Shutter Speed - 1/5 secs (Night Mode), 1/15 secs (Others Mode MIN), 1/4973 secs (MAX)
Aperture - F2.8 (FIXED)
Digital Camera class
(10MP)- Canon’s s90 Digital Camera - 1/1.7
Smartphone class
(12MP)-Nokia N8 - 1/1.83
(12MP)- Sony Ericsson Satio– 1/2.5″
(12MP)- Samsung Pixon12 – 1/2.5″
(8MP)- Nokia N86 8MP – 1/2.5″
(8MP)- Sony Ericsson Vivaz – 1/3.2″
(5MP) - Iphone 4 - 1/3.2"
The lower the number the better.
The size of a camera sensor will have a big impact on the quality of your pictures. The lens gathers light and directs it towards the sensor, and the sensor records the light to create the image.
Large sensor produces better images
All things being equal, a larger sensor will receive more light than a smaller one, and produce better images. This is especially important in low light photography.
When light levels are low, a smaller sensor will generate a higher amount of noise, which will decrease the quality of the images. This is why the best low-light setups include a camera with a large sensor (usually a
DSLR) and a lens with a large aperture.

[color=blue][b]Hang and Dead Issue[/b][/color]
[spoiler]If ever your N8 failed to boot up (mean pressing the power button but no response), do as follow:
1. Verify is it a SW hang by long press the power button >7.5 seconds to force shutdown the N8. This is for SW hang scenario
2. Plug in the charger and wait for AT LEAST 15 minutes, then try to boot up. This is for depleted battery scenario
3. If you are SURE the battery not depleted and got the DEAD N8, send to NCC for checking as it might be defective hardware related issues.
From experience, the N8 can't be Hard Reset once it's failed to boot up normally or so call "DEAD N8".

[color=blue][b]How to take great pictures for beginners[/b][/color]
[spoiler]As a beginner, we know how bad we take pictures. Here are the tips to get things right.
1. Learn the curve, functions of the camera inside the N8, get to understand the scene mode, flash mode, exposure, white balance, light sensitivity, contrast.
2. Then, take alot of pictures with different light sensitivity, exposure or other settings. Compare the pictures. This is basically trial and error.
3. Next, take alot of pictures with different angle, positions and distance and scenery. Try with different setting as well. Compare the pictures, and choose the best among the best
4. Finally, share the best pictures with your friends.
It will take some time to learn, even professional DSLR user choose the best pictures from alot shot that have taken. Some video to share

[spoiler]Luckily for us, symbian platform is backward compatible. I manage to find an app used for E71 previously to calculate data usage over GPRS/EDGE/3G networks only (wifi not included). This is way better than
our logs there.

[color=blue][b]Nokia N8 Screen Test (Dark Blend and Dark "Stains" during AMOLED near turn OFF mode)[/b][/color]
[spoiler]All, attached here the Screen Test color cards which use to check the Nokia N8 AMOLED screen quality.
1. Extract the .zip and it contain 16 color cards with below setting, all are in 360x640 resolution:
01. ST BLACK-00.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 000000.
02. ST BLACK-01.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 010101.
03. ST BLACK-02.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 020202.
04. ST BLACK-03.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 030303.
05. ST BLACK-04.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 040404.
06. ST BLACK-05.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 050505.
07. ST BLACK-06.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 060606.
08. ST BLACK-07.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 070707.
09. ST BLACK-08.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 080808.
10. ST BLACK-09.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 090909.
11. ST BLACK-10.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0A0A0A.
12. ST BLACK-11.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0B0B0B.
13. ST BLACK-12.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0C0C0C.
14. ST BLACK-13.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0D0D0D.
15. ST BLACK-14.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0E0E0E.
16. ST BLACK-15.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0F0F0F.
2. Open these files with the default photo viewer.
3. Go into an enclose place (total darkness needed) wait for a while (to let our eyes get use to the darkness) and view into the phone screen.
4. From what I've observed the phone AMOLED will start to turn off start at "ST BLACK-04.bmp", "ST BLACK-03.bmp", "ST BLACK-02.bmp", "ST BLACK-01.bmp",
"ST BLACK-00.bmp".
5. The screen dark "stains" will sufface as well during these few color cards.
6. Start from "ST BLACK-05.bmp" onward the dark "stains" will be not so visible.
7. All these have to be done in total darkness room as these defective "stains" are not visible at all when the surrounding are bright.
After you seen these result DO NOT simply bash N8 straight away as we're not sure why/how the AMOLED display technology work and how it perform on other
devices. Anyone can use these color cards to verify on others AMOLED display devices as well... :nod:
