Lumia 920 unsharp photo's

I'm glad with my new phone. And it works quite properly except the camera. Although, i presume that it doesn't wortk properly. Every picture that i take does have unsharp edges. My previous phone, the one-x was way better. Is this just how good the camera is, or is there a way to make the photo's sharper?

Hi Billy_Turf,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the forum.
Glad to hear that you are loving your Nokia Lumia 920.
For better photo quality, we recommed you to play around with the camera settings of the phone until you get your desired quality. The Nokia Lumia 920 captures more light than any other smartphone because of the camera design making it possible to keep the camera shutter open longer. This means lesser light is needed. Try turning off the flash or set it to automatic then compare the results if it improved.
You may also check the camera itself, make sure that nothing is blocking the lens like dust, casing or protective cover. Any obstruction will greatly affect the image quality.
It is also recommended to keep the device sotware up-to-date. You can check the availability of software updates by going to Settings > Phone Update > Check for updates.
Hope it'll help.
Regards,
periwinkle28

You can take pictures by touching the screen only while u're using the built in camera app. Go to Settings->Applications->photos+camera and enable Tap screen to take pictures option.

Recovering deleted photo Lumia 920

So I mistakenly deleted a photo from my Nokia Lumia 920. I didn't have Sky, or anything else that could save the photo, activated. After searching for quite a long time, I've found multiple programs for photo recovering, however, there is one problem comming up every time: I can select the C: driver, but I can't select the memory card of this phone.
Is there a way to remove the memory card from the phone, to connect it to your PC for itself? or is there a way to remove the "Windows Phone"- folder, that is created under Removable devices when connected, to gain acces to the memory card as if it was a partition?
Running windows 7.

Maybe I'm missing something but if you delete an item from any phone if it's not been previously uploaded/ saved to somewhere else why would you expect to be able to retrieve it?
My main phone is not a Windows phone and has internal storage and a removable memory card. There is probably about half a dozen options available to automatically or manually save photos from the phone to external locations. If I don't use any of them and delete a photo it's going to make very little difference whether it was originally stored to the phone or the memory card. I know there are recovery apps but if you save anything else to the phone before running them the deleted data will probably be overwritten.
The facility to upload to SkyDrive is easy to use and works well.

Lumia 920 animated GIF's

When emailing or texting from the Lumia 920, will users outside of Nokia be able to fully view animated GIF's?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Coolatta75,
I think I have found a solution for you. I have just tried this on my Lumia 920 and it works. Goto Photos then Camera Roll then open the Cinemagraph GIF and select ...
then select Save To Skydrive, and it will upload the GIF. If you are using Windows 8 (or if you don't have Windows 8, you can access SkyDrive on the web-based version), and download it and open it in Internet Explorer. It will work and play. Please remember that the recipient will always view it as a static MMS unless they have an app on their phone that can play animated GIF's, same applies to recipients who view it on their computer. I suggest sending it to their email and they can open it on their computer.
Let us know how you get on.

Lumia 920 pre & post processing of pics after Ambe...

Hey folks, im starting this thread in order to grab more attention from Nokia. As they are already aware of the yellowish tint in photos since the amber update, I wanna just add something extra. I have attached 2 sample images of pictures below. Both photos were shot at ISO3200 to really show what this phone is capable of. Each picture will come with a before processing happens and after. Not only can you tell theres a yellowish tint in the post processing pics, but you can also see severe noise reduction. Sure, ISO3200 is a bit on a smartphone, but take a close look at the pics before the processing happens and tell me that isn't a amazing picture at ISO3200. White balance is spot on, and sharpness is excellent. Im sorry, but the aggressive noise reduction Nokia applies is not needed on this phone. Nokia I think most people buy these lumia 920 and 1020 phones based on cameras. I think most people can agree that while we may not ask you to remove your noise reduction settings, but rather add an option for us users who would like to skip out on the post processing that happens. You can clearly see in the before and after pics below how amazing an ISO3200 shot from this phone is.....let us have it please!!!

Why my Lumia 920 takes shots in res. 720x1278 in...

why my Lumia 920 takes shots in resolution 720x1278 instead of 3553 x 2448 and I cannot find the way to change in the settings. Is it a bug?

Has nothing to do with Corporal_Hicks said, that is for auto-uploading and backup of photos that you have taken.
Are you sure you are not using the front facing camera but the back one? Try Resetting the Camera in the Settings under: Settings > Applications > Photos + Camera, and if that doesn't work, a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together at the same time until the phone vibrates).

