Anyone has upgraded to this firmware? Looks like the yellow tinting got worse.

Yes.

I took a pic right before i updated (auto non-flash and flash) and after updating. Looks like the auto system will choose lower ISO instead of high ISO (the earlier issue) but the WB is further off for no reason. I will try to upload the pic later.

Nope. Those Steve mentioned was the fix in Nokia Camera 4.3.0.8. Not the firmware upgrade. With the latest firmware upgrade, the ISO is even lower than before but it came out more yellowish. Not sure why yet.

From my own account (simple tests but not really scientific), I noticed color tends to be more yellowish in photo taken indoor. However, it's fixed by the most recent Nokia Camera.

Blur due to shutter speed too low or not focused? If the shutter speed is too low, can result in two consequences: (1) motion blur of the moving subject and/or (2) motion blur caused by your shaking hands.

You may want to start exploring how to use the manual setting. In fact this is the only phone that can change the shutter speed lol. So make good use of it.

Normally (to capture static subjects) we practise and find out how low shutter speed can we go before the hands start to shake. You have to find out yourself by practising and see how stable your hands can hold. The longer it is, the lower is the ISO you can set so that your image will have lower noise. The auto setting tends to use very high speed shutter to eliminate shake. To compensate that, the ISO is required to be set high as well...resulting in higher noise and lower dynamic range.

However, for moving subjects I notice I have to use at least 1/60 s. But this depends what kind of subjects (human or a car? etc) you're shooting and whether it's lowlight or not.

Flickr and Skydrive. Remember to put your photos private though.

Yeap. For full reso photo, no other way. Must plug into a PC. A shame because 808PV doesn't have this limitation.

Other than the filter and UI, not really. It consumed much more battery than Nokia Camera and it used the same oversampling technique from Nokia. Still have yellow tint in 1020.

Yes it has similar manual setting as Nokia Camera, probably a bit more (macro autofocus). The only thing I do not like about Pro Cam is the battery consumption and the touch to shoot. I prefer touch to focus and shoot in different button due to OIS.

"Honestly, I want a phone with better color reproduction in indoor".

It's not an issue as long as it's not artificial light. In indoor artificial light something is really wrong with the color that no WB setting can help it. The yellow tint is there. Hopefully they will fix it in next update.

4:3 vs 16:9 aspect ratio.

I do not have any video uploaded (mobile internet cap..sorry lol). But I can assure you it is still very noisy at low light. My 808PV did not have such issue at all. Sigh.

Some Le Tour de Langkawi shots taken with Lumia 1020. http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidletterbo...57641697658794/

A few things to take note:
1) All shots using 5MP mode.
2) I made a huge mistake. This is the first time I shoot anything under bright sun. Because the lightning was harsh (they were facing the sun's direction) I thought the dynamic range wasn't enough and I tried to recover the shadow area by +0.7EV. Turned out that it's the display screen that wasn't bright enough under the sun. That made most shots overexposed.
3) Most of them are PP-ed using Flickr. I don't like L1020's colour (too warm). Still prefer 808PV's colour.

Under the bright sun...even the lowest ISO is more than enough. Even you select auto ISO, it will choose ISO 100.

I tried not to zoom. The supersampling works the best without zooming at all.

BTW, it all depends on the condition. Those pics were taken under the bright sun. So, ISO100 is enough. Shutter speed also very high (at least 1/1000s!).

Ya. It's a huge mistake. Actually I had to throw out a lot of pics due to overexposure.
Thank for your advice!
