Xperia Z1 Camera producing extremely hazy pictures

[Terrible]

 Just bought my Xperia Z1 a week ago. After figuring out how to extend battery life, I moved on to the camera. The festival of lights here in Mumbai  was a good time to use it. But to my utter dismay I was getting horrible pictures with a sort of haze and a yellow tint. I tried it both on manual as well as auto but both seem to have the same issue. As do night and daytime. I am putting up the pictures. Please do suggest if there's something I am doing wrong or there's a problem with this specific camera.

Can we expect from sony resolve the Camera issue..

I beleive I know the solution.

Mine seems to take really nice photos BUT the issue is using the flash while it is in the case

The flash seems to reflect off the edges of the cutout on the case, and back into the lens making it all hazy.

Problem is sovled for me if I either turn the flash off or take the phone out of the case.

Could also put a circular ring / rubber O-ring or something inside the opening in the case that fits around the lens and would stop the flash from reflecting back into the lens.



The other problem could be if you haven't taken the back protector off that comes on the phone - that makes it all hazy too.
