Hi,

I upgraded my K850 to 037 firmware version.

When I take photos of subject in short distance with flash, the photos become over exposed and thus looks whitish. Are any of you facing similar problems.

I am shooting the photos in Auto mode and default ISO.

Cheers
Dip

Lowering ISO may help (I will try this tonight) but it will not help in all the situations. Vaired ISO is used for speciality photography and Auto just decides on the ISO depending on the various factors like lighting, object distance, movement (to some extent if I am not wrong), etc.

So I would have expected the performance to be at the same lavel as K750 or K800 as pictures of same object at similar situations with the previous 2 models of K850 produce perfect exposure/white balancing.

How short of a distance is 'short'? Does it warrant Macro mode? (does the K850 has Macro mode?)

Use ISO 100 coupled with EV-0.7. Works great.

Rofl and you kidding me? K800i up close took overexposed flash photos by far. K850i is great... for now. The bugs are bearable.

By 'short' I meant a distance of 1 metre or 2. Macro mode is meant to work with distnace even less than that. BTW, K850 do have macro mode.

I think it is a bug and SE needs to address this issue of over exposure. I think it will need some more firmware updates before the phone becomes an excellent one to refer. K800 also had lots of issues at the beginning.
