Have you tried installing a third-party camera app, like Google Camera or Pro Capture? Also, inspect your front camera closely and make sure nothing's covering it, such as a screen protector, and that it's clean from dust and scuffs.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/fritsprive/DSC_0102.jpg to me it looks like something is wrong because I´ve just tested my selfie abilities and the quality is much higher then your picture. And that is with only kitchen light, in daylight should even be much better.
and I have screen protector in place and .108 second edition fw.

1. Sony camera needs very good light conditions
2. Did you try HDR on?
3. Which software are you currently on?

Go and show it to a service centre? Because to me it looks like a hardware problem as you have tested it already with different software settings.

[Q]Fisheye?

Hi I was wondering if there is any way to add an effect fisheye to the camera ....
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Try Camera360 Ultimate, it has fisheye effect. I have never tried it, though.
I tried it but it isn't exactly what I was looking for . Is there any app that could allow fisheye recording and not just to take a picture and converte it to fisheye...?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
The built-in HTC camera has it! Just tap the magic wand icon, select the first effect (called "distortion", I think; I have the language set to Dutch) and adjust the slider all the way to the plus side. That way it turns from a "pinch" to a "fisheye" lens.

This is what you are looking for: FxCamera. It has got fisheye. Enjoy!
This actually isn't fisheye effect ...

Are you sure? With the slider all the way to the right it looks pretty fisheye-like to me, like this:

Edit: added an example pic I made with the HTC camera.

It's not exactly the same ( or I'm wrong ) , but there is no option to record with fisheye effect , so if there is a program that could allow recording please someone tell me

New camera app with super gallery from Lenovo flagship K900

This is a new camera application from Lenovo flagship set.
I'm amazed by the quality of the camera. Takes sharp and good pictures than our stock camera
and also gallery has lot of editing features like beauty , special effects etc. I tested on my xperia ion and it's working great.
( If you don't know about lenovo flagship set " It is the device with 13mp camera with 1080p display".
Download link : http://mirrorfy.com/group/all-about...m-lenovo-k900-for-better-picture#.UhVjQtKGqgs
This photo editor looks pretty much like Aviary, which I use every day.
Powered by GSR with Android 4.1.2 on the board.
nice! i will try this. i hope it will work on my xperia sl will i have to download both at the Download link 1 and Download link 2??
Thank you

Really nice app but it's just too slow on our devices (it takes long time to open)
If you try to set camera to be default camera and press cam button to open it you get FC

And this filters doesn't work too
If I try to take a shoot with fisheye lens I get FC.
Other than that - very good camera.
I tried to shoot falling object and it wasn't blurred like in other camera apps.
But if I can't use cam button to open it - it's useless.
Tnx anyway...

Another app. This way you'll all have like 100 apps on your phone. The way to go is to replace the stock one with another one,better one of course,not install it as an alternative. NOT IMPRESSED

Panaroma and burst mode fc. Other than that camera as well as gallery is gr8.

[UPDATED] Camera / Multi-Window Bug...

Bug Confirmed on Original Stock TMO N900T Note 3...
1. Make sure Multi Window is ON. (and the check mark inside)

}
2. Open Camera...
3. Now see pictures taken... (by hitting the gallery icon on the lower left, while still on camera)
4. Now Screen will split in 2 and you will have camera/gallery... Make sure you are on the gallery side... and hit back.
5. Camera will return in full screen...
6. Camera is ****ed... can't switch to front camera, can't take pictures... camera may even force close, you may see artifacts on screen...
I've never heard of this. But what are the chances of me doing all that anyways. And by camera is ****ed do you mean it won't work anymore? Or can you force close/clear data and it starts working again?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
It happens even without taking any pictures...
Chances are high when you take off taking pictures from the equation... (OP Updated)
It works again after stopping/clearing data...
In my opinion this is a MAYOR bug...

Read first step... If it takes you to the gallery... Then you are not doing split windows... You should see camera on the left and gallery on the right... Then make sure you are on gallery... Hit back and the gallery will close, and the camera will be in full screen again... Now... It doesn't work.

Oh now I see it. Yeah when I press back it goes to the camera and it won't take pics. But I just exit out of camera and re open it and it works again. Oh well, I don't leave that part checked anyways.

Its not a softwarr issue. Seems a hardware one probably with the lens.
Try to clean it from outside otherwise show it to the gallery guy he may be more knowlegable regarding it.

Dere is a black layered coating on lens wich makes the picture look bad.. Do google search dere are a few threads about cleaning process

The hardware is good but software poor. We can only wait z3/z3c out and we will do camera port because insiders claimed Sony will rewrite the camera software on z3/z3c.

It's true that the device after the twentieth week of 2014( >14w20) haven't problems with the flash bleeding??? sorry for my bad English
Sent from my ST25i using XDA Free mobile app
I find that flash bleed only happened when you take a picture of landscape or distance object, but if you take a picture of an object, it rarely happens. So I recommend turning off the flash when taking distance object and it captures decent image even when not using flash at night.

Yep, that's also an option but that voids warranty and you should know what you're doing if you want it to be waterproof afterwards.
