I use an otterbox case for my Xperia Arc S, but this problem happens with or without the case, even without the battery back cover.
Whenever I take a picture with flash, there's a part of the camera that doesn't capture the picture properly.
These two pictures will explain it better
Without flash ---------------- With.

And it can take up to the half of the pic aswell
You see how a part of the screen blacks out, so yeah, if I flip the phone and take the photo, the black thing will appear at the TOP of the picture, so that's the way I know that it's just a part of the camera that has this behaviour..
An important thing to say is, this doesn't happen at stock ICS and hasn't happened before at any 4.1.2 ROM, I can take pictures perfectly well. I'm using Slim Bean 7, a 4.2.2 ROM with the @nobodyAtall 's cm10.1 3.4.59 kernel.. not sure what's wrong with this, but I'm sure that the camera is not damaged. I saw that @mikeioannina was modifying things with the camera at his cm10.1, so I don't know if it has something to do with this problem I'm facing.. :L
In addition to the details.. the camera preferences are the default stock ones.
and, the problem just happens when flash is put into AUTOMATIC, you know, when it gives a little flash before taking the pic like a digital camera, all phones do that. But, the picture comes out perfect when I leave the flash permanently turned ON, like a torch.
Auto Flash:
Torch-mode flash
Same pic, same position, same angle...

Noticed a white fading band at the top of my camera image. Here is a screen grab where u can see what I'm taking about. It fades son its hard to tell if its even all the way across as some sort of UI design or if its my camera being faulty/ shifted out of position . Any thoughts?

Wow. I see it. Took me awhile to figure it out. My phone has the same thing. It might be normal or a theme thing. Lets see what other people have to say.

I have this as well, it seems more pronounced when viewed on the phone but when you look at the screengrab on the pc, you can barely notice it.
Also i tried taking a picture of what was in the viewfinder and the picture comes out as pure black, with no fading band. I'm assuming this is a software issue rather than a faulty camera or bad camera placement.
Have you noticed when you take a picture in low light and then click on the thumbnail on the right and start moving the screen around the edges of the photo go all weird ?
I also have this, I think this is just a frame around camera app.
Hey
I've had this phone for two weeks now, and i rooted it after a week.
Since i rooted it my camera has not been working correctly. It's showing up very strange colors. In indoor lighting almost everything is blue without flash. Outdoors it seems like its inverted, blue is showing up as brown, etc...
It's not the only problem with the camera. Sometimes pictures i take looks distorted with just lines in it. Also when i zoom enough, it looks distorted.
I dont know much about the ROM, im not very good at this stuff. I just rooted it with a file called "r1-primo-superboot" using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869667
I've tried searching a lot this problem on various forums, but looks like no one else has this problem with this device.
However, looks like other devices also had this problem, but the solution has always been resetting your settings or pushing the camera lens. Neither of those works on me. Also since i rooted it, the phones warranty is void so im currently not bringing it back to the store.
I have tried factory reset, camera data clearing, nothing helps.
Thanks for everyone who tries to solve this.
try using a custom rom! and yea..no problem due to that guide

Thank you! Didn't realize that could be the problem. Installed myONEV and now it works perfectly.

First of all, I've been meaning to make this thread for a very long time. I got the M7 about 3 months ago, and I noticed that the pictures don't come out very good.
I'm rooted, using a Google Play rom (4.4.2), and using the new Google Camera app to take these pictures.
But my problem is, most of my pictures come out like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And what I noticed happens is:
When I'm looking through the camera, the picture LOOKS fine.. and then as soon as I hit the camera icon to take the pic, the images automatically just blurs itself out. It seems like it wants to focus, but it ends up just becoming super blurry.
Then I can click ANYWHERE on the screen to focus, but then the rest of the images becomes blurry.
Any suggestions please? I don't even enjoy taking pictures anymore because of this.
Definitely not normal. My phone takes phenomenal pictures. Only downside is occasionally in really dark areas; the white balance is off a little. Here ill attach a few in a minute.
Examples
Defiantly not normal. I would try a different rom before saying its the camera.
attached is a pic i took with the Google Camera app but running Bucks AOSP build 4.4.3
you might want to try his rom, it's like GPE but without the bugs that follow from a port sometimes.
OP may wanna try updating firmware and maybe try 4.4.3 GPE posted here, instead of 4.4.2.
It has improved quite a bit in my opinion.
Make sure you aren't in lens blur mode

Oh and another thing; although I'm sure you already tried this; wipe your lens with a clean t-shirt or microfiber cloth (comes with glasses). Sometimes Ill touch my lens; and even if i don't have greasy fingers, a slight smudge can really destroy a photo.
Just look at the picture I included. Zoomed out looks fine, just a little over sharpened. The minute you zoom in, you can see the oil painting effect. You guys think this can ever be fixed?

I had this on my s5. Could be a software issue
Dumb questions but it appears you sent screen shots of the pictures.. Can you upload the actual files? It could be the screens over sharpening but may not actually be in the image.. Also the stock camera defaults to 10mp but you can up it to 13 to see if it helps with the detail.. Also make sure your camera lense doesn't have a smudge on it.
Mine is the same way, though probably worse. Very disappointed in the camera on this thing. Its all software related, so hopefully someone can find a fix.
I posted a few pictures (linked directly, not uploaded) of something very similar in the picture thread. Seems HDR is a very big source of the issue, and looking at your picture, its certainly an HDR image. I'm on to A Better Camera, and its a little better but not much.
For as far as you zoomed in I think it looks OK. I can't shoot now zoom later with the g3. ?

Well friends, this brings me something pissed and I just noticed that in environments with no light, when taking pictures with the flash in auto mode, these are blurred, as if use the beauty mode of the front camera xD or make a bad focus ...
This I noticed when comparing pictures with the flash in auto mode and the flash in Lantern mode as you can see the detail of the pictures with continuous flash is much higher than the auto mode ... NOTE: no matter which camera application use, the result is the same, I use the stock Sense 7 camera and also the of Google camera and even FV-5 ...
I Public this to know if I'm the only one, to rule out a problem with my phone and see if it is a matter of the rom I have 5.0.2 SD with sense 7

I would like to know how you are doing macro shots with no flash light environments, and if the same thing happens, I thank each of your comments.
Anyone?

There are known issues with the Sense 7 camera. HTC has recently pushed an update to the M9 to fix it.
