too much noise dude... way too much...
tips for a low noise photo when taking photos, not only with n900 and fCAM, with any camera.
first rule is, use lowest ISO. then try to snap at an angle where most light enters the sensor.
second rule, use flash to enhance the brightness of the subject.
if really no choice, use higher aperture (lower F-Stop) and longer exposure (as much as your hands can handle without blur)
if that does not help, increase the ISO.
only some situations, need to use high ISOplaces that dont allow flash
when you dont want the person photographing know you are photographing (stalker alert)
when it is very dark, i mean really really dark
when you are shooting shiny object that does not behave well with flash
Nice information, but built-in Flash might not be ideal for most situation, it makes the picture unnatural, the brightness, etc.
If we can adjust shutter speed and have a tripod will be better; With digital camera with shutter speed control, we can set the shutter speed to 2~4 seconds and take clear picture in dark room; the result is amazing, but the camera has to be really steady (e.g. tripod) and the object also have to be still.
When taking photos in dark rooms like Karaoke, people will move a lot, so it's hard to take nice picture; Using internal flash is not nice and unnatural, and using too slow shutter speed also nono as it will cause blur if the object moves. Can play with aperture and ISO settings, which will need to sacrifice some noise. I think mobile camera will not work well in these situation, even digital camera struggles but it's a good challenge and experience; DSLR will do great, especially if you have external flash. Unless they decided to turn the lights brighter, but usually people turn the light very dim.
