808 PureView - noise from auto-focus mechanism dur...

Hi,
Just bought an 808 PureView, and have noticed a very audible noise from the auto-focus during video recording.
Is this normal?
I don't want to send it back if it is a "design feature", as I'm loving everything else about it!
Thanks!

Thats totally normal. I've seen on my 808 too while shooting in complete silent environment.
THANK YOU

  • How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes?

    How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes? Sometimes as a page is loading, I scroll down the page...only to have the page jump back to where there is a text box, with a blinking cursor, after the page is finished loading. It is an annoying feature and I want to turn it off.

    Some pages use an onload event to set the focus to a text area or search field.
    You can try NoScript to see if that blocks it.

  • How do you disable OS X (when you focus on a window) from auto-focusing on windows from the same (or similar) program on another screen

    Hi,
    I have what is quickly becoming a major nuisance, I hope someone here knows more than me (hopefully about to change this behaviour..?).
    Whenever I click on e.g. excel on one screen, the excel windows in the background on my other screen is automatically brough to the front, hiding the window I actually want to be able to see. And if I have no excel windows on that screen, it will automatically bring e.g. MS word to the front instead.
    Does anyone know of a way to disable this extremely annoying behaviour? It seems silly to have to minimize every single window (yes, I have a lot open at any given time, and need to transfer data between several different programs) just to be able to look at windows from two different programs at the same time.
    Cheers,
    W

    this is NOT how apps behave on a Windows PC. There, the different windows of any app focus independently.
    Mmm, no, not really. All Windows apps run inside an application frame. Nothing for that app can exist outside the frame. Once you are in the frame of a given app, all of (example) Excel's open documents are also stuck inside the frame. Along with any palettes or other objects for that app. You can take it off full screen display like below, but each app, and everything associated with it is in its own frame.
    I mention this to show that you can do the same thing on your Mac. Where you said:
    I'm clicking/highlighting to the foreground (this also applies if I use alt+tab in Windows PC; you cycle through every single excel you have open,
    The equivalent on the Mac is to press Command+` (same key as the tilde ~, which should be directly above the Tab key). So it's Command+Tab to switch between apps, and Command+` to rotate between open documents within an app.
    So anyway, in the same manner you would arrange your Windows apps as shown above so you can see the contents of both apps, you simply arrange your Mac apps' documents the same way. Adjust the size of each open document as necessary so you can see the relevant information.
    Just like if a person were going from Mac to Windows, it's "different". Folders, files and apps? All the same concept. Saving and deleting files? Pretty much the same. But if you're very used to one, the other seems odd until the need to think about "simple" steps that aren't performed quite the same way as the OS you're used to becomes habit, and it no longer seems odd anymore.

  • Auto focus on my 2 year old T3i has stopped working, any suggestions.

    auto focus has stopped working.  camera is almost 2 years old.  I can take pictures at normal distance but if I try to take a picture that requires zoom it will not work and all my pictures are fuzzy.

    Check the lens and make sure the "AF/MF" switch is in the "AF" position (Auto-focus is on).  
    Do you own other lenses and does this happen with them?
    Are other functions of the lens working?  e.g. if you change the f-stop does it affect the exposure (showing that the camera is communicating witht the lens to control the blades.)
    Make sure the contacts on the body and lens are clean.  Clean them only with a non-abbrassive cloth (e.g. don't use a "pencil eraser" for example) because the gold plating on the contacts is thin and can be worn off if you use an abbrassive cleaner.
    Eject the battery from the camera... wait several minutes, then re-insert (this basically "reboots" the firmware.  Turning off the power switch doesn't "technically" shut it down... it puts it into a kind of "sleep" state.  But removing the batteries, allowing any capacitors with stored power to self-discharge, then re-inserting the batteries will cause the camera to boot fresh and this will sometimes clear up problems.
    It's also possible that there's a problem with the auto-focus mechanism in the lens itself and the lens would need service to repair it, but you may as well rule out other things before you resort to sending it in.

  • External isight auto focus noise

    i have an isight that appears to be working fine (it focuses, displays image, has sound, etc) however i have not used it in quite some time.
    my question is that i can clearly hear the focus mechanism in this external firewire isight and i am checking to see from someone who uses these a lot if that is normal.
    i have used the built in isight in my macbook and i never hear any noise although i realize that they are very different units.
    is it normal to be able to hear the auto focus noise for an external unit?

    Thanks Tony,

  • Nokia 808 PureView : Focus problem?

