C6-01 main camera sensor size?

Hi all,
Don't know if this is on the right place, but here we go...
I've been googling for the C6-01 main camera sensor size and I didn't found the answser anywhere. That spec is not published on Nokia site, where one can only know that the sensor resolution is 2448 x 3264 pixels (8 Mpixels) and that the lenses are F2.8. But in terms of photography, it's useless to know that without knowing the size of the camera sensor.
I've found somewhere that the N8 main camera sensor is 1/1.83", which makes it a better sensor then the sensor of most average compact digital cameras, which have a 1/2.3" sensor. But that's the N8...
Cheers.

Thanks Puigchild, but I already knew that.
What is missing is the information of the size of the camera CCD sensor. When it comes to digital cameras, that's a very important info, since the bigger the sensor, the better is the camera. Bigger sensors allow more light to hit the sensor, which is obviously a good thing.
Most compact digital cameras (the so called 'point-and-shoot') have 1/2.3" sensors. Some new advanced compact cameras have 1/1.7", 1/1.8" sensors.
What I'm trying to figure out is why Nokia has never revealed the size of its smarphone's camera sensors. Nokia phones are known for their good camera phones. Revealing the sensor size would therefore be a good marketing strategy. For instance, as I said before, I read somewhere that N8 has a 1/1.83" sensor, and that's why its camera is better than most poin-and-shoot.

Increase sensor size

Hi Team,
Please increase Camera sensor size to 1 or 1.1. So that we can beat NOKIA 1020 or future mobiles.

Perhaps with future Xperias, just keep in mind that bigger size sensor will increase the thickness of the phone and/or around the camera module

Macro ability/sensor size?

Since the macro capability is so terrible on my G1X, and the IQ is quite good, it must be that sensor size affects a camera's macro mode. It was better on the G10. If the better compact cameras are going with larger sensors now, are we going to lose good macro mode on these (better) cameras?

I think macro ability has to do with the lenses. With a built-in lens on a non-dslr, good macro ability means trading off on image quality at other focal lengths, especially for a zoom lens.

T3i sensor size vs. full frame and how does that effect lens measurements?

I am new to both photography and the T3i camera. I have been reading Jeff Revell's book "Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D: From Snapshots to Great Shots". In chapter two he talks about "Lenses and Focal Lengths". In discussing wide-angle lenses he says
"As for which lenses would be considered wide angle, anything 35mm or smaller could be considered as wide."
Latter he discusses normal lenses and says
"The normal lens for full-frame and 35mm cameras is the 50mm lens, but for the T3i it is more in the neighborhood of a 35mm lens."
I understand that there is a 1 / 1.6 ratio between the T3i and a Full Frame camera. In the first quote does the 35mm refer to the T3i measurement or a full frame measurement?
Is there a standard nomenclature to indicate if you are specifying a "full frame" value verses the T3i value? If so, what is it?
When I look at one of my lenses, say the 18-55mm lens, is this the T3i measurement or the standard full frame?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

P.S. I could not find a publisher’s forum for this book or I would have asked the question there.

