I just tried using my camera today and for some reason it is acting up.

When I press the camera button, it does not take a photo. If I press it half way, it focuses but when I press it the second half, no photo is taken. When I press it all the way without 1/2 stepping it.. it flashes, but never takes a photo.

It works when I take a piture with the on screen button.. but not the actualy camera button.

Did you drop the phone?

Many people are having this issue with SE phones. K800, K810 and K850 alike seem to develop faults in the camera button. If you upto speed on dismantling a phone then you can relpace the camera button PCB fairly easily. I am hunting one down at the moment to fix my K850 button too...

Falling short of this you will have to get it services by an SE Service Centre. Stink one aye.
