ripradh91 — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 19:05:21 GMT

Hi all

Ive got a Z5 Premium and ive noticed that when i use flash, any blacks in my pictures come out with a green tint

Ive attached a photo so you can see

Is my camera broken or is this a software problem?

Thanks

I can't see the picture just yet until it gets approved, does your phone has a protective case, or film or anything near the camear lens/flash?

My camera on the z5C is making a large green patch when using the flash. This has started after the last android update it would seem.

See photo attached.

I'm also a victim of " Green Tint" below the screen on my pics.

1. No case on the phone

2. No visible Scratches on the lens

This seems like a software issue can Sony do something about it.

It happens when applying Flash on lowlight invironment.

Please help

Same here,

Not sure if it has anything to do with it but my phone is yellow.

To me it looks like light from the flash hits the camere sensor from the side.

So some sort of light leak inside the casing.

Do you have any scratches on the lens? or is the flash LED obscured by the frame and not completely visible? you should see the yellow LED component square entirely through its window

you're all taking photos while the device is landscape right?

haze on bottom means LED is below shutter - device is rotated, haze on left means device upright

there's a picture in this thread that will give a similar issue when using tempered glass that isn't aligned properly

@Leekay81

post a picture from the side so we can see the lens, make sure to take it as close as possible (to the lens)

i had tint with some cases (i got black z5c)

now its fine, ( when really dark you some do see the flash but manual mode can fix this)

I have the same issue and have even tried replacing the outer lens cover to get rid of dust etc. Same issue remains.

I think it is a problem with the way light comes in and reflects as i have the problem in DAYLIGHT when the sun is shining from certain directions. It can be dealt with by using my had as a visor.

However this is truly disappointing as i had bought this phone for its camera abilities and found that my Blackberry performed better. Go figure.
