    K850i

    Anyone managed to fix the camera bug ??

    I was told that red-eye option fixed the shutter synch, but unless flash is off, pics are way too dark.

    Thanks

    Re: K850i

    If you look on the back of the phone you will see that in a few places it has some small holes. These are actually light sensors. If you have your fingers on the back of the phone at all and a shadow is cast across them it won't work properly.

    If you completely keep your fingers off the back of the phone when taking photos then it should work just fine.

    Re: K850i

    Yeah, that came directly from Sony Ericcsson rep when he came into the store shortly after the K850i launch. Makes sense when you think about it. Whenever I sell one I advise my customers on how to take a decent photo with it.

    Re: K850i

    really nice
    Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for the 8Gb card - I'm currently looking for one (my thread)
