Z2 Camera issues after update to marshmallow

Since upgrading to marshmallow, the pictures taken don't come out as crisp as before. Any solution or a fix?

My camera has started hanging my phone, if i use video or take a photo I cannot use the return on screen button to close the camera.

Usually I lock the screen and re-open it and then get stuck looking at the lock screen picture. I need to press the power button a few seconds so I am able to reboot my Z2. Before the Android 6 update I used the camera a lot and never faced this issue. Any idea why suddenly my camera is cuasing my phone to need a reboot?

Thank god I'm not the only one that has camera issues along with some other issues .
For the camera , indeed pictures aren't coming out as crisp as they used to be ! For a 20 mp camera , instead I'm getting blurry pictures with increased noise , at first I thought it didn't focus well so I obviously tried again but pictures are just blurry, this marshmallow update definetly ruined the camera experience instead of improving it 😑

That's how it always have been, a lot of users just realized this, but it has been the same since the phone was released, even from the Xperia Z, it's called pixel binning, use the search bar.

Probably you need to replace the battery.

Thanks alot for your cooperation Slightly_smiling_Face but the problem is the battery is built in...i guess it's not that easy to replace it?
And what about the camera issue
