camera and white streaks

[Sue Kerr]

Just tonight I've noticed a white cloud or streak when I use my flash. Any suggestions? I'm not a big camera lingo person so my settings are all factory default, but I take a lot of photos. Please help.

Can you post a sample picture? It might help 'diagnose' the issue... But it could be you or something else reflecting the flash light onto the lens (some cases are known to have that effect), a scratch, dent, or even dirt inside the lens cover.

Thank you for responding. I have attached a photo that i took a few minutes ago. The streak starts in the upper right hand corner (if I'm holding the phone horizontally) and literally moves across the screen. I've tried all sorts of angles and lighting. So I took off the case an it works find. wiped it out and put it back on - problem is back. So i wiped off the exterior of the case and now it seems fine.I guess some piece of dirt was causing a reflection?

Yup, that seems to be the case. I also had an issue once where the case was reflecting SOUND on my S2... Case off: People hear me just fine. Case on: People hear themselves on an echo. So weird. hehe
