Display turns dark in landscape mode while used outside in the sun..

[Luddsson]

Hello.

Got my Xperia Z2 a few days ago, and I'm very happy with it.

But today when i was outside, i wanted to take a photo.

So i started the camera, turned the phone to landscape mode, and the display goes black.

Put the phone back in upright position, and the display comes back..

Is this normal?

I took a picture while the display was dark, and the camera was working just fine..

Only that the display got dark..

Is there a setting I'm missing??

Please help and NOOB android user..

Is there anything covering or near the proximity sensor?

Were you wearing sunglasses? The screen is polarized and if used with polarized sunglasses, like I have, you won't be able to see the screen in landscape. 

[Luddsson]

No, nothing covering the sensors, or lenses..

Umm, i might have been using my RayBan's.

They are polarized.

I have to get back on this one, cause this was news to me..

[Luddsson]

Umm   

My display is polarized...

Need i say more??? 

Thanks for the easy "solution", m8's..

I guess it is true what they say..

You learn as long as you live...
