Compact Sony Z3 camera will not focus

I had a Sony Z3 Compact for several months now and at first was very satisfied with the quality and sharpness of the images sound produces camera.  However, I recently noticed that the camera sometimes refuse to focus.  The center of the image seems rather distort back and forward but not to focus.

I tried to look on the support and community forums to get suggestions on how to do, but I got a lot of help.

I discovered that sometimes in pressing the lens or tapping gently on the area of the case with the lens will solve the problem temporarily.  For these reasons, I suspect something has come loose or moved in the focusing system.  Is it possible on this model?

Further, I tried several alternative camera apps to see if they all meet the same problem.  In addition to the stock camera app, I tried; Google camera, A better camera, open camera and Instagram.  All the same problem of the development of experience.  The only thing that seems to bring the image to the home for all is a gentle tap or the pressure applied on the lens (one or the other).

I managed to use installation of the record screen to capture the camera not developed:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUfRTdZfAZg
The second video shows better the fish-eye lens effect I do not see where it does not seem to focus.

I do more to permanently fix the problem with the update?

It's a question that has been seen with other phones and could be repaired if I go back to the phone to a service center?

Other people experience a problem like that?

I suggest that you try to repair the phone using PC Companionsoftware, to rule out the possibility of software problems.

Before the repair of your device, you can back up your information first. See this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?

If the question must remain, I think that this must be examined and fixed to a repair center. For more information on how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

  • try to photograph a sunset through the tree branches, but the camera will not focus correctly

    I have a SX50HS, I'm trying to take a zoom of the sunset through trees, but the camera will be only focus on the branches... trying to get the Sun in short

    I agree with the manual focus to infinity. I think that you will have little problem get enough light in the camera for a fast shutter if you are shooting and counting of the Sun!

    Something will have to be badly exposed, because the Sun is so bright, and the hidden tree side is not. If you meter the Sun get beautiful orange, the tree will be a dark figure. Adjust the exposure for the sky a little left or right of the Sun, not the sun itself for best results. I'm not used to the Powershot cameras, f/5 might work, but on a DSLR, you would probably like an opening narrower, like f/8 or f/11 or even higher.

    This is probably the way to go rather than dosage for the tree and saw the sky blown completely out., but you can try both ways for fun.

    Good luck!

  • When I updated my iPhone 6 more iOS 9.3 my camera will not be to the point and seems blurred by far. I already reset my iPhone and my mother worked... Anything other ideas, might be a bug in the iOS update?

    When I updated my iPhone 6 more iOS 9.3 my camera will not be to the point and seems blurred by far. I already reset my iPhone and my mother worked... Anything other ideas, might be a bug in the iOS update?

    I would say "try and do a restore as new iPhone" like everyone else but I'm having a similar problem and nothing works! I've restored all the possible ways and nothing. I got my screen replaced and I still have the same home button but my phone updated with error 53 (makes the phone unusable) but the camera did work before the update. and Apple has released iOS 9.1.2 (13D 20) to correct the error 53 (mainly for other reasons) but when I go to use the camera, it is only black! If someone could help 'discovered' and I would be great!

  • SONY DVP-FX780 will not play on TV

    Thank you

    Scott

    Make sure that you select entry appropriate to the TV. Also, check if the connection is closed and secure.

    Try to use different Audio/video cable connection and check if there is a photo. Also, try to connect the reader with different A / V port of TV (if available).

    NOTE: Before connecting, turn off the drive and the equipment to be connected, then unplug the wall outlets.

  • Lens barrel will not focus?

    Hi all

    I have an a6000 and recently bought a Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM lens and an adapter Fotasy EOS - NEX.

    Everything fits together ok, but the ring on the lens will not work (it's brand new)

    is there some settings I need to adjust to get this working correctly?

    (already provided without active goal still does not seem to work)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The focus ring rotates when the lens is NOT attached to the adapter?

    ... when it is attached to the map is NOT attached to the camera?

  • After IOS 10.0.2, camera will not close

    Just did the upgrade to the new IOS, and now everytime I open my phone or my pad, the camera is open and will not close. Reboots do not help.

    Hello. Can you explain more? You open the smart cover or click on the Home button and immediately see the camera? You should see the lock with a message screen to press home to open. The lock screen is now configured with the page today (widgets) on the left and on the right camera, so you can drag to get access without having to open the iPad. If you enter the camera, by error, by clicking on home leaves you.

