@ fullforce
Those white spots, if you only get them when shooting low-light photos, then the spots are probably dead or stuck pixels on the sensor. All sensors have these, no matter the sensor type.

Thanks! So i won't be a faulty camera then? It's not "ordinary noice".
I never saw those white spots when taking pics with the same kind of settings with my nokia N73. But i think maybe nokia use very strong noce reduction and that may take those spots/dots away(but makes the picture lesser in other aspects) I think, when trying to take a pic on/in my dark closet, with the setting mentioned before(i think it's without flash), that it might be the case that you can reduce the spots somewhat if you hold the camera perfectly still.

If you will: try to take a pic from where you are of your street or something with the setting landscape twilight and see what result you get.

Out of interest have you tried an indoor hand held test with the K850i image stabilizer switched on for a comparison?




I have, and got strange results. With the stabiliser on, the exposure went a bit wild, and it wouldn't use the focus assist (triple LED).

On investigation, it seems that setting the stabiliser on causes the camera to ignore the ISO setting you have given it.

In the following pic, the black text is what I have set in the menus (and is reflected by the little icons). The red text is what the camera actually did when the photo was taken.

Looks like some serious work is needed on the firmware!

Perhaps this can explain what you see.


Digital IS

Some cameras have Digital Image Stabilization, which simply boosts camera sensitivity (ISO) to obtain a faster shutter speed. No hardware is involved. Faster shutter speeds help prevent blur.

However, the higher the ISO, the greater the chance for noise that can degrade image quality. In some cases where digital image stabilization is used, in-camera processing corrects image blur, similar to when an image is sharpened with photo editing software. How effective in-camera sharpening is can vary.
