Front Camera Clarity

Bansham — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 03:18:35 GMT

When I'm using the front camera as it saves the actual image doesn't seem to be as clear as the imagine on the screen itself. Also when using it in certain lighting conditions it seems very grainy. Anyone else have this issue?

Could you elaborate?

Once I've taken the picture the image quality seems to decrease and it makes the image seem a lot less sharp compared to what the image was on the screen when I took it. (Sorry i can't be clearer, hard to explain without showing you)

you could try this,

open the camera take a screenshot

then take the picture, compare them

btw are the photos taken on low light?

The screenshot seems like a clearer image to me? I don't know if this is normal?

That doesn't seem ok, you should contact your local Xperia Care

you could also try, settings > apps > all > camera > clear data > restart your phone

Turn off smoothing in the camera settings.

I have done but it doesn't seem to make a difference

xperia z3 dual front camera grainy

i have a problem with the front camera in z3 dual , it is too noisy when you are looking at the view finder but then when you take the picture it comes out with no noise.

Is this normal or I have a bad unit.
