my K800 looked like that the day i got it.
it FREAKED ME OUT.
the phone was off, and all that...
i slid open the lens cover just to check...
and i saw that black plastic stuff? blocking it...
i was soooooo scared that i had a messed up phone.
but then... when i turned it on, opened my lens cover again,
i could capture images with the camera, and that black thing was gone.
i was so relieved...
i guess it's like an internal lens cover.



Same here mate when I had mine shipped to my hotel in Las Vegas I slid the lense open before even turning it on in the elevator and was like "cool it has a shutter". It would be cool if it closed while the phone is powerd off incase the cover is accidentally moved, to prevent possible direct light damage to the lense.

i just noticed that my k800 black shutter is cracked when i opened my lens cover and it revealed the black shutter. I tried to see it again but now it only shows the lens.. I had no idea there was a shutter underneath the plastic above the lens..

i remember accidently crushing the outer lens cover but it did not get damaged so i assumed everything was fine.

if the black shutter cover as you've mentioned in this thread is damaged, will it affect the quality of my pics?

i have no idea how the thing works or of its importance.. all i know is that i cant seem to get it to reveal now and was shocked to see the cracks in the shutter. how will that affect my photos and the lens in general?

When I open the slider sometimes I notice that black shutter aswell,
it seems to open though when the sliders fully open

I've got a faulty and dead k800i here, and it looks like the cam shutter switch has been snapped off. The camera unit on that has that black 'shutter' on it too, hopefully if I put that camera unit into a working K800i it would activate and work fine, i'll see if I can post a couple of pics later, am just about to go out now!

well its been established that it is an internal shutter but mine is actually damaged. i think cos i accidently banged it earlier on it casued the shutter to close but i think the damage to it was done a long time ago cos i doubt the cracks in the shutter would have been cos of todays incidents.

does anyone else have this same problem?

does anyone know how to get the shutter to close manually so i can take another look at the extent of the damage as i can't seem to get it to close up now no matter what i do?

when i use the flash the shutter closes and opens quickly but i cant notice the damage as its so quick. is there anyway to get it to close? i've tried turning off the phone to no avail..

as it is cracked the shutter what is the future problems i might have? i see that it still opens and closes fine when i use the flash but i can imagine the broken part which is cracked may no longer close in future which i guess will cause the image to be obscured with that piece of shutter covering it.

its still under warranty though.. i've only had it 3 months. would something like this be covered by warranty?

If you flick the camera switch then the thing should move. I dropped mine and the same happen. After that I went to take a pic then all is fine

I've dropped mine twice, and that protector thing was locked when I opened the lens cover, but it opened too after a sec or two.
