> K850i 'Cyber-shot' Dust issue - My Fix!
Bookmark topic
Well Guys,
It has been a day - and my GlassLess K850i is fine, no dust specs (obviously), no damage to the auto lens cover, no issues whatsoever.
Removing the Glass Lens cover was easy, it is just attached using a ring of sticky adhesive - just a bit of force loosens it easily. It can be replaced easily too, if you want to!
No im not crazy lol - I just thought it was poor engineering from Sony Ericsson which led to the dust issue - so I fixed it myself!
You dont have to break anything in order to remove the Glass Lens cover, just pick it off. It looks more authentic this way - and now I am waiting to see Sony Ericssons next FW update, which will hopefully, fix the issue with the poor colours from the camera - ie Reds being painted a horrid pink colour and so on.

The Lens Cover is not made from very 'thin plastic' - it is in fact made from Glass!

yes of course...and that material is made IN VERY VERY THIN PLASTIC, AND WILL BREAK VERY VERY EASILY............
let say you have the phone in your pocket with some keys (or what so ever)...you fall or something else happends.... wwiiipps..the plastic breaks directley....
the glass dosent make your pics worse,(sure if you have tons of dust you have a problem...but if you have a clean glass is realy ok)...i also think that
engineers have test this function some hundreds times, and figure out that it was ok

Sony Fans!
The dust issue was becoming a problem for me, and plus - the lens cover is NOT made of extremely thin plastic, I was sure to test that before I started using my K850i without the Glass cover.
It is durable, and think about it - its just like your Digital Cameras!
Guys I have been testing it heavily - and have had NO issues, NO issues!

Just make report if anything changes. It goes for everybody that will remove it based on your experience. So if the issue arises, let us know.
