Camera problem, extra wide-angle effect

[Egil]

I got my XZ yesterday and the camera is constantly in a kind of extra wide angle or fish eye mode. When i try to take a picture of something straight, a table or a widow, the edge looks curved. I have tried all the settings i can find but can't find a solution. How do i get a normal lens setting?

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just a setting that i can't find or is there something wrong with my phone?

Just did an indoors video with Steadyshot off, as if it's on it crops the image, and while filming the furniture looked like it was wobbling or doing a freaking belly dance. With steadyshot on it still maintains that horrible effect. I'm really pissed off 

Errors occur, but i'm on my second XZ phone going on to the third

Barrel/pincussion distortion in these pictures does not look bad at all.

The only distortion that is prominent in these pictures is perspective distortion (doors wider at the top than at the bottom), but that is entirely your fault. It has nothing to do with the lens or the camera. Every camera in existence would do exactly the same thing.

What he means is what I thought.... The camera was angled down.

In other words, i should point completely parallel to the object i'm shooting, correct?

In any case, i wasn't refering to the perpective but more to the following, were the difference between the upper, middle and bottom  part isn't proportional if you were to draw a straight line:

Another example,

This is my Xperia XZ's box on a leveled surface completely parallel to the phone, thanks for the flat bottom of the device:

And this is when i put the phone closer to the box:

In my eyes, i see a strange alignment/effect of those letters on the second picture

I would really appreciate some opinions on the photos i took using the following picture link to test

My Z2 also curves the reality but on your point i see its totally normal, you can check my pics response to Z5 fish eye effect. The lens is round to see more, but the picture is squered by after process, in other way you would get a "ball photo" like human eye sees world, but screens aren't in circle shape, but square.
