Hi, I buy some time ago two Sailfish licenses for my Sony Xperias XA2 (Single and Dual Sim). After unblocking bootloader on XA2 Dual Sim and flashing to Sailfish OS I realised that quality of photos from camera is very bad.

All photos have blur and glow effect and colours are strange. The problem is for all Sailfish aplications (Default Camera, Advanced Camera) and from Andorid application (Open Camera, S7 Camera, and many other) also in preview mode.

I uploaded some photos below (bad is from XA2 Dual Sim and good is from my XA2 Single Sim from Android 9.0):

So problem is with Sailfish layer algorithm or it is hardware issue when bootloader is unblocking and DRM keys (Sony) are deleted from device.

I dont't know what to do - I would like to flashing my Xperia XA2 Single Sim version, but I affraid the same problem can be after unblocking bootloader and potentially deleting DRM keys.

Do anyone had the same issue after unblocking bootloader or flashing Sailfish OS? It is possible to fix it?

For sure, it´s going to happen to your otgher device. The camera feature is not the best suit of sailfish OS, sadly. I guess there are no enough resources to improve it.

If you need/want/rely on good phots, forget about SFOS. :(

Sorry but this is just rrue.

The Jolla1 was not good.
The JollaC was worse.
And the Xperias are maybe a bit better but far from good (worse than N900)!

In my opinion Jolla1 doing better photos than XA2 because od better contrast and no blur/glow camera effect. I'm very dissapointed that nobody of Sailfish/XA2 users or Jolla Support can't confirm or deny that blur/glow effect are on another smartphones. I still don't know if this problem is only on my device or also another.

I finded some comparison for photos from Sailfish OS and Android: https://medium.com/predict/xperia-xa2-android-9-vs-sailfish-os-3-an-in-depth-camera-comparison-42eee6432baf

I flashed again my device to Android 9, but the blur/glow effect is still there.

@jolla Support - this is problem because of deleting DRM keys when I unblocking device or rather my camera are broken? I have second paid Sailfish licence, but I don't know if I should flash another device and if this problem can repeat?

This is probably due to too long exposure. Unfortunately, you can't control exposure time directly in any of the sfos camera apps, but you can try selecting higher ISO setting, and camera hopefully should set shorter exposure to ajust brightness.

I did some photos again after flashing to Android 9 and the blur/glow effect still there. I also use OpenCamera or other Android aaplication on Android, but it not help. Changing ISO settings not improve quality of photos. So maybe it is problem with deleting DRM keys or only with my device?
