Hi all
I faced a very strange problem. Let go of the dead pixels, I am talking about the camera previewing the image very clear and OK. After the shot has taken place the photo is decorated with bright spots (red, blue..etc) sometimes 2, sometimes 5 it depends -I dont know on what. They are not present in the real view ofcourse. This is not dead pixels as they move and grow as I zoom in to the photo..Any similar encounters???? Or Advice. By the way, this is my second exchange from amazon. I asked them to send me a third unit.
when i see this pictures http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/nexusae0_wallpaper_01.jpg that show very well on samsung display and on my computer display on moto g display shows very bad, specially the red top right angle, ive taken a pic of my phone screen but dont looks good to understand fully what i mean, the red part is not smooth at all, its squared from different block of colors instead having the full gradients colors like in others displays, do your moto g show that pics fine or r u having the same problem?
this is the high res pic http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/nexusae0_wallpaper_01.jpg

Zoom that photo and you will see some different pixels some lighter some darker.
So please install a LCD TEST app from market and with green background make a photo with another device and post it here or feel free to say your opinion.
Please fast :d

The grainy displays are a very common characteristic of LG G Flex phones as they are Plastic OLEDs.
I dont know why this is more noticable in some phones than in other ones, but this happens to these displays.
Greetings guys, ive just bought the Xperia Z5 but for some reason there semms to be a problem with the lens, i am here to ask you if you can confirm this issue with your phone, i took a snapshot of my monitor and ive found out that the middle of the picture is of crispy clear quality, but as soon as i move a little to the left on the bottom part of the screen i find a blurr and if i move even further to the left the blurr is gone.
Is this normal? is there any hidden plastic stickers glued on the camera lens that i should remove?
Please take a minute to look at my pictures to help me understand if im missing something or it is really a defect unit, my version is REV2, android updated to latest firmware and camera settings cleared.
Both 20mp and 8mp pictures have this problem visible, due file size limitation ill only post the 8mp one with red arrows and text showing exactly where the blurr is:
8mp

EDIT: After the phone swap, the blurry picture is gone, now the image is crystal clear without any problems whatsoever:

Just have a conversation with Sony Xperia Support center. They would be in better position to answer your queries.

Xperia support might say "we need to take a look" but i dont want to send it to repair as if its defective i can just go to store and swap for a new one.
Please guys, i beg you to take a moment to relook at the photo, this time i added some arrows explaining the issue to be quicker and easier for you to see what im talking about and compare with yours.

Its not that the left side is blurred, it starts ok then blurrs then goes ok again.
Sorry, but the test doesn't prove anything. Probably unstable image from screen refresh and being hand-held. Try it with a real image - not a monitor - and set it on holder or tripod of some kind. Also don't zoom in so close... cameras have a minimum focal length. My initial impression is that it's not a problem with the Z5.
this is a flat TFT LCD DVI monitor, refresh rate doesnt work as you think they do on digital monitors with digital connections, only the area needing refreshing is actually refreshed rather than the entire screen like a CRT, and if my hands were shaking it was the entire picture that was going to be blurred and not just a tiny portion of the center picture, i also took several photos and the blurred area is exactly in the same spot no matter where i do it.
I just wanted to know if that blurry spot was normal on all phones but this does not semm to be true so ill have to replace mine today.

You need to take a landscape photo with focus mode set to infinty or touch to focus and touch the sky for a proper image to view if your camera lenses are decentered, has micro particles on the sensor lenses and/or lens cover is not 100% flat and clear. Could be any of those reasons, none or a mix. If you haven't dropped your phone or in any way damaged it then and have spots of bluriness then it might be factory faulty, either lenses, cover lens or a mix.
Though by looking at your photo I would doubt the lenses are decentered as it appears as soft spots in random places around focus place and doesn't look like decentered lens(es) as there is no "multi-step" ghosting. I would think the cover lens is warped or have spots, dirt smudging or on the sensor lens. But do try the above first. Remember to put the phone on something stable as you dont want any vibrations for test photos.

Sigh... I'm not going to get into an LCD display discussion. Try a real image with text like a book or a piece of paper. Don't get too close while taking the pic. Set the phone on a stable surface and use the self-timer. We're trying to diagnose the camera, not your monitor.

FYI, why it's not a good idea to use an LCD monitor to test a camera: PWM. Yes, LCDs can cause flicker, banding, distortion. That's not to mention flicker induced by room lighting on the monitor. So in summary, please do not use a monitor to test a camera.

I can see the wording of "how powerful" is blur. The word below it of "certain" also blur, as well as below it of "straightened out".
Both edge of left and right is also blur.
But still better you test with others object for example a wording from book/paper not the monitor.
Great news guys! swapped my phone at the store for a new one and here are the new results
http://postimg.org/image/fc6v40yvd/full/
Blurr free, YESS!! im so happy with my new phone now! With the old phone when i got at the store I even snapped a book text instead of a monitor text (taking into account what you guys tought about the monitor) to prove them that it was the lens fault and not just a bad photo and they seen the blurr exactly in the same spot of the camera lens no matter how many photos i took.
I came from samsung galaxy s6 very dissapointed that my phone had isocell instead of the sony imx240, isocell sensor (same of the galaxy s5) has way worse edge blurr than this phone and the details are soft all across the board, the only advantage of the isocell is in low light because of its OIS, but even then the colors are washed out and black is tinted as purple with iso ver 400, noise is visible more with xperia z5 than with isocell but the xperia z5 has much more sharp image and details in daylight come much clearer, overall i like this phone alot more than the galaxy s6.
Thank you all for your time guys, im a happy owner now and i when i get the chance ill do my best to help you with what info i can for the attention paid to my cry for help.
Cheers.
Sigh... i spoke too soon, this new phone has 6 dead pixels, what on earth is going on with Sony?
I guess I'm lucky then, I don't notice any blur in my pictures, or what do you guys think? https://goo.gl/photos/DneNpL8KVQtobykc7
Hi, I've just bought a used Lumia 1520 (about 1.5 years old). The phone's exterior is ok without much issue as well as the Window Phone 8.1 with the Denim update.
My problem is with the rear camera. It seems to not have the sharpness and detail that most user talk about. I'm not sure of the phone's history to begin with as I bought it off from through a middle-man.
Currently I'm using a LG G3 but will be given to my sister soon so I have to get another phone.
Back to camera. Whenever I start the camera, it will always give me blur/ pixelating/ noisy view on the screen.
In my LG G3, it looks so much cleaner and better.
When I took a photo, the full res image, 18~ megapixel one looks bad with all the noise and large pixels appear more often when zoomed in. (Btw 5 megapixel ones are very good)
It might have been with the PureView tech where the smaller 5 megapixel photo use whatever it can salvaged from the large 19 megapixel photo but is it supposed to be this blur and messy, even on this kind of resolution. I would expect to see more fine details and sharper photo but that's not the case here.
This is my first try on Window phone so i don't have much of a hands on knowledge with it aside from playing it for a while at a Window store. Even the cameras on other Window phone does not act like this from what i have experienced. Please forgive me on this long post but I hope that someone can shed some light to this problem. I would gladly provide more information if possible.
(FYI: I can't post the image link yet as I'm a newbie here so maybe in the comments???)