The fast answers are:
When he mentions the 35mm as the basis for determining what's "wide" he is referring to the APS-C crop-frame size sensor.
There is no nomenclature to indicate if you are "full frame" vs. "crop frame" on a lens because all lenses are reported in true focal lengths. There is a nomenclature to indicate if the lens was designed to only project an image circle onto the sensor which is large enough for "crop frame" ... which is what the "EF-S" lens is. If the lens is for "full frame" (which also works on all crop-frame) then it will have the designation "EF" for most lenses, but Canon also has a few specialty lenses such as the "TS-E" (tilt shift) and "MP-E" (macro photo) lenses which also provide full-frame sensor coverage. Incidentally... this is just Canon's way of tagging a lens... Nikon uses the terms "FX" and "DX" (for full frame and crop frame respectively). Everyone has their own tag. Just remember that focal lengths reported are true (well... there's a TINY bit of round-off allowed) and ignore the sensor size.
Here's the background which may help you understand why this is.
The "normal" focal length is based on the human eye, and to understand it, it's easier to think in terms of "angle of view" rather than "focal length."
If you sit and stare straight ahead without moving your eyes or head to "look around", there is an area of vision that the average person can see (and it does vary), but the "angle of view" for that area is about 40 degrees (horizontally). Of course our vision doesn't present our brain with a nice little rectangular image... it fades and is irregular, but it's generally accepted that the angle of view covers about 40 degrees.
The LENS that provides 40 degree angle of view coverage on a "full frame" camera turns out to be a 50mm lens. Images taken with such a lens will seem neither stretched out nor compressed... they'll seem "normal" to your brain. Also, if you can see an object without having to look around to take in the view, then your camera can "see" it with that lens.
A "full frame" camera is one which has a sensor size which is approximately the same as a single frame of 35mm film. The dimensions are roughly 36mm x 24mm.
There are many different crop frame sizes, but for DSLR cameras, the most popular (by far) is the APS-C size. This means the sensor is roughly the same size as a single frame for the "Advanced Photo System - Classic" film. You can think of this as being roughly 21mm x 14mm (although it varies by a just a few millimeters -- on your camera it's really 22.3 x 14.9mm).
If you were to use a movie projector and movie screen and you projected an image so that it fit perfectly on a 12' x 8' screen and called that "full frame", then a "crop frame" would be derived by shriking the movie screen down to about 8' wide by about 5-1/3' tall but (and here's the key) without doing ANYTHING to the movie projector. Essentially that means you're projecting an image intended to fit ona 12x8' screen... but the real screen is smaller. What happens to the part of the image that doesn't fit on the screen? It just spills off the sides and is lost. That is EXACTLY what happens inside a crop-frame camera.
Canon EOS "EF" lenses are designed to project an image large enough to fill a full-frame sensor ... so when used on a crop-frame camera some of that image just spills off the sides. This means that if your lens was providing a 40 degree angle of view (measured horizontally) then the crop-frame is only capturing the 26 degrees in the middle of it. If you want a 40 degree angle of view again... you'll need to change lenses.
And this is where your author suggests a 35mm lens is "normal" for a camera with an APS-C body. The math actually works out in the neighborhood of a 31mm lens, but nobody actually makes a 31mm lens... and a 35mm focal length (commonly available) is pretty close. Also 28mm lenses are commonly available and are ALSO pretty close. It's my personal opinion that 28mm is probably a bit more normal than 35mm, but that's because as an avid amateur astronomer, I am fairly used to looking through Plossl design eyepieces which provide a 50 degree apparent angle of view and my eye actually can see the edges of the frame, but if I go a bit wider... I can no longer see the edges of the field without "looking around" (regardless... 40 degrees seems to be the established norm and THAT is the value that everything is based on.)
For purposes of buying lenses, the focal lengths are NOT converted or adjusted in any way. For example, Canon makes "EF-S" lenses designed specifically to work with their crop-frame bodies. So when the kit lens that comes with the camera says it is a zoom with an 18-55mm focal length range... it really is 18-55mm regardless of sensor size. (Canon isn't multiplying or dividing focal lengths and putting a different value on the box just because it's intended for a crop-sensor camera.)
Hope this helps.

Lens profiles for different bodies, but same sensor size?

I downloaded LR 4.1 RC today. Some of my lenses are not profiled in LR so I then downloaded Lens Profile Downloader Preview 3 to see if there are any profiles available for download. For some lenses I found profiles, but they were not done on the same body that I have (same sensor size though). Can I use profiles for lenses if they are for a camera body that is different than mine, but still the same sensor size? My understanding is that wiht a lens profile LR will automatically correct distortion, vignetting, and CA. Will that work if my body is different than the body used to profile the lens? Thank you.

You can find this statement:
Regarding lens vs camera+lens combinations. Generally, Adobe only supplies 1 profile per lens. Differences between cameras (e.g., crop factors) are automatically taken into account when applying the profile

Nokia N95-1 - Main Camera & Accelerometer Problems...

Over on our forums, N95users.com/forum, there is a steady increase in members experiencing these problems where their main camera, and accelerometer do not work as they should.
This is with the N95-1 model.
Several members have reported that since upgrading their handsets firmware to V30, they lost the use of their main camera, and when enabling ASR, (Auto Screen Rotation) the phone either freezes, or crashes, and ends up going round in a continuous loop, with the only way to resolve the issue is to remove the battery, as trying to switch off the device does not work.
At first, when I first started reading about members experiencing this issue, I assumed, that these members may of dropped their N95 at some point, causing hardware damage to the Accelerometer, which we know the main camera uses also, thus resulting in the combination of the two issues.
Now that there are more several registered members experiencing these problems after upgrading their firmware to either V30, or V31, not to mention many other owners no doubt who are not registered, I can only post here in the hope that someone in the know at Nokia may read this, and investigate the issue further, and try and resolve it in a future firmware release.
Its clearly a firmware related problem, hence my posting here on behalf of all the members of our forums who have posted for help, and advice with these issues.
I will link this thread within N95users.com and try, and get as many members to post up in here too, in the hope they will be heard.
If you own an N95-1, and also have experienced these problems as detailed above, please reply in this thread please.
Thanks

Hi there! I've manage to solve my problem! I've bought the back camera (of a N95-2) and the front camera and installed them on my N95-1. And now works fine.
I've noticed that I couldn't hear the click associated with the opening of the shutter. So I knew there was something wrong with the back camera. I saw the opportunity of nice deal on E-Bay, of N95-2 5Mpx camera, and it’s the same for the N95-1. I’ve got it on the phone and the accelerometer and the back camera worked perfectly. But the front camera continued not to work, it appeared 9999 photos left (or something like that) and I couldn’t see an image. I’ve bought a new one, from E-bay, also, and now everything in the phone works perfectly for the past few weeks.
Note that I’m using the 31.0.17 firmware. But this is kind of strange, because both cameras stopped working after firmware update. I don’t know if they were damaged during the update process. For now I’ll stick to this firmware leaving updates alone.
Best Regards, and hope this info can help anyone!
PS: I’m Portuguese so, sorry for my bad English.

