Weird camera problem

[sdelgado4]

I've noticed a strange problem with the camera on my droid since I got it this past saturday. It doesn't appear to be the same problem as many of the others that people have described, although the autofocus doesn't work too well either.

The main problem is that there is a green filter on the top half of the screen whenever I take pictures or video. It is visible before and after the picture is taken.

I'm not sure if this can be fixed or if it will be taken care of during the upcoming software upgrade, or if I should take it in to a verizon store....any thoughts?

Reboot your phone if that doesn't work then wait for the update that should work f it doesn't take it back

Can you post a sample image?

Sorry for the delay.

This is what the pictures tend to look like:

You can easily see the green layer on the top half. Also, as you can see, the quality itself is pretty bad too.

I tried to reboot it but I still have the same problem.

Ok so my phone just updated but the problem is still there. Was that the upgrade I was waiting for?

Should I think about taking my phone to the verzon store to get it checked out/replaced?

I'd take it back and swap it out.

If it's a constant issue, yeah ~ take it back. That's definitely green.

That will fall under MOTO 1 year warranty. Take it back and if your past your 30days, politely ask if they will give you a NEW phone not a reman.

the auto focus is terrible.. all my friends have the iphone and ive gotten so much sh*t from them cuz of the lag and focus on the camera. though i found taking off the auto focus actually helped.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to :\

Will they let me keep the same memory card so I won't have to go through all the trouble of saving all my stuff on the phone again?
