I bought the Xperia Z ultra yesterday..... It makes me amazing features & I'm also really happy to got this amazing device... but It's 8 MP camera is really bad quality comparing with my old Xperia 10... xo many noise in back & front camera.. I don't know it's not included flash... Can you guys improve camera quality with software updates???? if not, i will change another device....

based on all other Xperias Sony doesn't quite improve the camera that much with updates, my suggestion is since the Z Ultra doesn't have flash that you take your pictures in well lit areas.

I dun means like this... We can't take good photo in dark place bcoz there is no flash in the back camera... It's not mainly error.... Even under the good lighting, the camera produce a photo with noises & it doesn't show reality colour... for eg. I took the white colour wall photo, but it produce yellow colour instead of white...

No Screenshot option in power menu, means now you have to take screenshots by the combination of “Power + Volume down” button.

Indeed

press and hold both keys at the same time

power + volume down = screenshot

power + volume up (8 seconds) = restart

do you have a film protector covering the camera lens? it might be good idea to repair your phone with SUS or pCC

No film protector.... I've already checked the latest software. Actually, I'm mobile reseller.. Not only this one but also all Xperia Z ultra are the same in camera. 😞 I've no idea why Sony doesn't put the flash light & earpiece..... I really like & want to use this phone if the camera is good... Help me!!!!!
