Backlight reflection especially when photographing the sun in sunsets!

No matter what settings, or lens!

I'm at a loss. Sony doesn't really address my problem with this good and expensive Xperia1.
Please help me....

Not good....

Why would you photograph the sun? That would burn your eyes out.

Do you mean photography in BRIGHT sunslight?

Just enable adaptive brightness and you will see the screen alright, the screen is bright then.

I like it to catch the sunlight, Especially sunsets. I didn't have this problem with any Xperia before.

Adaptive Brightness increases the display brightness, depending on light and content, as GilgameshUK states, probably in the region of about 30% brighter.

The disturbing point remains in the image. No matter which setting. I suspect that the longer disc in front of the three lenses is reflected again.

See my beginner photographer thread, I dont have a problem with sunsets.

It must just be your phone fella.

I wanted to upload photos, but that doesn't work. Are there any special presets?

You can upload photos but the moderators have to clear them first.

or you can post an external link to one.

Is your problem lens flare, from aiming the camera directly at the sun?

If so, shoot RAW, edit in Lightroom/photoshop, etc or better composition..also there are tips to avoid it, but without a pic, it's hard to understand what the issue is.

YES i get that, currently the sony x1 has issues with overblown light sources-like the sun and street lights.
