I have read many posts of people who are having all-white pics with flash fired on their K850

This info is for all of those people:

I too had the same issue. I even thought of selling my phone because flash ruined many of my close-up pics, but I decided to give it to SE service center (my phone is still under warranty:-)). Initially they were not convinced, but at last they replaced the light sensor with a new one.

Wow!! now my pics are perfect. Flash does not ruin my pics

I can say for sure that if u r having the same problem, it is because of a defective sensor - not at all a firmware issue. (mine is R1FA035).

Try to convince the SE service center people. demonstrate the problem..

good luck

All settings Auto, even ISO (not 100 at all)

Remember, this was clicked just from 15 cm away from the bottle

Me too had the same issue before but i read on some other post that cleaning the light sensor with toothpick will improve macro+flash pics. Then I tried it and the results are awesome!

@nnr3

that too is a possibility....

but for those who exhausted that option too, a defective sensor can be confirmed..

i had tried cleaning the sensor with no effect..

if everything is okay, this phone can take super quality pics... i too initially cursed this phone, but now it is simply great
