Soft Skin effect

[BigSigh]

This won't turn off. Tried front and back cameras. Tried disabling enabling all settings. Tried force stop camera app in Apps list, clearing data, restart.
Even installed Google's camera app and these photos get processed too!

Extremely frustrated and now thinking of refund

Just bought my z3 yesterday, and i hate this soft skin effect. I can't find any fix online. I'm asian and this skin effect is ridic! Even the back camera is doing skin mods.

Can anyone tell if issue is fixed in lollipop?

Unfortunately it's not.  

It still takes blurry photos. I really hoped that this will be fixed. 😕

I had the opposite problem. Icouldn't turn the smooth skin on on my z2. But I noticed that when using a higher resolution and taking out the flash it automaticly sets itself off. Have you guys tried that?

There is a a awful soft skin effect when I take pics whith my xperia z3 compact. does anybody now how to get rid of it?

Yes, you selected it. 

Open the camera, bottom left icon. Press it, it will open a menu and you may be able to chose different effects rather than the skin beautify one.
