I just tried this and yes. It's in mine too. Grrrr
After a few tries, I can only get it to show if I use the flash. Maybe it's just a flash issue?

Yep, I have this problem too.

Is this issue fixed? I'm guessing AI mode caused this (if that makes sense)
I've ordered Honor Play 4GB variant India which will be delivered on 4th Oct 2018 Sunday.
Starting to regret my choice.

Makes no sense that it's connected to ai, no. How could it? You can safely ignore the muppets on that other forum ("maybe you have a mark on your jeans" lol!)
It happens with me with Open Camera so it's not even related to the stock camera app. I used to have a sony z3 and that camera added a pink blob in the middle. I just don't think phone manufacturers test their stuff properly.

Oh cool ! Thanks for the reply.
Got any tips for a new Honor Play user ?

I only see it when I use the flash, on items close to the lens, so I'm wondering if it's taking the image slightly sooner than it should do?
It seems like and it's the actual flash LED glow that's causing the spot?
If it took a millisecond longer to take the pic, the LED glow wouldn't get picked up by the image sensor?
Just a theory.

No, because for me it happens (I can see the shape) when i've not yet taken the shot so there's no flash, focus light etc. And the shape - it's a rotated square.
It is odd, because I can't get it to occur on every photo. It does seem easiest on trousers! Perhaps it's supposed to be a watermark that's much less visible.
If you only pretend to use your phone camera and instead use a proper camera, like huawei do (https://petapixel.com/2018/08/20/huawei-caught-faking-smartphone-photos-with-a-dslr-again/) then you won't have this problem.

[Q] Soft skin bug in Camera

Have you tried it guys? When capturing images from front camera, the viewer shows a sharpened view. But when captured, it becomes soft even the "soft skin" feature is disabled. When you try to capture it with soft skin on, it has no difference.

I have only just purchased my Z3 Compact and am experiencing the exact same problems with the front facing camera. Is this a defect with my handset? My wifes Z2 used to do the same and we returned it for a LG G3.
I really dont want to return this phone as otherwise it seems really good but if this is a 'normal' feature of the phone i cant believe reviews didnt pick up on this and i would have to return it for a refund. Every review that i have come across seems to suggest the camera is very good but i have seen this problem highlighted on another website too.
Is there a way to turn this post processing feature off?
Any help will be kindly appreciated. Thanks
This is definitely a software bug. The outcome is the same with "Soft Skin" option enabled and disabled.
Hopefully Sony Fixes it in the upcoming updates.
I've also noticed that its only occurring in photos. When you capture video it is sharp.
same here, we all should mail sony about that issue, otherwise they will ignore that.

Lollipop update has not fixed this.. How ****ing hard can it be sony? :silly:

Horrible camera on snapchat

Hi guys is there any fix about p20 pro camera in regard with the snapchat, yes, I am aware almost all android phone snapchat screenshots the phone and does not use the phone real camera before sending it to somebody. I have the same problem with s9 plus thought Huawei would be better, my friends iPhone X works perfectly fine as with all phones because when you take a picture from the iPhone It sends the image from the camera not a screenshot
I have also this problem.
We need to wait for an update I guess.
I'm afraid your only option at this point is a pixel 2. Only android phone I know of that can send the proper photo because the app can tap into the visual core
I wondered why the pics looked so bad from snapchat. I never knew it was a screenshot of a photo rather than the proper photo. Hope it gets fixed.

Xperia 1ii camera capture textbook

Anyone have any settings to capture textbook from Xperia 1ii main camera?
Using main camera (24mm) capture will have this 'water effect', which other area have some blur effect.
Using wide camera (16mm) kind of eliminate the effect, but no flash available.
Using other apps doesn't help.
There might be a defect in your camera. With mine, all text is sharp

Hi Sho-Bud, can show some examples?
A lot people say that the big sensor will cause this "bokeh" effect.
I'm newbie in this camera thing.
Can someone show some example using 24mm main camera and snap texts.
Appreciate the help, thanks.
I tried to upload a file, but the forum says that the file is too big, can you sent a private message with your email address, so I can send it directly to you?
Sure you can send it direct to me [email protected].
Appreciate the samples, thanks a lot.
Thanks @Sho-Bud, I received your email.
And seems like your picture also having soft edges.
I think this is common for a big aperture camera sensor. (Google the whole night just to understand the camera thing ).
Below are 2 comparison for 24mm and 16mm (ultrawide) camera, notice the soft edges on 24mm.
I don't mind using the 16mm, but it has no flash light option available.

Question Camera preview different to actual photo

Hi guys. Anyone else have an issue whereby the colors in the photo preview are rich and vibrant and then the captured photo is flat and horrible? Happens in social media apps as well as the main camera. But only with photos not videos. Any ideas? Before and after attached.
The first one looks way oversaturated especially the red channel.
Clear system cache and cam data.
Probably has to do with settings but could be the firmware is displaying previews in vivid display mode.

Tbh I wouldn't mind if it displayed the second image, but I don't want two different results. I want whatever I'm looking at to be the taken photo. I'll try that thanks.
Does yours do this if you have the same phone?

That first image is a screen shot?
I have Note 10+'s. I only use the preshot image to set up, frame, AF lock, exposure, etc a shot.
After decades of shooting the final result is all that matters to me. I find shooting with smartphones to be generally annoying.

Question "Ultra wide shape correction" no longer relevant??

Anyone else experiencing this issue after updating to One UI 4? https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001426/
Went to take photos for the first time in a while yesterday, and all the photos using the main lens were distorted and stretched, making us look like Coneheads in portrait mode. Wasn't an issue before, but now it is. Weirdly, what I assume is an option for the wide lens is now no longer "relevant". Any thoughts?
Yes, this has been bugging for so long now.. the main lens photos are so distorted !!
Did you find any workaround ?

The issue described in the website link is for pictures taken with the wide angle lens.
Are you seeing the issue on all of your lenses, or only certain lenses?
You mentined using the main lens. Can you test it with other lenses?
