[jart_aziz]

I love to take pic, but I cant use the camera button to take pic.. As I pressed the button, it only showed the camera is focusing but, no pic is taken..
Please help me solve this..

Hi there,

Try to press and hold the camera button until you hear 2 sounds(clicks)?

Also, do you have: Camera App>Capturing Method( or something like that)>Camera Key Only.

Cheers.

Its hard to press the camera button of xperia c. Not sure if im the only one experiencing this. But i can take a pic. Just press the button and hold when the focus box turns blue press it again.

Hi oldgohar..
I try your method, but still cant snao pic..
Hi alexrx..
I open the camera app, I cant find any capturing method in the setting.. Is it the setting button on the upper left side of the app..?

Hi there,

Yes it is.

Try the following:

Dial *#*#7378423#*#*>Service Tests>test your camera with camera key.

Also, 

Settings>Apps>All>Camera> Clear Data/Cache> Force Stop+Restar your phone and then try again.

....If you're still unable to use camera button, repair your software using Sony Update Service

Cheers.

Hi alexrx..
I tried using the service test n another method by deleting cache, restart.. Still the cmera button wont functioning..
If I update using sony update service, do I need to do backup? My OS already 4.2.2

Hi there,

You are definitely have to back up your phone, because your data from internal storage will be deleted during the repair process.

Cheers.
