In this video I show you how to quickly and easily paste the protective film on the smartphone's camera.
*******Unfortunately, the smartphone manufacturers for some reason lately started to use instead of glass, plastic eyes for the camera. A plastic very quickly covered with scratches. In my sony xperia z1 compact camera zatsarapalas to such an extent that the photos were obtained simply awful. After replacing the back cover, together with the eye camera, I decided to protect it with a protective film. It turned out very well, so I decided to seal the lens film on another smart phone Sony m4 aqua and shot this video. You can apply to any smartphone with a camera.

Hey all,
Does anyone here have any tips to protect the camera lens of this phone? It sticks out the back a little and I'm afraid it will get scratched over time. Is that too made of gorilla glass, is it scratch resistant? Or should i go for a case.
Problem with the case is that dust is getting accumulated between Bezel and screen and i hate it.
I have some scratches on the lens, but haven't noticed any affect of that in photos.
But if you want not to scratch it more, then either you have to put a protective scratch guard, you can see Martinfield website for that OR you have to use a case which will cover the lens from scratch when you place it on a flat hard surface. You can use a good case for that, like- CM Tough, Pop, SGP Neo etc., but those cases as you said will keep the dust inside the bezel and the case. If you don't like that, then you have to use a Flip Top cover, some leather good ones are available like, SGP Argos, Zenus Prestige Carbon etc.
Regards.

thanks Bro.
I have just thinking about that yesterday. I am afraid that it could get scratch while dragging the phone off the table or some other surface...
My idea: buy very cheap screen protector (1 €/$), cut it and place it on the camera lens. I will do that as soon as I buy one.
Hi!
I'm currently using a Z5 Compact with one Slim TPU cover (Orzly Flexi-Slim Case). But I'd like to stop using a case.
The only thing that worries me is the camera, which is bit exposed.
If the camera was scratched by laying the phone at a desk surface, I'd like to know if it's possible to recover it replacing only the back cover.
Does somebody know if the back cover also includes the "glass" area of the camera? (I assume that it is possible to repair this on a Sony store or something like that, without loosing the warranty, right? Paying money)
thanks and best regards,
Sebastian.
So you're thinking of using the Z5C with a naked back, then?
The camera lens is not part of the main glass back of the phone. There's a circular cutout in the back that allows the camera lens to poke through. (The flash lens, however, is part of the glass back).
That said, the camera lens has a little silver-coloured ring around it, and the lens itself is set back. When you have the phone sitting on a desk, the lens will be raised above the surface slightly. Unless you regularly set the phone down on sandy/dirty surfaces, it'll probably be ok.
If you're really worried, you might want to look into getting a tempered/hardened glass back protector. That'll raise the camera a bit further off the desk without making the phone much thicker.
FYI, the camera lens cover is made of plastic, so you should definitely try not to scratch it. I personally use a dbrand skin, so it's slightly raised above the ground.

No wonder my outer lens gets so easily scratched. I have these mystery blemishes even with a case on... luckily the blemishes are located away from the camera lens itself. So is replacing the entire back the only solution to replace this "plastic" lens covering?

Just wondering, so I can wait a while before buying a tempered glass
I just picked up my phone from post office and there is a plastic screen protector inside the box. The phone itself had those factory plastic films at front and back, both I took off.
I think he is asking if it had one like the z3 compact, where you pick at the edge of the screen with a sharp knife and peel off a shutter proof screen protector. Interesting to know, shall I have a pick at mine?
Cmon who is going to be first to pick at their screen corner with a sharp object to see if there is an anti shatter film on the front like with the z3 compact.
I read in a review that a screen protector came with the z5 Compact (I don't remember which review) but I didn't get one in the box. Would be cool if there is on on it already but I'm not ballsy enough to scratch at my screen! The screen does feel different than most phones I've used and feels more slippery. Not sure if that indicates anything.
Hi Z5C owners,
The Z1C and Z3C camera lenses scratched very easily, leading to flare from bright light sources.
How is the Z5C lens holding up for you? Are there many scratches on it?
Thanks!

I also have the same problem, it turned out that this was not glass and a small circle of plastic, for the money, and could attach glass
i bought devilcase lens protector, it's great, pictures are clear and sharp
Nillkin tempered glass comes with back screen protector and for the lens as well.
You really need to put something on that "cheap" lens cover. Else, by time, pictures would flare badly on light sources.
Had to learn from my Z1C and Z3C
Hello XDA!
I bought the Sony Xperia Pro-I in the beginning of December 2021 and love how this phone captures pictures. They are simply put amazing.
Unfortunately, the quality of the phone is much left to be desired. As you can see on the pictures, the fingerprint sensor is chipped or scratched. The camera lens has a deep scratch. The rear panel housing has some sort of black spots that cover almost all of the back panel.
I know some of you might say that I am being careless but that is not the case. I always use my phones in cases and have a tempered glass screen protector on. I am very careful not to put the phone inside with any keys, sharp objects or the like. I had many phones including phones from Apple, Oneplus, Samsung, Xiaomi, Google etc and never ever had I had a scratch on a camera lens or some dark spots on the rear panel of the phone or even a scratch on a fingerprint sensor.
May anyone tell me if they are experiencing the same kind of faults with this phone? Does anyone know what are those black spots on the rear housing?
Notes:
- I noticed that dust collects really quickly inside the cases that I use and I always take the case off just to clean with a soft cloth the dust and then put it back in the case.
- The dark spots on the rear panel housing don't come off when I try to wipe it with a soft wet cloth or even with alcohol.
The ‘sratch” on the lens is rather a crack, the ring is also dented there, not sonys fault. The fingerprint probably got hit by somethins as well. But the back glass imperfections are disappearing, maybe you something got spilled on it. Mine looks perfect, brand new, have daily driven it since Jan. Use the sony leather case, which was a disappointment, the fake leather “melted” and came off. Junk.
I think you've got unlucky and something hit your camera lens quite hard. My Pro-I is in use since December without a case and it's still in nearly mint condition.
Agree. I owned 2 Pro-i and was very disapointed with the build quality. Back cover was not tight, and the bezel coating is easily damaged with nail scratch. After using a few weeks, the back cover will have some stains like grease...