    Hello Nokia,
    I've recently bought the Nokia 808 PureView, and when I went back home to test the camera quality. I was very disappointed. Anyone here can help with my focus issue?
    Whenever I tap to the desired subject I want to focus, it doesn't seem to do anything but BEEP.
    Anyone help?

  • Nokia 808 Pureview- No downloading from Nokia Musi...

    Guys, I just got a Nokia 808 Pureview about 20 days back after a fantastic 2 years with my N8 (on Anna).
    Initially, I was downloading music fine. But one day, I tried downloading music from PC. I logged on to ovi.music.com using my Nokia ID, and tried downloading few songs from the site on my Laptop....
    It asked me to download a software called "Ovi Music Downloader". I downloaded & installed it. But songs did not get downloaded even then, on my PC....
    Now, the problem is that when I try downloading it in my mobile, it just pretends to download, but the download never fills up ... in other words, no song is getting downloaded now.
    Kindly help me to get my mobile Music downloads working again... What should I do now?
    Additional Details: I just checked on my PC: I am not logged into Nokia Ovi Music site. Also, my subscription has 340 days remaining.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Gaurav, Problem Solved! Problem Solved!! I got the solution. Read on... In your mobile:
    1. Open Nokia Music and Go to your "Download History", and sort by "Date"only (it is default).
    2. One by one from the top, click each song to open its window, and see if it is downloaded or not.
    * If it is downloaded, it will show a "Play" Icon on the right side of the song... Ignore it, exit this song by clicking "Back" and move on to the next song...
    * But, If it is not downloaded, it will show a "download arrow" icon... If it does show download icon, click on it to start the download, then "LONG PRESS/ HOLD AND PRESS" the same icon, till it shows you "Cancel Download? ".... Click "Yes" to cancel the download...
    3. Now move on to the next song in the List of "Download History", and do the same. If it downloaded, leave it.
    But, if it is not downloaded, click on download icon and when download starts, long press on the same icon to stop download. Same thing.
    4. After doing this on 5-6 songs, exit Nokia Music and restart it... You should see smaller numbers now in the Blue box.
    5. When this "blue circle" number reaches 1, keep on searching and you will find a DOWNLOAD STUCK file... This file's download will be stuck... It should show half downloaded, but it won't download further...
    Stop this download by long pressing the download/ play icon.... That's it.
    Problem solved. Now you can download any song, even the same song which was stuck. Today, I just downloaded the entire Christmas Album which had a song which stuck, and few more other songs.
    If you don't understand anything, then I'll add screenshots too.
    NOTE: My problem maybe solved, but its sad that Nokia ignored such problems even on complaining to them. Yes, 5-6 days ago, I sent a mail to customer care, and I didn't get a reply as yet. Just because we got a dying platform doesn't mean that it is bad and will not be supported.

  • Moving Away From Auto Modes

    Moving Away From Auto-Exposure   
    Exposure modes
    Auto-exposure mode on your camera does provide generally good photographs, but taking full advantage of the more advanced capabilities of your digital camera will provide even better results. Most modern camera’s have a number of preset exposure modes, and some more advanced cameras’ (especially DSLR’s) have two semi-manual exposure modes and full manual exposure control.
      Portrait mode
    The most common preset is the portrait setting. This mode should have the flash on at all times in case it is needed for correct exposure, as well as isolating the subject in a way that the background and foreground are out of focus and only the subject is in focus.
    Action mode
    Another common preset is the action setting. As the name implies this is a great setting to use if you are photographing sports, or any subject that is moving fast and you want to stop its action.
    Landscape mode
    Landscape preset is also a common preset mode on modern cameras. This mode should have the flash off since the subject is most often outside and well lit, and this mode should also keep detail in the foreground and especially the background in focus.
    Macro mode
    For those of you that like taking images of small subjects (i.e. flowers) most digital cameras also have a preset called macro mode. Macro mode should have the flash on at all times since at higher magnifications even the slightest movement of the subject will blur the image. The flash not only effectively stops the movement of the subject but also evenly illuminates the subject.
    Night mode
    Night mode as the name implies is a preset some camera’s have for taking photographs at night. This mode is generally the least useful preset due to the fact that nighttime photography is perhaps the most challenging photography there is. This mode will turn the flash off, and also turn what’s called noise reduction on. Noise reduction is a setting that helps eliminate the digital noise that is caused by low levels of light on digital camera sensors.
    Semi-manual modes
    Most DSLR’s and some more advanced point and shoot cameras have two semi-manual modes and full manual mode. The semi-manual modes are aperture priority which generally controls what is in focus by adjusting the aperture (the size of the opening in the lens), and shutter priority controls how long the shutter is open which either will blur the image or stop action. The last mode is full manual which allows the user to control both the shutter and the aperture to get the correct exposure allowing the greatest creative control over your images, but requiring the most expertise.
    Moving Away From Auto-Flash   
    Turn off your Auto-Flash
    Most digital camera’s while set on auto-flash, especially point and shoot cameras, don’t allow the user to choose when the flash is on or off. This will usually produce adequately exposed images, but just because your subject is correctly exposed doesn’t mean it’s lighted how it should be. Controlling how you light your subject will make the difference between good images and great ones. To do this you should definitely consider moving away from auto-flash.
    Fill Flash
    When shooting outdoors the camera might read that there is enough light and not fire the flash, but if your shooting a subject that is back lit or top lit a small amount of flash will light up your subject and provide superior results ( this is called fill flash ).
    Red eye reduction
    Another flash setting that most cameras provide is red eye reduction. This setting will fire a series of flashes at your subject to contract their pupils so the flash doesn’t reflect the red from their retinas back to the sensor. This mode works fairly well, but due to the time needed for the pre flashes your subject often will have changed by the time the image is actually taken.

