Hi guys,

I had been taking some nice quality pics with my Xpera X1, but very recently ALL photos are being taken ... "too white". If I take a pic in clear daylight, even if I am resting my hand, etc etc ... the photo is blurred by the over saturation of white in the photo. I have hard resetted the phone, installed new drivers ... still ... I cannot take a decent pic.

I am frustrated as I used to take some really nice photos with it before ...here are some examples:

Before:

After:

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks,

Eric

@ savaga

hey clean the lens! i bet you there are fingerprints everywhere on your camera lens that's why the pictures come out like this

I do have small scratches on the circular part of the camera ... so as I was instructed to do on another forum, I put some toothpaste on it and rubbed it a bit on it ... and BOOM, scratches are gone and photos are great again!

so for anyone else who has this problem or needs to remove scratches off the camera lense - TOOTHPASTE works !

Sure, here you go ... I just took these 2 photos of my backyard ... compare them with the "previous" photos and you will see how much more crisp the photos are

You mean something is wrong with your camera? Nothing can do except take it to after sale service.
