Misaligned camera fault??

I noticed on my new Z2 that all the photos were slightly slanted.  This is esecially noticiable on landscape shots or when placing the phone on a flat suraface.       I updated the software but this did not fix it.    I sent it off for repair with Vodafone, a week later the phone was returned with 'job details' which say that they had updated the software and solved the issue.   The idiots at vodafone who are dickin about with people's phones, clearly don't know what they're doing as they retuedn my phone still with the slanted image fault.    I have since sent my phone directly to Sony, Kent, UK.  Hopefully they'll understand the issue but I have a feeling that this fault is unique and may return it like Vodafone did. 
Has anyone here come across this fault before?   is this smemthign to do with the camera chip/lense.
Thank you

Hi there
Thanks for all the replies.   i've sent the phone off to Sony in Kent,UK for repair and unfortuantly don't have any shots to show you.  I do however remember my partner pinch zooming in on her face on a shot I took, and saying that it looked distorted.
To explain the problem in other terms, if you place my phone and another Z2 on a flat surface and switch on the cameras, mine will show a slanted image, the other will not.    Trying to account for the slant by rotating the phone is hit and miss and cropping after taking the shot is unacceptable.
I tried do descibe the issue using the online support form when sending off my phone but I think the character limit pn the form didn't do me any favours.   Is there a way to contact my support centre to make sure they fully understand the problem.   i don't want them to do what Vodafone did and inconvenience me further.

  • N82 Camera Fault Please Help...

    Dears:
    I recently bought N82 Middle East version, from I2 dealer in Jordan with 2 years guarantee.
    I noticed a severe victory fault in the camera.
    A huge amount of green and pink noise filled the LCD and appeared in the token films and photos too.
    Some times this noise disappear or decrease after a while of using camera.
    Now I’m in Syria and I asked I2 dealer to replace my mobile with a new one if it was a hardware fault, because I don’t appreciate the idea of repairing my new device. It wont be new any more.
    Is this a software or a hardware issue?
    Do you have an advance information about this fault?
    I would appreciate a quick replay.
    Thank you Very much.

  • Camera Fault

    Is anyone else experiencing a fault with their camera on the new phone?
    Initially everything was fine with the camera, but now im getting different coloured bands (blue & green) across the screen when in camera mode.
    I have tried a restart, reset and a restore, but non have solved the problem.

    I had the same problem with the 2G model right out of the box. I took it back to Apple and they replaced it on the spot, no questions asked.

  • IPad 2 camera fault

    I travelled some distance yesterday to visit my nearest Apple store to seek help. The camera on my iPad 2 stopped working a while ago and I have been waiting for a chance to go to get it fixed. I was so disappointed when I got there as they told me it was a very rare hardware problem that they could not fix and that I had been unlucky with purchasing a duff one. I was even more upset to learn that my warranty had run out as I purchased my iPad in June last year and it was no longer covered for a replacement. They said they would sell me a factory iPad for £199 with 90 days warranty which is in a brown box and apparently used for quote "service repairs". I dd not accept this and now therefore am left with a 14 month old iPad 2 which has no camera for me to take photos of my precious granddaughter. Anyone out there had a similar experience?  Any advice or suggestions or should I just put it down to a bad Apple experience!

    What you are calling a "bad" Apple experience is not really true. It may be your perception - but IMO - you are being unfair.
    If the camera stopped working"a while ago", it was your responsibility to find a way to get to Apple for a repair/replacement before the warranty expired. As far as I know - no company on Earth offers a one year warranty with a clause that states - "if it is inconvenient for you to get here before the warranty expires  we will  extend the warranty period for you".
    You knew the terms of the warranty - plain and simple. Why do so many people expect Apple to do things that are above and beyond what the manufacturer's warranty states. Please don't make excuses or tell me that  the device is so expensive because none of that has any bearing on this. You had a one year warranty and you let the warranty run out.

  • HD camera fault?

    Recently my iPhone 4s camera has started showing "ghost" images around the main item in the photo. I've even tried turning off the HD image and using the big standard one, but it's still showing on this now. Anyone help?

    Hey!
    I actually figured it out (you were on the right track with multi-tracking).
    Here is what you do:
    1. Right click the audio file and select "Insert Channels into New Multitrack File".
    2. Delete the track in the "Audio 3" channel as it should be empty.
    3. Select audio from "Audio 1" channel and just COPY + PASTE -- it should now appear in the "Audio 3" channel.
    4. Copy the new audio track from the "Audio 3" channel.
    4. Delete the audio out of "Audio 1" channel and move the track from "Audio 3" in it's place.
    5. Delete "Audio 3" channel.
    6. Go back to your original file (in the upper right pane).
    7. Select all (CTRL + A) and delete the audio.
    8. Jump back to your New Multitrack File, select all (CTRL + A) and copy it (CTRL + C).
    9. Back to your video file now...and PASTE!
    There ya go!

