Huawei Mate 8 camera takes blurry pictures - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi every one.
I bought Mate 8 3GB RAM (32GB) today.
Every thing looks fine but the camera disturbed me.
Photos that it takes are very bad (too blurry). but Photos from the close object are ok and it seems that the problrm is the focus and it can't do it well.:crying::crying::crying::crying:
What is the problem? Hardware OR Software?
Now it's updating to B162 (From B103) and i hope it fix but nothing mentioned about the camera.(Can this update fix it?).
Thnx a lot.

Yes. update should fix it.

But it didn't.
Nothing special happened on B162.

I tried Google camera app and I had the same problem.
Is that Hardware Problem??
:crying:

Can Any One tell me it's a SOFTWARE problem or HARDWARE ???
It's bothering me.
thnx a lot.

IMHO these results are not normal at all, there's more than a software problem, like something over the lens...

Yep. This is pretty clearly something that software cannot fix. Hardware problem and I would say it is related to autofocus. Take it to service.

I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue. I suggest you take it to the service center for repair or replacement.

While you are taking pictures how is the image on the phone screen: is it blurred too or does it look normal?

No deference between the taken photo and live on the screen.

Thanks you all for the replies.

If you have nothing covering the lens, then IMHO there is definitely a hardware issue...
Contact the support service to possibly get a replacement.

Camera pink purple tint on pictures and videos

Just found out that the pictures have a purple tint on it. Mostly visible on black.
Can someone test their camera if it has the same issue. Maybe I have faulty device.
Has this always been there or has it recently started?
Edit: what I mean is that has the purple tint recently appeared, or was the first picture you ever took had this purple tint.
I checked some photo's taken when I just bought the phone and the tint is there.

Tried several camera apps already, still the same.
It's not always that purple like my photo in the opening post, but there is always some white, light pink tint in the center of the pictures. And only visible on dark subjects.

No, but I will. I just have been on these forums for forever. And I know my cells...lol.
I hope someone else can also do a camera test. Otherwise I have to go through the hassle of buying another device to do a test myself. Really liking this device, so I want to keep it.

Nope, mine seems ok.
Does it feels hot around the camera? The HTC M7 had purple tint sometimes after a long use.
I think you should contact Honor

It does feel hot. But I don't think that's it, because it is like this from cold start.

We're terribly sorry to hear that your pictures are having a purple tint. We advise that you shut off your device for 15-20 seconds. This should refresh your phone and your camera app. If that doesn't work, we advise giving our Honor Support Team a call at 1-844-524-6667 for further troubleshooting steps. (ED)
It's a hardware issue, return it and claim a replacement
I will see what I can do.
So is it a hw issue or software?!

Hope it's a software issue....if not, more than likely there will be other bugs. I would definitely bring it back and have them exchange it. There never should be purple tints on pics on a new device.

Normally, it should be a software issue, but if it persists even with a factory reset, then I'll consider bringing it back

XZP camera has serious distortion issue

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.
see photo and specific in this link :
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ-Premium/XZP-camera-has-serious-distortion-issue/td-p/1232765
In sony mobile forum this post was deleted by Moderator for unbelievable reason when more people go to feedback problems ,After a lot of user protest why del the post , now they restore,but the main text and the first page have been modified and remove, also lot's users reply has been edited or delete by moderator, I repost in Message page 2. (link page)Take a closer look at the pics in page 2,4,15,18 ,especially portrait and real life photos ,that is the issue you can not avoid from your XZP camera ,whether you adjust any angle, distance,composition,height. ( not here ,see the link page)
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?

Oh ok, good luck.
It's the T-Mobile software has to be. I'm using global op9 unlocked and love the hassleblad cam. And on latest 1.2.5.5
There's no optical image stabilization on this phone like everything else on the market.
Photos have been great for me. Sounds like a hardware issue. Yeah, no OIS, but unless you're shaking a lot, it should not be blurry.
