When will Sony release the new firmware 14.3.A.0.761?

I'm getting tired of my Xperia Z1 camera. It's super grainy and blurry. Superior Auto mode doesn't help. In Manual setting the ISO and Red-Eye Reduction option don't work. They are unclickable.

My Xperia SP works a very liiiiiiittle bit better in Manual settings > Resolution 2MP (4:3), Night Portrait scene, Flash OFF. But with the Xperia Z1, it seems like there's no other way or option to take even a single good picture.

Sony Software Team..... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, fix it!!!!!!!!!
Hopes Xperia Z1 and SP are not my last phones by Sony brand.

Hi, XperianceZ1

Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation, but didn't you read my post clearly? I said my ISO and Red-eye reduction option/feature don't work, in other words they are unclickable.

Superior Auto option in low light conditions? Oh man... that doesn't help. The picture get even worse.

I do not understand one thing, everyone is talking to the camera picture bad image of five attempts, one being, sharp and beautiful,,, focus is lost?? soni why it is not solved,,, why not listen,,,, their comments are always the same, they gave you a dirty lens,,,, did you put your finger,,,, and will not recognize the camera produces the bad, and that nobody that does not want to settle, now with a new camera upgrade is delayed 6-7 seconds .. . the images are grainy, no sharp focus, it's a shame for the phone may remanded paid dearly, and they just make new models, n eresavaju problems, because I'm not change the brand of phone,,,, I read various forums, everywhere ase people complain about the poor quality camera

Word said the new firmware 761 has been released in China.

Waiting and looking for forward to it. But if it doesn't even solve the camera issues. I'm pretty sure and without a doubt... I'll sell or trade this Xperia Z1 for something good as soon as possible. I don't have much time to deal with a broken stuff like this Sony phone.

It seems that camera on Z1 is a kind of broken promise. I had DSC-QX10 which uses the same module (at least in terms of size and mpix) and pictures were very pleasant and without this annoying noise. Every firmware update it gets even worse, not to mention few second delay in camera startup or 'camera not available' errors. On 4.2 firmware it was doing pictures almost instantly.

If I knew and read this forum before I went to the Sony store... I would never have bought Sony Xperia Z1, ever.
