Hello, I'm creating this topic in hope that someone had this problem and solved it.

When I take landscape pictures, with Landscape or auto(focus auto or infinite), I get blurry pictures.
I'll post some pictures below.

Could the focus mechanism be broken? I did drop the phone 2-3 times from like 1 meter high. Macro pictures or pictures of stuff closer than 5 meters are ok.

this is a common problem with the k550 many users report it, could it be that you are pointing the camera down abit.

Yea, many users have that problem (now and my sister )
Only you can back your phone to store where you buy phone...

btw. my sister cant back phone... I try to flash phone to k550i, then again to w610i, try to change drivers... but nothing.
Same problem here, like is always macro is on, now macro pics are great, but landscape photos blurry.

number1: Yep .. I took those pictures from the 4-th floor

Could I go to the shop with it and use it's waranty? This problem seems a bit subjective.

I guess SE really cut the budget for this phone ... I understand wanting to make it cheaper but I think they exaggerated a little ..

well alex, this phone is a mid-range phone, BUT it gives u good value for money. of course, if u drop it a couple of times or flash it back n forth, dont expect it to work as its supposed to do when its new and "undamaged". Buy a really expensive phone and try flashing/dropping it a couple of times and see how it works afterwards. So, handle with care and it will work as intended. Mine works just fine
