Pink camera??

[bart122]

I have teh same on my Omnia Camera. I would expect that samsung would swap the camera sensor for a good one. I think samsung works with 2nd grads quality sensors and 1st grade go into real camara's. I did not go back to samsung yet. Likely I will loose my omnia for 3 weeks or more.

Work around (if you have photoshop and some photohop skiills): Take a picture of a white background with no details. In photeshop increase the saturation by 50% and blurr the image to loss all teh detials which were still there (eg blurr radius 25). Invert the picture: you now get a negative of teh stange colors. Save this picture as you will need to copy this picture on top off al teh pictures you want to correct. Next step is to copy the picture to the picure you want to correct and set the layer blend mode to 'color'. Last step is to set the opaqity to 35%. The strange color effects have now canceled each other out. The overall saturation hase degraded a little and you can correct this by increaseing teh overall saturation by eg 15%.

But more easy go to samsung!!!

Hope this helps

Thanks Bart!
I'll try your Photoshop suggestion - although I have tried many others and found that by the time I had finished the photo had degraded due to extensive manipulation.
Verizon does not believe there is an issue here.....I wonder if Samsung does either. Perhaps it is time to rattle the cages a bit??

Hey Bart, could you do me a HUGE favor and go here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faqs/supportFaqList.do?group=&type=mobilephones&subtype =verizonwireless&model_nm=SCH-I910&dType=D&mType=UM&vType=R&prd_ia_cd=01010400&a cc_ia_fl=&disp_nm=Omnia%20(SCH-i910)&menu=faqs
to log a complaint with Samsung on this issue? Just so I know I'm not the only one who did if they come back to me saying I'm the only one who has mentioned it.

BTW: After searching Google for possible Omnia camera defects this thread is the #1 hit. So....I suppose we are now obligated to make sure people are able to find some solution for this should they too be seeking.

Chris,

I live in teh netherlands and don't have a omnia form versions. So I can't complain based on teh US format. FYI my friend has similar isues with his camara, so you are certainly not alone.

You can try the photoshop manupilation on teh original ("blank") photo and adjust some of teh settings to get a real uniform grey area. If needed get to 16 bits mode. Most essetntial is the color blend with the negative colors of your sensor. It works great for me. (but I prefer a correct sensor).

BTW I don't have verzions. I live in the Netherlands and have a i900 form Vodafone.
