How To Fix Camera Pink Blotch Issue on Xperia Z3

The Sony Xperia Z3 is suffering from a serious camera problem. When a picture is taken with the Xperia Z3, there is a huge pink circle on the middle of the photo. It is very noticeable and this problem is affecting a lot of users.

Looks like camera is the weakest point of the Xperia Z3. A few weeks ago, we talked about how the camera quality degraded when the bootloader would get unlocked because DRM keys would get deleted. Now, users are reporting pink spots on their photos.

So here are a few possible solutions that will fix photos with pink spots on the Sony Xperia Z3 and will make them normal.
