[ignore me, I'm just here to lengthen this post]

I have this same issue. it is very dissapointing. I have to constantly edit the brightness and contrast after every single pic i take and normaly that doesnt even clean it up. i can't show it to some one with out being ashamed that my super expensive super duty newest of the new nokia phone takes pics worst than the iphone. I may as well have a motorola razer take the pics. my n95 was the same lense and it took amazing pics thats why i am so confused. this haze is in every where. I was starting to think a ghost or spirit of some sort was hiding in my phone haunting it so it's good to know my phone isnt possesed and most people have this issue. sense buying this phone i have went to experience photographers, read countless website refferences, and brought phoptography books to learn if it was a issue with the settings and things of that nature. I didnt have to read one book to take brilliant pics with my n95. all the reading helped a little bit but the pic still comes out trash

i didnt specify before in my post what all problems i have with the camera.

1. hazy images (can be either all over or some times just in a upper portion or upper corner portion)

2. green images (sometimes the pics just come out with a heavy green tint)

Yea, i'm having this issue aswell. I did a test.

You be the judge

Its quite simple, if you put somehitng in front of any camera lens then it distrots the image, like shooting through glass.

But if your that intent on taking photos then buy a camera for christ sake. Its quite simple, the Nokia case can be easily agreed with when they simply state, its a phone not a camera, the camera is a bonus.

I have to say, that with the last updates... the image quality is near perfect, really good for a phone.

I have the haze, but I`m not sure WHAT causes it.....I`ve covered the chrome, covered the blue bezel, make sure that my fingers are not infront of the lens and still ....once in a while in a low light condition I get a blue haze.....makes me think that there must be something wrong with the timing of the dual leds

Note that there will always be a certain amount of reflection from the slider, even if you painted it black, only if it was a perfect mirror would the problems go away. The end result is still blueish mostly because of white balance adjustments.

GREAT WORK!

I just looked into back and I understand how to fix it - the haze is just because of silver metallic rectangular surrounding camera hole and flash - it reflects light back to camera glass. The flash glass can't haze because it is (and camera glass too) inserted deeper than plastic base.

The fix should be simple - get a black marker and blackout this rectangular.

Thank you!
