should take about 2-3 seconds to focus. Manage to get consistently clear pictures. If you update past 4.4.2 and still experience an issue, you've got a problem.

Has anyone had any experience at filming stills or video, underwater with any of the z series xperia phones.
When I tried filming underwater with my z3, the touch screen didn't seem to like the water and kept exiting the camera app.
Is there a way of locking the screen or a setting I've missed to stop the screen being activated by the water?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
There is a small app called touch block that stops the water activating the touch screen.
Ah OK thanks for that pal.
Sorry if I'm being stupid but I only seem to be able to turn the touch block on before taking a video or pic. So while it's activated I can't take a pic or video. Do I use the camera button on the side of the phone.?

Check the settings of the camera app - there is an option to lock the touchscreen.

It's a waterproof phone but it's not an underwater phone in the first place. Yeah, the process is cumbersome but at least it's there. I don't think this is meant to be used on a daily basis.

Jesus some people will complain about anything!
The touchscreen doesn't work underwater so they created a touch-lock feature and provided a hardware shutter button. How are you still moaning? How often are you taking underwater photos and videos for this to be genuinely 'cumbersome'?
In any case a physical camera button is much better for taking photos generally anyway

Just received XZP from SONY store, Out for a small trip today ,take pictures for family, all the pictures are distorted, only the head in the middle is slightly normal, but the body still twisted.
See attachment photos the head around the lens surrounding site all the irregular distorted .
this is not a simple wide-angle distortion but a rare irregular distortion.Try to shoot real person in different angles, the problem will be more serious then the attachment screen take photos , you simply can not choose one normal photos
Is this issue can fix by the update ???
XZS forum are the same problems have been 2 months still no fix !
Now seems the whold world xzp is the same problem, the flat shooting distortion is not the main problem, just for your reference .The main problem is the three-dimensional scene, when shooting three-dimensional scene will enhance the perspective several times, seriously beyond the reach of the human eye perceived acceptance , also seriously beyond the distortion of other mobile phones,The closer result you get will distortion more, No matter how you compose, how to adjust the distance and shooting angle,As long as leaving the center little center area, all will be serious distortion,again seriously beyond the distortion of other mobile phones!see carefully all the picture in all pages from different users , Portrait photography and flat grid shooting.

Have Sony replied to you yet? It seems many users are experiencing this issue? It may be a early teething issue but it doesn't help that Sony haven't acknowledged this.
I'll be honest, I rarely, if at all, see people in this forum satisfied with Sony camera. I use a camera to take pictures and rely on my phone for calls, text, web etc.

Faulty unit maybe? Did you try another unit or try to change it with Sony?
Yeah, I am guessing faulty unit. I've seen like 7-10 reviews, and not one of those cameras has any issues from what I can tell. First thing I'll be doing when I get mine is snapping some shots to see if it's an issue with mine.
I am one from tieba and have seen the discussions of distortion here. It's ture to believe how sony could rarely make this ****ing mistake! It disappoint me at all. The time for dafa sparing no effort to resolve...

I took it to mean faulty device. Maybe the camera is mounted incorrectly or something. I would have it replaced by Sony.
Can anyone tell us what is the Camera app version in XZ Premium? (can be seen under Settings-->Apps-->Camera) I'm just curious.

What I meant get the phone replaced and see and when you're getting replaced do your testing and see if the distortion still persists. If it does that means something is wrong with the glass they're using and Sony should be aware of this matter.
And yes you can try a different camera app from play store to see if this is a software issue.

Precisely for all we know OP may just have a faulty phone. Until they get another & see if that's the same.
Is it a dual sim or single sim phone?
