Ok,i used k850 for a long time,i has not given me problem once!
Than i went back to my other phone,my k800,used it for a few days,than i started ti use my k850 again.
here is the problem,when i take a pictur with flash,the pictures are too dark,when i use it without flash it takes normal pics,i tried to clean my sensor and it' still dark...I'm confused because it worked perfectly before..
here are some samples,they are all with flash...




Btw.it works normal with macro

Make sure your fingers dont cover the sensor or the flash or near these things while taking pic.
Sometimes very small things matter most.

I did everything,so i went to the service,they said the camera module is dead,they have to change the camera and the light sensor,when they showed me the part from my phone,it looked like it was in the fire...burned totally.i was surprised it worked anyway.We will see in few hours what they did,when i go to pick it up!

Nope,and don't wanna know!
The best thing,the phone worked for year or more without any problems,i just put it in a drawer and used another phone...When i started using it again,it worked normal,until I started the cam...
funny thing,they said that it's happened before with some other k850's?!
The flash worked normal,but,as i understood them,it just happens..

@zokowmali

What is your problem? Earlier you had the problem of darker pic and now you are complaining about overexposed pic. Oh God, help this child. just joking. Dont take it ill.

Try to clean the sensor, as new sensor might be dirty. Just give it a try.

Have you clean it with toothpick? Some times the dirt inside it is so accumulated that it requires 2-3 gentle cleaning. :)

Which cam drive are you using?
If nothing helps you, show it to service center. :)

I'm using original cam driver,cleaned it several times...I'm suspecting that the cam sensor they put in is not really so new,i will take it today to another service center to check it out..
