Help Problem with DEFY camera

N

Hello, I have had the Moto DEFY less than a day now so bear with my ramblings here.
When I have taken a picture there is a huge line down half of the picture. What's bizarre is the line isn't there on there viewfinder screen before I take the photo.
Attached is one of the photos I snapped. They all come out like this, same line same place. I had initially thought maybe the camera lens was cracked or something but as I said already the line only appears after the picture is taken.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

hi i think thts a fault with the actual digital lens.. similar to losing pixels on a pc screen.. take it back and get it swapped is best move... m
 
The reason you might not be able to see the line on the lcd screen before you take the picture is because the lcd is no where near the resolution of the camera, the screen is only 854 x 480 that only 0.4 megapixels compared to the camera`s 2592 x 1456, 5 megapixels.
 
Yes, I thinks there might be a physical fault with the camera sensor (ccd or cmos, I don't know what it uses). I have seen this on a Sony Ericsson phone a couple of years ago, and I was not able to find a solution. I think the only way to fix this is changing the actual camera module, so you will have to send it to service.
Good luck ;)

Like the other guys said, take the phone back for an exchange. The guys at the shop I returned it to said it was a line of dead pixels just. Although they bombarded me with "did you drop it?" "are you sure you didnt drop it?" "you must have dropped it" before giving me the exchange.
 
Sad times =[ at least you got the exchange in the end.

I wish there was a decent app that let you make the volume button the camera shutter button... That is my only problem with the defy camera. I suck at self-group photo taking...

It can be done if your phone is rooted.

Mine isn't =[
I actually found an app which can do it unrooted though (Vignette demo), it just isn't the best camera in general. Or there are camera apps with timers or where you can touch anywhere on screen to take it. The problem is that they don't alter the default camera but are their own camera app ones and not very good. I can't believe the default android app doesn't have a timer though, unless I've missed it.

btw, if you zoom in the cam and then shoot, the line disappears. but once you zoom out then the line can already be seen.

what happened? did the motorola guys replace your phone?
