Skype Front Camera View

[Man-o-War]

Hello,

One week ago, I bought my phone and I recognize an issue about my front camera. When I do a video call on Skype or another video call app, I can see myself in the small window and everything is allright. But other person whom I call says my face covers whole screenlike my view zoomed 10 times. I tried video calling to another phone which was near to me and I saw my self the issue. It is really annoying. I have lollipop 5.1 version. However sorry for my terrible English.

The last thing i could think of is the unecessary deployment of Sony's SteadyShot™ feature.

Try this,(im using Xperia Z2,so it may differs,but try giving it a shot)

Go to Camera > Go to Manual > Switch to Video mode > Press Secondary Camera > Press on the Three Dots > Switch off SteadyShot™

Also try switch to Superior Auto then press the secondary camera and switch off SteadyShot™ as well.

Lastly,toggle all the Settings you can find within the Camera app and switch off all SteadyShot features.

This case is a little weird but i will try my best to help you through it.


Goodluck!

@Man-o-War,

It sounds like it has something to do with how these apps are accessing the camera considering it is only happening on the third party apps. I don't have a solution no but @Ashroft98 seems like he's on the right path. Try his suggestions.
