Pink spot with xperia z3 compact camera

Hi everyone !
I want to report an issue about the camera in the Z3 compact. It's not just me but a lot of people who has it.
There is a pink spot in the center of the pictures I take, it's easy to see when it's a white background.
Is it a software (white balance) or a hardware problem ?
Thanks !

Yes I've seen this reported also and the only advice we can give is for you to return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/support/contact-us/

    Hi, I just got my z3 less than a week ago, today I notice pink spot with the camera and all the photos I take. Is this a software issue or should I take it to sony a.s.a.p? Sample photo:

  • Xperia Z3 Compact camera error when starting from locked screen (symbol lock)

    Hi
    I'm a new owner of Xperia Z3 Compact and I have noticed a problem when launching camera. The app itself works perfectly well but when trying to launch camera from locked phone (screen locked with symbol) it shows only black screen with error message that camera app it unaccessible. After removing lock screen protection both camera symbol on lock screen and dedicated camera button works as intended. Is it supposed to be that way? On my previous phone I could launch camera app without unlocking screen but couldn't access any other parts of the phone. I'd love to have it working the same way here especially with the dedicated camera button.
    Hoping for a fast answer. 
    Regards

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Xperia z1 compact camera

    i have heard that the camera on the z1 compact is a bit slow, is this true, and is the phone worth getting if the camera is my main reason for getting the phone. thanks

    I bought the Sony Xperia Z1 compact for the camera as much as the phone and regret it. It could well be down to user error on my part but I can't find many of the options supposedly available in the marketing information. The  instructions in the user guide are incomplete if you are trying to resolve something - the manual mode is supposed to have an autofocus option whereby you touch the screen until the yellow box goes blue but on my phone you touch the screen and absolutely nothing happens whatsoever. Perhaps there are some other settings elsewhere that are required but personally I just don't know. I expected the camera to work like any normal digital SLr or camera phone that I have had in the past but it seems that this is not the case.
    The camera is also locking up after one or two shots. If you contact Sony Support by email you wait two days and then get a reply suggesting you need to reset the phone and repair the software. They say that any user information may be lost and any such data should be backed up but there are no instructions on how to do this and what exectly will be lost is not specified. Again down to lack of understanding on my part but if you are in a similar position, don't bother with the phone. If you are an expert then you may fare better than me but that's for you to decide.
    As part of the repair process, the instructions I received and that you have to perform yourself, add that any apps previously downloaded should not be re-downloaded for 48 hours and only one app should then be re-downloaded in each subsequent 24 hour period and tested against the camera just in case there is a conflict between the app and the camera. Since I have only downloaded 5 or 6 apps since getting the phone a couple of months ago this will not be too much of an issue BUT if you had downloaded 14 apps you would have to wait over two weeks to get the phone back to how it was.
    I expected the phone to be sorted out for me by Sony. When you pay the best part of £400 for a phone with a camera that doesn't appear to work, I didn't expect to have to fix the problems with it out myself. Good luck is deciding what to - it seems to be a complete minefield out there.

  • Compatible LED notification apps with Xperia Z1 Compact

    Hello please can someone tell me if there are any LED notification apps that are compatible with the Xperia Z1 compact. I have got LEDBlinker Lite installed at the moment but it will not allow me to personalise it with LED's for each person in my contacts just for generic incoming texts, emails etc. Thanks

    Try Ligh Flow,see how it works.

  • Xperia z1 compact camera lens seem gt stain.

    what it is? is there any coating on the lens and is this caused by the coating coming off? will it affect my photo shooting quality?it only show up when the camera lens reflect light. i dunno wat it is pls tell me. i just noticed it just now. my camera lens was fine and perfect in the past.

    Hi, this looks like a mark or partial 'rubbing off' of the  UV-A filter... (bluish tint foliage) have read of some people removing it completely but it's there for a reason so i would contact your local Xperia Care Centre....link below.......good luck

  • Outlook calendar and contacts sync limits with Xperia Z1 Compact

    I have just set up my Xperia to sync with Outlook Calendar and contacts- took a while to realise outlook calendar needed to be closed to work, however now that I am able to sync my calendar and contact, I am only able to sync some of the items in my contact and the calendar updates to my phone only sync for a few months.  Is there an option on this phone or in PC Companion where I can sync all calendar and contact entries, or somewhere that limits entries that I can switch off?

    There was a setting I hadn't found in the PC Companion software:
    On the start sync page there is a settings heading next to a spanner on the righthand side - this takes you to sync settings
    Select Personal Data Selection and then the properties button for Calendar
    You can then set the sync to select all your appointments or a subset.
    I hope that this helps someone - it has taken hours to find this setting!

  • Sony STM10 and Xperia Z3 Compact

    Are Sony STM10 microphone compatible with Xperia Z3 Compact? BRMichael

    Even though Sony has been extremely vague and uninformative regarding product conformity and publishing (ANY) information regarding this product, I can assert that the STM10 does in fact work with my Xperia z3 Compact.  I am still reviewing this microphone and will continue to post into this relevant thread so that other customers do not experience a profound lack of consumer information as I did. Pros1. 5pin provides advanced functionality, which appears to facilitate native interaction with the Z3C phone2. Very nice performing microphone for the price, no really....  verified with low volume operation, very high quality recordings.  Note *at this point, Hight SPL operation (IE: Loud Concert Situations) remain untested.3. its possible to point the microphone in the direction of the 2megapixel camera but some angles may enter the frame (this is an acceptable and unavoidable compromise in my view) Cons*Stay Tuned... So far so good. 

  • Pink spot in center of screen when taking photos with iphone 3G camera

    I've been having a problem with my phone recently. When trying to take pictures using the camera software (or other photo apps) i have a pink spot in the middle of the screen. I've searched and seen other on other sites other cameras have the same issue and has been advised as being a problem with software.
    I've restored the iphone to factory and still have the problem. Updated to the latest firmware and done pretty much everything i can think of to resolve the issue. So basically wondering if other people have had this issue and if there's any possible fix for this?
    Thanks.

    If issuer persist after restore as new iPhone then it indicates a hardware issue and next step would be processing hardware repair through the channels provided to you in your country.

  • Rear camera pink spot / white balance issue

    Pink spots are most apparent in auto and fluorecent white balance modes.
    Not apparent in cloudy and daylight white balance modes.
    Does anyone else have this issue?
    Firmware version 17.1.1.A.0.402
    Production date 14w11

    1. Lens is clean.
    2. Lens is not scratched.
    3. Nothing is blocking the lens. There is no LED flash on the tablet. Please do some research about a device before trying to give any advice.
    4. I have searched about the problem on Google, and found several topics about mobile devices from other brands, with the exact same issue. For some of those devices, the issue had been reduced or resolved with a software update:

    You might find that posing this question in the iPhoto column is more suitable.   Not to say people here don't know about cameras but those who live with them tend to reside there.  If you're lucky, you might get Terence Devlin or Old Toad.

  • Can't pair Xperia Z1 Compact with JBL Charge

    Hi,
    I can't pair my Xperia Z1 Compact with the JBL Charge (via bluetooth)...
    When I turn on bluetooth, the JBL Charge doesn't pop up in the list of available devices.
    If I try to do that with the Iphone I don't have no problem. The JBL Charge pops up and I can connect directly.
    Why doesn't see the Z1 compact the JBL Charge?
    Regards, Lars

    I just did pair them successfully, after a looong press on the JPB's on botton.
