Neogotic church near my home during a summer night storm. Wish Smart Cam was fast enough to catch one of those beatiful thunderbolts

It's the electronic shutter. CMOS sensors are scanned in sweeps of lines and therefore in cameras without mechanical shutters have the parts of the images recorded at different times. Usually it's pretty much unnoticable but sometimes it shows up as skewing or wierd effects like this. My Pentax Q shows the same effect with enses without mechanical shutters in them and so do most compact cameras.So here's a couple of interesting photos taken with my Lumia 920. I was in a turboprop plane and took pictures of the propeller in flight. This is a four-blade prop. I'm not sure what causes this effect, but we also had a Lumia 800 that produced similar pictures...

Looks good yeah, I can see some optical compromizes but nothing huge, impressive for such a small camera indeed.No fake. Manual focus with Proshot + black&white filter. (maybe some contrast added)
It's a great camera.
@aaa6112, Nice photo indeed! Would you mind sharing which app you used to increase the shutter time?
It was early July and June gloom was still lingering around, so I didn't expect much out of my trip to Scripps Pier. However, my patience paid off. About 30 minutes in, the sky began to light up. The sky was on fire that night! And so was the ProShot app on my Nokia Lumia 920. Can't stop loving this app!
