k850i camera issues...

[johnnr892]

Hi, I got a free upgrade to the K850i the other day. Everything on the phone is great, apart from the camera, which seems to be pretty poor in low light conditions. The flash doesn't seem to illuminate very well, and many of my photos are underlit or blurry. I have read somewhere that there is a bug with these phones that the flash is not in sync with the capture. My firmware version is R1CA037, are there any more recent versions? is anyone else having issues like mine, or just me?Thanks for your time, John.

Look on the back of the phone and you will see what looks like a small covered drilled hole near the lens. Thats actually a light sensor and it has been quite common that users are acidentally covering it up. Literally hold the phone round the outer edges for a clear shot. We had a memo about this come into the stores a few weeks back.