  • A7M2 camera does not see lenses

    I have a Sony A7M2 (ILCE-7M2) camera with v1.20 firmware installed This fault began as an intermittent problem but is now permanent and the camera is unusable. The camera no longer recognizes any lenses when mounted - the aperture is shown as F- -   All other functions work. This is a camera fault as it is the same with any lens, Sony own lenses or third party lenses using an adapter (Metabones) I have updated the firmware, cleaned contacts on both body and lens, reset to factory defaults, exchanged batteries etc with no result. Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?

    Hi Baldsparrow,
    Welcome to the Sony Community!
    From what you've described and the troubleshooting that you did, I would recommend sending the camera in for service. 
    If you are located in the US, you may send it in to http://www.precisioncamera.com/.
    If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution". Thanks_Mitch

  • Iphone 5 pink hue screen

    I have a problem with  my iphone screen. Recently i saw pink screen with white frame.
    How can i solve the problem?

    Hey. Had the same problem myself. If you're in the uk, you in essence have a 6 year warranty based on this piece of EU consumer law. Apples website states it clearly:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warranty/
    They agreed to replace screen for free despite me being well outside my 1 year 'apple' warranty. Phone also had a camera fault (pink or blue blocks, crashing etc) so they gave me a new handset in the end, again based on this piece of consumer law.
    Hope that helps!

  • G15 - Blown highlights

    Hi,
    I'm really pleased with my Powershot G15 - great indoors in low light, great outdoors with blue skies but I have one problem which I need help with. Whenever I take an outdoor shot with an overcast all-white sky, the photo turns out terrible.
    The edge between the sky and the forground seems to bleed together and look foggy. On the LCD preview, the sky flashes, which I presume means it is too bright?
    Apologies - I'm an amateur and shoot on auto mode. Is this a camera fault, or do I need some help on using manual mode for this type of shot? Anything I can do to simply improve this type of shot? My camera phone seems to handle this scenario ok, so I imagine I should be able to get similar results with my G15?
    An example is attached. What can I do to improve the contrast around the tops of the trees? The sky looks really bright, it wasn't at all.
    Thanks for your help!
    Rob

    Get out of AUTO & into Program (or Tv or Av) & read your manual to learn about & how to change EXPOSURE COMPENSATION. It's how you correct (on the fly) lighting that fools the metering system.

  • Logitech Deluxe Webcam For Laptops

    I just recieved a logitech quickcam deluxe for for my iBook G4 and have been trying to run it with virtually every video chat - primarily skype though, and sometimes ichat. After about 10 seconds of running smooth, the frame will freeze and it won't come back. It will also lock up skype completely, where I can no longer access or quit the program. I've downloaded what I think are the most recent drivers from logitech (quickcam 801), as well as macam, and nothing seems to help. I tested out a friends quickcam which she uses on a pc, and it did the same thing. Is there any solution to this or are logitech products generally problematic with macs? If there isn't a solution, any recommendations for other webcams? I'd love to have the iSight but unfortunately I can't afford it.

    Hi Guys
    After reading a few forums,this weekend i took a chance and bought the logitech 9000.(The missus wasn't to happy for me to buy something without knowing it was going to work)
    On reading the inx and putting in the disc, i started to worry when it didn't recognise the disc. So went for the throat and just plug it in.
    Straight away it recognised it, a message from skype told me i could use it.
    Using it so far (Skype only)it works well. The picture is good, even in low light conditions.The microphone picks up fantastic from the other end of the room (16ft). No feedback issues, with the speakers on the tv (Philips ambilight) No one beleives the camera and mic are on the tv. And all are impressed with the picture. Grandma and Grandad can now see the Grandkids really well. Even when they go back and play with their toys.
    Obviously the software included can't be used cause the disc couldn't be read. Not sure if i can get this from the web, will try that next.
    My only other issue so far, and i'm not sure whether its the camera fault. But once i found i had a mic, i tried the speech recognition application but can't get it to work. It shows the mic working but doesn't recognise any commands.
    It might be my good old Essex accent!
    If anyone has any ideas pls shout.
    It did work briefly for one command, but now nothing.
    I think Logitech should address this issue of not showing it will work on macs. It's missing potentially a lot of possible business, especially for owners of mac mini's

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
