You need to have a good light source, adjust the exposure, try night mode... etc etc.
Mainly a good light is all you need

here's a little hint. capture the picture in 1.3 mpx. go to file manager,pictures and view the picture there in horizontal mode. now press ur volume control button on the side of the phone and you can zoom into the picture 32x. hope that helps. cheers |

FINE is better as it gives lesser compression, thus maximizes quality -- that's why the size is bigger.
resistance is futile. |

Damn, those pics are UGLY...It should be noted though that the W550i primary feature apart from being a phone is as music device...the camera seems like it was an afterthought.

The W550 has an identical camera as the V800/Z800. I was able to take very decent pics with it. Look at this thread:

You sometimes need a steady hand or have to adjust exposure. But this way I even managed to catch a dolphin in the middle of a jump. |

Agreed the pictures are not superfantastic, but on the other hand I dont think they are that bad either.
Actually I dont think the picturequality is the issue, but our expectations is. Since the release of K750 we have been spoiled with great pictures, some arent even satisfied with this anymore. Since then our expectations from mobilecams have skyrocketet, and I think that if youve tested this cam before the K750 were released when we were used to VGA cams, you would not have been equally dissapointed.
I also think, that with a litle more time getting used to the cam, you will be able to get better pictures. Use the manual settings possible, make sure there are plenty of light as with all cams (especially mobilecams), use fine mode, keep a very steady hand.
Take some time and take lots and lots of pictures to learn where it performs well and where it doesnt.

So this results in: (if I'm not mistaken)
1280x960 no zoom
VGA (640x480) up to 2x zoom
QVGA (320x240) up to 4x zoom
160x120 (not sure if this is available) up to 8x

actually i have only 3 modes:
1280x1024 which offers NO ZOOM
640x480 which offers 2x zoom
and 160x120 with 4x zoom
when i first read the specs on the se site about the cam having 4x zoom i assumed (and any person would too) that i can get 4x in ANY mode whether its 1280 or 160. (SIGH) |
