This is a shot from the weekend, my sister's wedding day. Taken in Adelaide CBD, South Australia, Australia.

Whilst I know I can take much better shots, just thought i'd post and introduce myself a bit :)

Bought a Lumia 1520 about 2 months ago now and loving it. Still some things that need ironing out but that's not a fault of the hardware.

Hi to all and I will post better shots as time progresses :D

There is going to be movement on stage so you want to be sure that shutter speed is fast enough. I suggest that you use manual shutter speed. Try out different values between 1/15 - 1/60 seconds. It depends on how much light you have available but make sure ISO is kept maximum around 600 value. After that there is going to be huge downgrade on image quality. You can use slight overexposure and it masks out some of the noise on higher ISO values. If there is lot of light avalable make sure shutter speed is fast enough that ISO value doesn't hit 100. You get overexposed images since ISO cant go below 100.

Take few test shots on different shutter speed and check if there is blurring from movement of your subjects. Lock shutter speed to lowest value where you don't get any blurring. If you shoot scenes where is no movement use manual ISO anywhere between 100-400 and leave shutter speed auto. Just make sure shutter speed doesn't exceed 1 second since after that you need to have extremely steady hands.

Sunrise on Swan Lake, side by side shot with Nokia Lumia 1520 and Sony Alpha A77 + Sony 20mm/2.8. Both under the same condition and same "fast" post processing.

Nokia Lumia 1520 :

Sony Alpha A77 + Sony 20mm/2.8:

The Nokia shot has a magenta cast, and that's not too bad, but it can be fixed by adjusting colors. I didn't adjust colors to compare them under the same post processing. That lighting is a big challenge for any camera, the Sony colors are better but that's not exactly accurate either.

I don't take a lot of videos with my phone but this video seems kind of jerky to me. Any suggestions? I am using a SanDisk Extreme Plus 64 GB microSDHC Class 10.

To me it seams more shaky than jerky. There is too much camera movements (left-right-left, up-down-up), besides all hand shakes.

As a general rule, you should use a tripod to prevent hand shakes, and rather let the camera/phone stay stationery without any movement. If you need to pan, it should move slowly and smoothly in one direction (slowly left-right or up-down, or similar mono-directional movement. It's not a good idea to combine these movements in the same shot). Never pan back to previous direction (left-right and then left again, up-down and then up again, or similar movements).

No edit
I think the camera is ok. The 1020 is better but my 1520 rocks as a daily driver.