    Hey Gabriel,
    You don't have to feel sorry.
    I'm sorry that you feel sorry to people who dislike your products.
    Could you tell me how to precompile JSP files and deploy? And, I would like to turn off JSP compilation functionality on live servers completely.
    What's the benefit of using database pm? I'm aware of tarpm bug where it deletes data tar files during tarpm optimization and index merge. Does databasepm have the same problem?
    If I use databasepm, can I be free from regular maintainance such as datastore garbage collection, tarpm optimization..etc? I find it very difficult to run such maintainance scripts on a live server where the repository is heavily utilized 24/7.
    I wouldn't mind shutting down the server and run those maintanence offline. Actually, it would be much better if I could run through maintanance offline.
    Also, I heard that there is a bug for share nothing clustering for CQ5.4. I'm not sure if this is jackrabbit bug. If CQ instances are all clustered and I can take one out at a time for offline maintance, it would be superb.
    And, what about backups and restoration? Why aren't there set of maintenance scripts? There are documentations with script snippets on knowledgebase... But why aren't there official maintenance tools?
    And, where is a book? There are documentations that explain what dispatcher is, what repository is, how to develop custom components, how to configure repositories, ... etc. But why isn't there a book that covers architecture for production site, application development practices, maintenance know-hows?
    Does this all mean that Adobe does not care for CQ, and it will not pursue CQ as a viable technology stack for ADEP WEM? (which will be an excellent news by the way).
    Or is it Adobe's scheme to monetize support  (less publicaly available documents/books.. more support tickets)?

  • 808 Pureview - Camera & Phone Problems

    I have a few problems with my 808.
    Id love to hear from people with the same issues so i can confirm if my phone is faulty or if they all do this.
    Camera problem (similar or maybe the same as discussed here - http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/808-Pureview-Bug-High-ISO-purple-tin... ), i get a strange red/purple colour on the right hand side of some of my pictures, low light without flash is very bad.
    And the other day i discovered the same thing when taking pics in the snow using scenes with 'snow' selected, some kind of digital noise on the right side of the picture which makes the snow darker.
    And more recently and far more worrying is the problem i suffer EVERY time im on the phone for over 2 hours, maybe heat related but im not sure. I play ps3 online a lot with my mates but i dont use the ps3 headset as it makes the games lag more, so i phone my mate and switch loud speaker on so we can talk about what we are doing in the game. Somewhere between 2 and 2 1/2 hours the phone will freeze completely and i have to take the battery out to fix it. Its strange because although the phone freezes im still able to speak and hear my mate, i just cant hang up or do anything else, and the phone gets pretty hot as well.
    So are all 808 as bad as mine or should i take it back and try a replcement?

    hi mate,
    have you checked via Nokia Suite if there are any firmware updates available for your device? if there are any, please update to the latest version offered. Failing that, you can try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
    As for the phone over-heating, this may be an issue with the phone and its software. I cant remember the last time I was on the phone for over two hours, but in some cases my phone has turned off, but in some cases it has also stayed on. it is normal for the phone to generate that amount of heat after being used for a prolonged period of time. that isn't an issue in itself

  • How do i stop my Yahoo email from auto signing me into it when i sign into firefox

    when i sign into firefox, and if i have new email, my email auto opens when i sign into firefox. i don't have to give my password. in the bottom right part of the page, a box pops up and says i have (so many) new emails, there is a box to click on and my email opens with no call for my password. this way anyone who opens my firefox can read my email. how do i stop my email from auto opening?

    Agreed, malware isn't the issue. It seems to be a JavaScript call that sets the focus to the search field once the page finishes loading. If I were using Firefox, I could use a plug-in to stop the call, but I don't know of a plug-in for Safari that would let me do that.
    You're right, I just started noticing that a couple weeks ago. It drives me crazy! Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • "Squelchy" noise from external speakers plugged into headphone jack

    I get a strange, warmly, high pitched static continuous "squelchy" noise from my external powered speakers when I have them plugged in via cable to the headphone jack of my iPad (3rd gen). The noise occurs only with the iPad - the noise is not present with other devices, such as my iPhone 4S, older iPhone 3G, or my Samsung Galaxy or Toshiba Thriven (both Android devices). Also, the noise is present only with external speakers - never with headphones. Doesn't happen with Bluetooth audio.
    The pitch of the squelchy noise seems to be related to how much load the iPad processor is under, though I can't say for sure. I honestly have no idea why it's making this noise. I thought it might be a ground loop issue which occurred only when I had external powered speakers plugged in while the iPad was also plugged in, but the noise happens when the iPad is running on battery, as well.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I might get rid of this noise?

    I don't know if this could be your problem, but...
    On some systems the BIOS will sometimes disable the on-board audio controller at startup if it doesn't detect anything connected to the inputs or outputs (older HP computers did this to me ).  You usually need to enter the BIOS and permanently enable the On-board Audio by changing the setting from 'Auto Detect' to 'Enabled'.
    Hope that helps.

  • [SOLVED:] SLIM not reading slim.conf (no password auto-focus)

    Yesterday I began having issues with SLIM.  I'm not sure if they're related, but  while running Puppy , I inadvertently deleted the desktop icon for my Arch home directory on /dev/sda8.  I rebooted Puppy and it reappeared.  After running Puppy, something went wrong with my clocks (system and hardware) and the times were all wrong.  I fixed that with NTPD.  I currently dual boot Arch and Windows 7 from the hard drive, and occasionally from a USB stick, Puppy Linux.  I'm using an ASUS K50IJ laptop.  I run Xfce4.  I do not have any disk encryption enabled.
    When I boot up, the SLIM login appears as normal, but rather than password auto-focus, I'm prompted for a username.  If I enter the username and hit return, I'm still staring at the username prompt.  After three or four iterations of entering a username + enter, I finally get a password prompt and can log in.
    I have tried:
    1.  Reinstalling archlinux-themes-slim
    2.  Uninstalling archlinux-themes-slim and slim, then reinstalling slim
    3.  Removing old Xfce4 & Xfwm sessions
    4.  Removing slim.conf and entering a pristine version.
    5.  Reviewing /var/log/slim.log files for oddities.  I found one:
    Before the trouble started, I the message in the log was:

    I solved this - slim was not the last daemon I started in rc.conf.  By moving it to the end, I get password auto-focus and everything works.
    Now my rc.conf looks like
    # DAEMONS
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus acpid @network @wicd @openntpd @cupsd @crond slim)
    I found this recommendation in the Display Manager wiki page while researching the problem:
    Ensure you start the display manager last in the DAEMONS array, otherwise X will later allocate a tty device which was previously claimed by Getty (see /etc/inittab). Not placing the display manager at the end can cause X crashes, and is therefore unsupported.
    I'd just been lucky before that there wasn't a conflict.
    There is a "flicker" during login where I'm shown the XFCE splash, then the SLIM splash again, then the XFCE desktop.  Not sure what's going on there, but it's no big deal.
    Cheers,

  • Arabic Language for Nokia 808 PureView US version

    Hi guys,
    I got my new Nokia 808 PureView (US version) from amazon.com. I want to add Arabic language to it. Is there any way to do it?
    Thanks,

     Yes there is. You will need to visit your local Nokia Care point and they will add the Arabic language pack to your phone. Be advised that the language pack will be removed in the event that you update the phone or perform a full factory reset.
     Only Nokia Care can add the language packs because there is special software needed which only they legally possess.
    Ray.
