Anyone else having an issue with pink tint in the default camera app? If I knock the saturation back one level it seems to be fine. But set on default saturation it makes anything with even a hint of red in certain kinds of light turn bright pink.
Try this

Ok try this turn camera on focus on something white to see if u have pink spot . If so wave you hand slowly in front of the camera and let the camera focus on your hand and repeat until pink is gone
Gave that a shot. It appeared to help while I had the camera focused on the page. Using the camera again though and on default saturation it's still coming out pink. I'm wondering if this is a software issue or a hardware one. Have to decide by the 28th if I should go back and exchange this phone for another.
From my experience every HTC unit I have used does this in low light situations . But you can try to exchange and see if it helps.

That was what I was wondering. If this was an issue with my unit or if other people were having the same experience. When the lighting is good the tint does go away, for now keeping the saturation down one level seems to do the trick.
I have the same problem taking pictures oudside, with bright lighting. I take pictures of my chickens, and their heads look magenta, not red. I just lowered the saturation and took a test photo inside, and it seemed to help a bit. I have only had the phone for a week, and with the exception of the magenta chickens, I like the phone.
Mine does it too. My hunch is that its not a defect, and its never actually occurred to me that it might be. So I haven't compared with other HOX's to see if its a defect or not. I seems like its intentionally oversaturated by HTC to make the colors look more vivid. It usually looks ok. But sometimes it makes people's faces look like they have a ton of pink blush on their faces. I don't personally think its a low light issue. Seems to sometimes appear in sunlight too. But bright sunlight tends to wash out colors, so the pinks and reds are often not there to begin with (especially on faces), so there is nothing to oversaturate.
I remember in the sample photos taken with the phone and released by HTC before the phone was even released, and thinking they all looked really artificially oversaturated.
Had to use my transformer in the sun today and all went well. After arrviging at home I restarted the device and I saw overblown white lighting on the right left and top bottom side. Although you can only really see it with a dark background this thing is really annoying, I didn't do anything wrong like leaving my transformer in the sun or stuff like that.
So is this software or display related? If its the later I am going to return it to Asus and asking for a new display, because otherwhise I really love this beauty almost replaced my casual everyday work notebook.
How big and bright is it? If you're seeing it only on dark backgrounds, it sounds like it's light leak; which is pretty common on these types of LCD panels. I think the spot has always been there and now you notice it. Being out in the sun had nothing to do with it.
While light leakage is considered common, we can replace the panel under warranty if it's severe enough.

Thank you, I have tried to make a screenshot but it just doesn't show the lights, so I am going to try it using my handycam tomorrow, will update this thread then and post it here.
Yeh take a photo with a camera. A screen shot will not be able to show the light leak since it's the actual panel that's affected and not what's on the display.

Sorry went on vacation for 2 weeks, did a photo but it still sucks so Iam going to try it with a digicam later today, trickier than I first thought
Got my Z3 a couple of days ago (wife as well) and when either of us take a picture in an indoor, low light situation the picture is always foggy looking. In fact, even in very low light if the flash goes off, the picture is foggy looking. Anyone else experience this or have any thoughts? Really irritating. Pictures are great looking if no flash though (on both phones).
Yep, same here and tried everything...this camera is why I bought it, and it sucks compared to my Lumia 920

I haven't used flash yet but I read somewhere that manual mode reduces this fog effect. i'm guessing it's some sort of lens flare? Try playing with the different scene modes and settings.
Same issue with mine. Been working all week on it and cannot get a good picture inside
Same, swapped first one out only to find this has the same issue, thought i was the only one

Need some examples, really. Are you using a case on your phone? Try without. Try a few different modes (auto, manual etc) and see if there's a pattern.
Manual mode and changing iso up seems to allow for better pics.
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes same problem already talked about in depth, try manual mode, keep the ISO as low as possible with the flash, in fact if the object is more than 5m away, then the flash will not really do much, turn it off and increase the ISO
I had the same Problem, and after testing if it was the case or the Glascover, because sometimes the
Pics were foggy and sometimes not.
Some of the Glas Cover makes Reflextions on to the Lens but the worse
are the Fingers on the left Side of the Phone, when you make pics in landscape.
The Finger on the left Top makes so many Reflections to the lens that the Imgages becomes
foggy.
When you make a Pic and hold the Phone in the middle, than all the Pics with Flash are good,
You can test it by yourself in Automodus or Manuell.

Same issue
Has anyone managed to find a workaround for this??
I'm having the same issue and not sure what to do.
Thanks,
I just got my Z5 Compact today and obviously I tested the camera out ASAP. I can't lie... It kind of bothers me and to me it's quite obvious. It's right in the top left corner but it's quite strong. I got it from Amazon, should I ask for a replacement or should I send it to Sony for a repair? I'm from the UK. I've attached the photo below:
Please take a pic of a book or some normal object. It's already been explained... monitors can cause distorted pics.

My bad. Here is two pics:
Let me know if I should retake them.
I can see some corner blurriness on the top left and the bottom left. I'm not sure it really bothers me though.
Should I return and get a brand new device or should I try and get Sony to repair it?
Could you rotate the camera 180 degrees and take the same pics again. That should verify it.

The way i see it, it's not a big problem. It's a common wide lens issue. If i'm on your position, i'll just keep the phone as it is. others result might be sharp from edge to edge, but it is really a narrow lens.
it seems you have a problem, your photos give an idea that there is a displacement of elements of the camera module, because the right side is blurred little less than it should be, and the left side is blurred more than it should be. I, I think almost perfectly semetrichno blurry right and left, later lay out a photo, and you can put the photo Made in so: put your phone camera at the table, or close the lens and take a picture in auto mode, photos need to do so that you can see the blue noise, it is a hypothesis, where it has been, and I think this can be judged from the defect. Please upload pictures, I have to see it, it can give more understanding of the problem for me, for you and for all.
To be able to detect the blurr properly, you need to have your phone leveled properly when taking the picture, for example in most of your pictures you take them from a weird angle, like from up to down, or from down to up, you need to take the photo exactly in the front leveled to the same angle as the monitor/book or whatever.
I hope you know what i mean.

No problem. "DSC_0377" is the rotated picture. Thank you for helping me with this issue.

I'm not sure it really bothers me, I will only notice it when I look for it and sometimes it doesn't look as severe as other pictures. Also by looking at the camera lens it DOES seem pretty much straight. I probably will not go through the hassle of returning/repairing. Maybe I will try to get it repaired near the end of it's warranty (a year in the UK I think).

No worries, I don't think I understood 100% what you said but I put the phone face down on my table and took a picture. There's more light coming from the bottom left but I think that is where the flash is located. If there are any other tests I can conduct for the community please let me know :good:
Pictures:
(1st one - "DSC_0375" is taken normally)
(2nd one - "DSC_0377" is taken upside down)
(3rd one - "DSC_0376" is the one requested by vyshgorado)
Thank you guys for helping a guy out!
EDIT: I'm not sure why the first picture is upside down... on my desktop it is the correct way up.

Ah yeah I think I know what you mean. Basically have the phone level? If the above photos are not good enough then I'll retake them, thank you for the advice though.

It's not something that would necessarily bother me but it's clearly annoying you. I'd take it to a Sony store.

I took a look at both pics, and there is a bit of corner blurring in both. But I can't say if that's actually a lens problem or just do wind, lighting conditions, hand movement, etc. Normally, the problem shows up only on one side, so when the phone is rotated, the blurring should have followed. It doesn't look like that is what is happening here.
Okay, so I need you to do another, more conclusive, test. Take a pic indoors, where you have good lighting. Set the camera on a stand/mount/wall - something that will hold it steady (no hand-held pics, please), and use the self-timer, so you don't have to physically touch the phone. Then take the same pic using the timer, rotating it 180 degrees.
Basically, I need a couple of comparison pics where I can rule out any other external factors. Take a pic of some objects at, say, 2m to 4m away (or 5 to 10 ft). Blank wall is no good, as there isn't any details to see blurring. If you have time, take a few sets of pics of different objects/background. Makes it a bit easier to judge with more data.

Cool, sorry I've been a bit busy, it's probably going to be impossible for me to do this in natural sunlight as by the time I leave work it's already dark!

Hi there, ur advice is apreciated, but dont u think that any fone sitting on a stand with a superior lighting conditions will get the pic 100% right ?
In my case m not having any distortion but rather lots of blurr, and i think the reason for this is bcuz once u snap the pic it takes abt 1 sec to 1.5 sec to fully take the pic.

Woah, calm down bre.
Ok here are some pics
Ok, thought I'd upload some photos.
I'm not a pro
Just an average joe.
They were all done with superior auto.
I don't think I have the blurring issue due to the misaligned lens.
Low light performance is an absolute abomination though (I don't have any because I delete them) Does anyone want to share camera settings with me that allows for decent low light performace?
Hi, I think I have a big problem with camera on my s8+. There's an yellow/white/green dot moving around the screen while taking picture during sunny day. It occurs also when taking pictures of any artificial lights. I've attached a video sample and picture below. Does anyone else experienced that? Should I ask for replacement from EE as I only have just received the device?

That's a lens flare. Seems like the lighting conditions at that time were causing it.
Just to verify, using artificial light (example, indoors brightly lit), do you have the dot? If not, it is simply lens flare.
If it is present with any light, just get an exchange, perhaps there is a defect in yours that causes the reflection.
side note: do you have any skin/case/whatever that may be adding to the reflections around the cam?
Nope, no skins, no cases. Was hoping that there is a plastic film on the lense, but there isn't. Or maybe there is?
It also happens with artificial lights, pictures below.
It doesn't happen with my Nexus 6p so if it's "just lens flare", like you said, I'm just gonna cancel my contract and wait for Pixel2. I can't accept anything like that from the device worth that much of money.

That isn't normal then, get an exchange.
Did you ever resolve this? I have the same problem with my new S8+
It's a reflection of whatever light source is facing the camera mine do3s it to. I will find a pic and post as well
Don't take pics facing light source.
