Pro Cam Performance Issues

[Brandon Keenan]

So over the weekend I went to a few clubs and was using my phone to take photos because my friends all had iPhones. I have the L920 with GDR3 and was using the latest version of Nokia's Procam app. The app was either hit or miss when taking photos. I had the focus light on along with the flash as well as all the other settings set to auto. Sometimes it would produce great photos with correct focus and white balance but other times it seemed to get confused with the strobes or other flashes occurring in the vicinity. Also the focus seems to be incredibly slow even with the focus light and I would have to try and refocus 2-3 more times before actually taking the photo which was frustrating because it misses whatever moment I was trying to capture. Does anyone have a preferred setting for their phone which they have had better luck with it or is it just what it is?

I can't help you out here, but I can tell you I had a similar experience a few weeks ago at a concert. I went to see Pearl Jam on back to back nights, and the first night I snapped a few pics in the arena before and during the show with no issue. The second night I also took pics in the arena before and during the show. The pre-show photos of the stage looked great. Once the show started though, Pro Cam just couldn't focus right. I ended up having to go back to the stock camera. If I was smart I would have saved the pics and tweeted Nokia about it.

If other people run into this issue, please alert Nokia and show examples.

I don't think tweets can help They probably would answer you oh very sorry we're working hard on improving this and that and to bring/send you Lumia to Nokia Care.... useless

RIght, but tweets at least potentially raise public awareness of an issue.

Yea also I noticed an issue with the numbering system. At first I thought I had run out of storage space because I would take a photo and it would not show up as the last photo shot but after I got home it appeared in the camera roll 20-30 photos before my last one which was interesting. I am not sure if it tried filling the gap for deleted photos or if it got confused.