  • Excite - AT10PE - camera can not focus the image correctly

    When you use the camera, sometimes that can put the image incorrectly.
    You have it too?

    My screen AT10 has a slightly reddish. I used the 'filter your screen', but it is not fair. Addressed to someone?

    After that update to version 4.3 takes the focus is still wrong - fixfocus - infinite - cannot be set. Missing manual calibration. When I put infinity, should be on the horizon. But it's not. It's good to see the apk mobilwebcam or KennyCamera.

    In addition, the camera does not work with the exhibition.

    Oh, another discovery. When the camera lens lend a lens with a focal length of 200 mm, so the focus to infinity corrected at once:-o. As the lens on the tablet had the focus more than necessary!

    After you remove the app do you turn off the phone and power then turn it back on. After back what happens. We have seen that the apps are still not working after upgrade and reset it will probably set but let just first try the camera application.

  • Sony PMB installer will not install

    I have a Sony VGN-FW275J... I'm trying to load the installer of PMB to a HDR-XR150. I tried over and over and over again and it will not be installed. He manages at the end of the installation each time, and then told me that he "... could not open key: unknown/components/DA (very long series of numbers, letters) check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team."

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum.

    Your description of the error appears to be a permissions issue - the installation tries to access a part of the system registry, but can not. After a reboot, try to run the installation in administrator mode - instead of double-click Setup, right click the icon and select "Run as Administrator" from the menu.

    SONY MP3 PLAYER

    MY MP3 SONY READER WILL NOT SYNC TO MY COMPUTER

    Hello

    Please do not type in capital letters as it is difficult to read and considered to be shouting.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Here's to an MP3 player and not all apply to an iPod (if an iPod please let us know.)

    Set the MP3 MTP Mode for synchronization of WMP11/12 - mode MSC to treat the MP3 as a reader.

    Tips for solving problems of USB devices - and a Mr Fixit
    http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/c39bd203-f729-47a4-8351-83291e13c8a81033.mspx#EGB

    Hardware devices not detected or not working - Mr. Fixit
    http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/hardware_device_problems

    Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

    1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed
    in this case. Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put
    Back to H: and the other device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the search box->
    Disk management is top - right click it - RUN AS ADMIN

    Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and
    delete files and update the firmware.

    If no joy follow these steps:

    You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often
    only 2)

    Try these:

    Make a Restore Point

    Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

    Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

    Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
    It RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL all.

    now go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers in the category, but the category itself.

    APPLY/OK

    RESET

    This refresh battery USB and hopefully it will allow the unit to install. (You may need a powered hub)

    Here is the similar procedure in XP, Windows 7 is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
    devices if it is present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    This is a utility to help you, but do 1 above.

    USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices currently connected to your computer, as
    Although all USB devices that you previously used. Run Options and check the 1st three choices to
    see if one is there.

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/usb_devices_view.html

    You must remove all instances of the devices and restart.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the above does not work (and it should be considered the preparatory work).

    This works for any MP3 player when the USB stack is not corrupted:

    1 player to delete and restart computer - switch to MTP mode on your MP3 player

    Regardless of what brand of MP3 you have

    1. check this Just In Case

    In Vista/Windows 7: (Do this way!)

    Start - type in the search box - find CMD top - RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

    Copy and paste this command into windows XP or Vista/Windows 7 CMD - press enter

    NET local service localgroup administrators / add

    I can't capture photos, or I can't see the video.

    Check the following:

    • Audio and video settings are properly adjusted. For more information, see audio and video settings.
    • Closed all other programs that may be using the LifeCam. (You don't have to close your instant messaging for the LifeCam program work.)
    • Your LifeCam lens is not covered or blocked and that the LifeCam has enough lighting.
    • Try to disconnect and reconnect the LifeCam.
    • Try to disconnect other unused USB devices.
    • Try using a different USB port on the computer. Connect to a USB 2.0 port, if you can.
    • If you use a USB hub, try unplugging the hub and rather the LifeCam directly on your computer.

    Thank you

    Without accurate information on the configuration of your person can tell you a lot. Starting from the expression was not evaluated correctly using a window of bad camera, it could be anything. You need to be much more accurate and provide appropriate information as parameters, rendering information system what version of AE, model parameters, and so forth. Screenshots of the timeline window and comp will help a lot.
