in standby mode or on homescreen, pressing the button without releasing it will open up the camera mode.

In camera mode, pressing the button without releasing, it will focus and pressing it harder until the clicking sound it will capture.

If it doesn't work, take it back to Sony..

Actually it will work, but camery key given in C5 is not so sensitive. For taking photo, we should first press camery key(then it focus) and then leave fraction of second and press once again, then it will capture. We can also do this in camera icon that comes when we open the camera, even there we can focus for long press and leave a fractionth second and then press again for photo capture.

Hello. I'm a c5 user for about a week now. I haven't updated my phone yet. Well after reading the reviews here I need to know if the latest software updates have any bugs and if it's advisable to update my phone

Macharia I actually enjoy MM now, you could do a backup first.. Then apply the update, then do a factory reset or if you prefer, just do a backup and using XC run a software repair.

Okay thanks demigod. So they've fixed all the bugs, like the unresponsive screen? Are there any I need to know about? Do I factory reset before or after the update? I prefer updating via the software update setting on the phone.
