Is my camera bad? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I just purchased my S III. And I am very worried looking at the camera results. All my pictures look very distorted. I enabled the grid as well to align object and with the grid I clearly see that it is impossible to align objects. See my images. please tell me is the camera so bad, do I need to run and exchange my phone?

Yeah I never get that distortion on mine, but try a factory reset or reflash the firmware first.

I just bought it hours ago... will a factory reset have any effect? I did not mess around with it...
I tried to do Update Software but it tells me it cannot connect to servers... My build number says: IMM76D.I9300XXALF2 -- is that old?

Galaxy S3 camera problem

Hi,
I bought a few days ago a new S3 and for some days all was ok but now , my camera doesn't work properly. In 8 , 3 and 0.3 megapixels when I want to take a shoot the screen and the picture have a lot of pink dots , black lines and bad colors. I had uk SEMB1 flashed with mobile odin pro. I tried to factory reset but no results. Then I flashed XELAA with wipe cache and dalvik cache and still no results.
Can I change only the camera firmware? Could it be a hardware problem? I don t have warranty on this phone.

Would you know how this affect battery?
ONE GR8 8
Still no, I setup it today and I had half battery already. Will see from tommorow.
I installed the update but now it keeps crashing, making the phone freeze completely for a short period. Anyone know of a way to roll back?

Tried these suggestions and none worked. However "Nearby Share" does work.
Found the problem, "Quick Share Agent" was off.

Settings matter...
Sometimes a upgrade or update will toggle stuff, fun huh?
