Hey.
When i take a picture with my w800i the camera shuts off to the main screen. it focus's but when i press to take the picture the camera app closes. On the odd occassion it takes and saves the pictures but this is very rare.

Any idea's on this? Does it need a reflash?

Thanks
Danny

Sounds like a ribbon cable problem, it's probably either got a tiny nick in it, or just needs re-plugging into the mainboard, it might have worked loose or have a bit of dust in it.

i had a k750i (with w800 fw) with a mucked up flex cable. it allowed me to shoot videos and pictures in the panorama mode with a green tint.

i tried reseating the cable, but it didnt work
