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

I've got the Xperia Z2 and suffer from the same bug..

from Android 4.4.2 to Marshmallow 6.0 (Beta until now).. Always blurry pictures,

I'm embarrased of taking pictures at partys and clubs because then there is always this reaction: 

"OMG your camera seems to be very...well...weak." But my phone isn't weak, I love it but the camera.... NOPE! 

The only solution that works for me: Use KiwiCamera, it's the only app that seems not to use Sony's image "optimization", 

but it takes 3 seconds or so to process a picture.. But it is the only way to shoot reasonable pictures at low light conditions. 

I hope ONE DAY this bug will be fixed but until then...  happy frustration!

It's 2018 and still no response from Sony even after the issue being"escalated". Ridiculous.

It's 2019, and Sony doesn't fix, doesn't respond to this topic. You are ridiculous Sony. I am very disappointed because I bought this Xperia XA2. I will not recommend anyone to your products. Sony - a team of unprofessional.

Do not use auto ISO, set it manually.
