Can't really say that the camera is any better than my W810i.

Outside pics seem to be better.

Any thoughts on this?



can you make a comparisson ?

i think there are two major usage of that infra red light kinda thing..

i dont know if i heard this with masseur or max_wedge... just cant point.

but firstly, that red coming out is also a support to reduce red-eye, like by lighting on the subject (of course a person), the pupil dilates then the xenon flash fires off... having the subject's eye expose less on the light bulb.... eerrr

then the next is, for focusing, you are right! especially in low light OR completely dark environment! the red light fires off to measure/gauge the length or focal points to be used etc etc... after that didnt you notice, the cam focuses even if you cant either see the subject on the viewfinder clearly.

@abbafan
dont use BestPic if you are not in a completely lit environment... hence outdoors!

if you are inside a room/house and you are close to your subject, try portrait mode, if the light is low then twilight portrait.

and just like plankgatan said, never use auto, it doesnt help.
try playing around with the other functions.. its fun learning things that way...

cheerio!

remember, plankgatan shots are taken with stock drivers.... so think how good your K810 could be if you would only learn to use the lights around you.

enjoy peeps!

Actually, it's just for the autofocus in low-light conditions.

I'm pretty sure that the red light is "red eye reduction" to help remove red eye when taking pictures

No, it's for the autofocus. it illuminates the object in front of the camera so that it can focus properly.
The red eye reduction mode uses a double xenon flash discharge. The first discharge gives the eye the opportunity do adjust. The second one is when the photo is actually shot. Oh, and in this mode the flash is slightly weaker.

Im having sort of a same problem, out door pics turn out great but indoor doesnt matter what ive changed in the settings they dont come out that well, so im convinced its the limit of the camera and i can live with it

Hey. I think i've discovered something on mine too... When you use the camera button on your right side of phone it uses Autofocus. But if you take a shot with your joystick. It just takes the photo directly, without any autofocus

just make sure you let it fouce fully. after the red light goes off, or when the 'sqaure' turns green

Second that, but you can raise the video FPS by modifying or downloading a custom camdriver.
I think you can raise it pretty high but it comes at a cost of bestpic bugs..
