Getting used to the camera slowly...

Amazing edits man!, you are proving wrong the guy who started a thread to complain about the 930's camera!

Think you will find that thread was not complaining about the camera, it was pointing out my experiences coming from an iOS device. And relating to the learning curve of the Nokia device.

Also if you actually took the time to read the thread, you would notice a lot of people (even fellow newcomers to WP) provided useful info. Albeit some tw@s decide to be unconstructive.

You may also notice I have post 2 images in this thread, showing my getting to grips with the camera. The images I took have not been edited at all in any app and were taken straight off the phone.

Tomorrow I will probably put some test video... I did already one continual 14-minutes shot, and I am really afraid that OIS during video shooting is doing terrible job.

I did a video as I walked along. As soon as I pressed record I noticed a considerably less shake as I walked. Was pretty cool.

Anybody able to make some comparison pictures between L925 and L930?

I would like to see those low light shots. Auto and manual settings.

Nothing fancy, just me and the dog getting to know the camera and Video Tuner.

I have (a maybe stupid) question: For both creating photos and videos you can zoom. And to a certain extent this is almost lossless. As far as I have read the lossless experience is up to 2 x zoom while shooting, and in the video, a 3x (1080 p) or 4x (720 p) lossless zoom factor.

What I now ask myself: How do i know as a user when this level is reached. Because if I zoom in photo mode I can zoom in seemingly much more than 2 x. There is no indication or any trick I can see where directly on the device when the lossless zoom ends?

That would be more than useful from my point of view, especially with videos.

What I don't understand is, if you take a look at this comparision

Nokia Lumia 930 vs. Nokia Lumia 925 - GSMArena.com

Lumia 930's sensor size is 1/1.25 while 925's sensor size is 1/1.30 (smaller than 930) and still 925 produces low light images as good as Lumia 920.

So why can't 930 and 1520 produce better low light images than 925 or atleast as good as 920?

f2.4 (930,1520) vs f2.0 (920,925) It is very big difference how much light sensors can collect in certain amount of time. 920 and 925 have also bigger individual pixels which doesn't generate so much noise compared to 930 and 1520.

But you can take equally good low light shot whit 930 and 1520. You just need to use manual settings since auto settings use so high ISO values due f2.4 lens, that noise levels are so high which destroys details from photos. OIS is much better in 1520 and 930 which compensates higher f-value allowing longer exposure times wo blurring. That doesn't help with moving objects though.

I'm yet to see how Nokia cyan update improves low light shots. If manual settings are used, 930 should trump 925/920.

In Nokia Camera, the max loseless zoom in photos for 4:3 ratio is 1.9x and 16:9 is 1.7x. You can zoom in much more with the Default Camera app and ProShot but there will be a loss of quality.

The reason they reduced the size of sensors, was to compensate the thickness. 925 is thinnner than 930 and still it has bigger lense than 930.

The 930 has a bigger sensor than the 920/925 but narrower aperture, and the reason for that was answered in an AMA with Nokia's imaging guys:

Q: Why go with a narrower f2.4 aperture on the 1520/Icon/930 instead of a wider one to allow more light in?
A: It was the best balance for overall image quality. Lumia Cyan update makes the low light performance much better.

The bigger sensor allows it to receive more light despite the narrower aperture.

Thx. i havent known that. Do you know if the same applies for Videos ? i mean is the max zoom in Nokia Camera there also lossless ?

Yes, I believe it is 3x lossless zoom in 1080p and 4x lossless zoom in 720p with Nokia Camera, but I haven't found a way to confirm it.

Sorry, but do you know what "lossless zoom" is? it's just normal digital zoom. They call it lossless because the zoomed-in picture is still at least 5 megapixels, but it's still nothing different from digital zoom. it's lossy, the sensor is at max capable of 20,7MP, I believe 19 if you shoot a square picture (the maximum area you can get with a rectangle in a circle).
When using "lossless" zoom, the pixel count will drop. it's simple as that, exporting the high-res image and cropping it on a pc delivers exactly the same result.
