temporary fix for blurred image. camera lens cover scratching. etc

[thamjid]

Like you, I was also suffering from blurred images, faded images and focusing problem in my xsp due to the scratches on my camera lense cover. Actually it is not the scratches on your camera glass. But those scratchess are made on a coating provided over the glass by Sony. That coating may peel off within few months. Today I cleaned the residues of that peeled off coating by using a cloth and spray containing alcohol. Now the glass become clean. No scratch like appearances. And the camera focuses very sharply. No blurr. No fade. No focusing problem. Soooooo happy

Some later X-SPs didn't have the coating, it's not on my wifes 2014 phone although it is on my 2013 one.

Should you wand to replace the lens cover Edmund Optical do Gorilla Glass or even saphire windows in all sizes. Measure the existing one, dia and thickness, and I'll look up the order number.

I said this is a temporary fix. Xsp camera is a worse one. It can only take good pictures in good light conditions

Dimentions of the Xperia SP lens window are as follows.....

Diameter: 8.25mm

Thickness: 1.25mm

Material: cheap bit of plastic, sometimes coated.

The nearest size window, which is totally scratch proof, available from Edmund Optics Ltd is.....

Diameter: 7.5mm

Thickness 0.4mm

Material: sapphire, uncoated part number #43-628

Although slightly different in size just fit with a bit of ingenuity and forget.
