    • Because doing so may cause the cameras on the phone to malfunction, avoid the following when using the phone:
      • Do not use a cover unless designed specifically for your Xperia® phone.
        The cameras will not work correctly if a cover blocks the lenses or sensors.
      • Do not take pictures with fogged or dirty lenses.
      • Do not take photos with the lenses covered by a protective film or other objects.
      • Do not take pictures with your fingers or a cover close to the lenses.
        If they are too close, the flash may reflect off your fingers or the cover, resulting in poor photo or movie quality.
