unhappy with camera

[Mighty_X]

Hey new family!
Just brought my new z1 home, updated firmware and still Im totally unhappy with its camera. pictures are super blurry in auto and manual mode. Tested indoor with much daylight in the room... schould be more than plenty. My old galaxy s3 made way better pictures. Any suggestions? is it possible that i have a faulty model??

what mode are you shooting in?

this seems to make most difference.

there are threads about the camera already so in a nutshell - 8mp is better than 20mp for sharpness/clarity
scene - landscape or night if light is low

14.1.G.2.257 perfect image quality!

I think you should share some of your pics + the modes selected to us so that our recommendation would be more accurate

I like Manual + 20mp + ISO 100 or 50 + EV 1 or 2 notches up depending on the light... I also prefer using the dedicated shutter button so that your hand is more stable... for moving objects (or very shaky hands) higher the ISO the less the blurriness but more noise...

8mp manual mode is the best and there's definitely some trouble with the autofokus.

auto focus problem is found in all sony phones.. from xperia S to Z1...i m a long sony user...actually sony software is a mess

I have not a problem with my camera. auto focus and flash does not work when its automatic mode in the night. Just flash and picture is dark
Right?

then either my camera is broken or i am doing something wrong i tried both manual and auto in a well lit room

zooming in on anything makes a noisy mess

This was just a quick snap using superior auto, which isn't the greatest mode but that is absolutely fine to me.

I'd get it looked at

what are the lighting conditions in this shot? how far away was the can from the camera?

I can see the noise in the background. Also, the MON and ER are a but blurry. Other that that, the picture is ok - nothing spectacular.

I can't wait to try the camera out when I get the phone.

Mid morning with a window behind me, can was about 8-12 inches away.

Focusing on the can would make the background a little blurred

Looks fine for those conditions albeit a bit grainy. Nothing to cry over really. I just got mine today but unfortunately the c6906 doesn't have the latest firmware yet. I'll do some test shots after I get off work to see what the the fuss is about.
