Xperia Z3 camera issue

Prathikarya — Wed, 27 Apr 2016 19:28:20 GMT

Hello
I previously had an Xperia Z and right now own an Xperia Z3. Recently I've noticed that the camera images,videos quality on Xperia Z3 have highly deteriorated.The images and videos are now extremely dull and gloomy/dark in low light conditions than they used to be and .
My Xperia Z does better job with camera than Z3 now.What do you think has gone wrong?
P.S. Haven't installed any bootloader and drm keys are safe.

@Prathikarya

Just to clarify, you have not unlocked the bootloader?

Which camera settings are you using ?

Change iso, change Metering, change exposure values,
They would be where I begin.

Hi Prathikarya,

You can also have a look at this FAQ, it helps provide some info on low light conditions.

Yep I have the same issue, my phone is close to 2 years use and recently the camera quality has completely deteriorated, I've always looked after my phone and it's still in great condition, I've been into photgraphy since I was a kid and it's nothing to do with my photgraphy skills or camera settings, it has definitely put me off future Xperia purchases.