Set main camera as default on 6220

when i hit the camera icon on the main screen of my 6220, it turns on the little camera on the front, then i have to change to main camera in the settings. is there a way i can get the main camera to become the default camera for that icon on the main screen?
also, is it normal to have a small purpleish haze in the lower part of photos taken at night with the flash? has anyone seen that with their 6220??

It's activating the front camera because your lens cover is closed. The rear camera will not work with the cover closed.
Instead of clicking the camera icon just open your lens cover and it should automatically start the camera application.
Not sure about the purplish haze, have you checked to see if you have the latest firmware?

Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection. Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

Hi .after up dating my iphon5 to ios 8.1 and 8.1.1 my main cam dot wrong.dosnt work correctly.the cam frizing at the start for 10 sec.but second cam working normaly.

I hate being the bearer of bad news, but from what I have read on the Forum and FAQ, you will need to un-install Network Magic from all of your computers making sure that no NM settings folders are left behind under users. Then unplug all wired computers and rebuild your network by re-installing NM in each computer before connecting it to your router. After you have added all of your wired computers, set up your wireless network and install NM and add each wireless computer.
That is a lot of work. I hope this helps.

Lenovo VIbe X2 main camera cannot connect

Hi, I am using Lenovo Vibe X2 for the past 6 months. Suddenly my main camera is not connecting and throw up a message "Camera error - Cannot connect to Camera".
I tired various options like restart the phone, clear the cache in the app and factory reset. Nothing Works. Can any one help me to fix this problem. The front camera connects and main camera is showing error.

Me too whocan help ?

Iphone 4s main camera rarely works, help?

sometimes my main camera will work, but then it will go black and not work for weeks. but when it does work, it will for a month or so, then just stop suddenly, very annoying. its happened since i got it, i just got over it. is there anything i can do to help it? sometimes it will help restarting it, but most of the time it wont. when the camera is about to crash, the screen will turn half black and purple. i just want my camera to work all the time.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

IPhone 5 dust on camera sensor

Hey, there are dust particles on the camera sensor on my iPhone 5. This is very noticable on any photos and videos i take. Is there an easy fix to this or will i have to take it to the apple store? I would prefer to avoid the apple store this time of the year.

I do not believe you can clean the sensor. If there is dust on it and the Phone was not opened or damaged Apple will replace it if the damage is relevant, if not you will need to reach an Agreement with Apple people.
iPhone 5 should be in warranty also after Xmas... wait.

Dust on camera sensor, internally.

So I recenlty got my Z10 it[s been working fine. I've took it apart(back casing only) a few times to insert the abttery, SIMs A Battery removal and reinsert ,and in the process some how within the last few days a tiny speck of dirt/dust has gotten into the camera sensor. The black speck isn't on the screen and appears if you take a photo of something/using the camera app. It's not big just a tiny speck of dust/dirt. I've tried cleaning the outer casing and removig the back case and giving the camera section a light clean with a microfibre cloth but it still appears. If i take a phto of a white/light setting the spec is there, and stays in the same photo location when moving the photo around the screen or editing it.
How can i remedy this, should I take the z10 apart to be able to access the sensor and remove the particle with a microfibre cloth?

Does anyone know the viewing angle of iPad mini's camera sensor?

I've read the iPad mini's spec and still can't find the width/height of the camera sensor.
I only know its focal length(3.3 mm).
If anyone can tell me about the camera sensor's width/height, I can figure out the viewing angle.
I would be grateful for any help you can provide.

I believe that is the information you was looking for: http://www.boinx.com/chronicles/2013/3/22/field-of-view-fov-of-cameras-in-ios-de vices/
Remember: they measured the horizontal angle in degree in landscape mode, and the FOV on very compact camera should be affected ( a little bit ) by the autofocus.

Sun light affects the camera sensor?

Hi
I have a lumia 1520 and once driving, my phone's camera was exposed to sun light for about 5 hrs as i put it on my car's dashboard.
after then when i take a photo i feel my images got worse in quality and color.
Am i suspicious or sun light really affects the camera sensor?

Hi, AmirTofighi. Any chance you can attach sample photos? The sunlight should not affect the camera sensor AFAIK. However, we like to further check on this since you have laid the scenario.
BTW, if this is using the built-in camera app, try using lens app and compare. Also, if you have a friend who is using the same model of the device, it would not hurt to check and compare the images taken on both devices.
Hope to hear from you soon. :-)
