Camera problem

(
I have my P800 for one weeks. Two times I recognize that the camera only shows the sonyericssson logo in the view-finder. When I push the shutter the photo is taken exactly normal.
I guess it happens when the phone is busy, because the first time I pressed the internet button unintentionally and the second time I copied text in another application.
When I turn the phone off and on the camera shows the motive in the view-finder.
Is there anyone who has the same problem or nows an solution.

Yeah, got this same bug about a week ago.. I remember it was when I was trying to take it in low light..

I rebooted and the problem went away. *shrugs*

Think it must be a bug. Othertimes in low light it hasnt done it.

i had it to too, when the phone is low on memory it doesnt give the 'live preview' (it shows the log or just freezes an image)

free up some memoryspace by closing apps or reboot it

SonyEricsson Austria answered, that this problem is not known.
They told me that a new firmware maybe can remedy the deficiencies.
I asked at an Austrian firm which was recommended from SonyEricsson if I can do this myself. No, I have to bring my P800 and it takes one hour to install the new firmware.