All music + pictures disappeared - HELP Lumia 920

All my music and pictures from my Nokia Lumia 920 have disappeared.
However, there are stubs as in cover photo's of albums when I go into the music app, some artist names but no music. And photo's almost as if someone's wiped them clean. The photos however are safe as they are on my skydrive.
Plus when I try and add some music, it doesn't allow me to...
So multiple questions...
Is there a way to uninstall and re-install just the music app?
Also I'm unable to take screenshots on the phone anymore :-( arggh

We need to know more to be able to help, Lindsay.
Did you update to iPhoto 9.6?
And the photos vanished after you upgraded the iPhoto Library?
Did iPhoto crash during the upgrade?
Where is your iPhoto Library stored? Is it on your system drive in your Pictures folder or do you keep the iPhoto library on an external disk?
If the iPhoto Library is on your system drive in your Pictures folder, select the iPhoto Library in the Finder, ctrl-click or right-click it and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu. A Finder window will open, showing you, what is there inside your iPhoto Library.
Do you see folders "Masters" and "Old Masters"? If there is a folder "Old Masters", look inside. Are there any photos inside?

Lumia 920, no flash after updating to Black:-(

Hi there, Arbaerinn.
Did something happen to your phone prior to doing an update? What fixes have you tried so far? Try to restart your phone by pressing and holding the Power and Volume down keys simultaneously for 10-15 seconds. Release the keys and then the phone will restart.
You can also try resetting your camera. To do that, go to Settings > swipe to left to see application > phone+camera > reset camera. No photo or personal data will be deleted in doing this.
If the said fixes didn't make any difference, we suggest you take the phone to the Nokia Care Point for evaluation. Check for Nokia Care Points in your location by visiting your Local Support page: http://www.nokia.com/global/wayfinder/ .
We wish you the best in resolving this matter.

Nokia Lumia 920

Hello. why can't I move photos from nokia lumia 920 to iphoto? It's possible?

If it does not work like an iPhone then you need to contact Nokia support - it is not an iPhtoo for Mac issue - iPhoto reacts to cameras and phones that look liek cameras - if your does not then you need help from the phone people

Lumia 920 India .. missing features and some sugge...

Alrito ppl..i have migrated from nokia 701 (Symbian) to Nokia lumia 920 (Windows 8)
Country : India
FW : 1232.5951.1249.1001
OS Version : 8.0.10211.204
No sim inserted as yet and right now using it in wifi mode only
Since i was a symbian user..some features are very very essential in my daily phone usage (though some are rare)
So the required features/suggested
Camera/Photos :
1.Red eye reduction
2.Self-Timer
3.Details of photos like size,location,resolution, etc etc
4.Number of photos like how many photos are there in an album or phone..
5.wat is the use of having albums tab when u cant create one??!!
Media:
1.Heard that Stereo FM is gonna come soon with the next update of accessing fm radio and can also radio transmittor ?
Hope its coming soon...
2.Cant the equaliser me edited? and also be accessed from the music player ??
3.MKV Format files doesnt play !! (Yes, i have tried it)
Others :
1.Internet explorer has a problem.. i use my ie whn wifi is on and later after swtiching off wifi
if i wanna close down ie..i cant because it jst keeps going back to the previous webpage which cannot load due to no access to net !!! plspls fix this .!!
2.Nokia MAPS as compared to my symbian nokia 701 ... the gps access is really really bad.. i had to use my old mobile for using the nokia drive option..
3.I know windows 8 doesnt have ny "file system" but i do hope they bring something like file manager for better access to many other things...
4.many other extentions like .zip, .rar dont work because of lack of apps and no basic functionality to access them..pretty bad for a person using the phone for office purpose..
5.Profiles should be evidently visible and i should be able to create seperate profile because just ring+viobrate, vibrate and flight mode is not enough..
6.In the groups under contacts...i really want to add people by selecting them and not individually...i know a very small request but it really helps...
7.In the groups under contacts...i want to see the number of people in the group..i dont want to count them manually.. a small feature again but i request u to add it too..helps a lot..
8.The counter for message,calls, etc and call logs for more than 30 days will be appreciated if it comes with the update because thn installing app for it is something i wudnt like..but this is a suggestions which i hope is implemented for better user experience...
will add some other requirements and suggestions as soon as i get better experience of my new phone

Camera/Photos:
1. You can use Nokia Creative Studio on the phone to fix red eye.
3. Install "Picture Info" from the store, it's free.
5. You need to ask Microsoft that question but it does show albums you've created in skydrive or facebook
Media:
1. Only a rumour, Microsoft at this moment does not support FM and the next update does not enable it. Even if the L920 did have the required hardware it would only work as a receiver, not a transmitter.
3. I don't believe Microsoft has added support for that.
Others:
1. Microsoft control IE featurs, if you press the menu dots then close all tabs you can easily exit.
2. Weird, GPS works well where I am, make sure you use it with a data connection.
3,4,5,6,7 & 8. You need to suggest that to Microsoft as it is their operating system, not Nokia's.
You can submit suggestions to Microsoft on the link below:

You can discuss things about the OS on Microsoft's forum:

My windows phone 8 nokia lumia 920 doesn't show up in finder

I have a macbook pro laptop and want to download some music files to my windows phone from finder. I don't want to use the official windows phone app, where it shows up, but I do not prefer this app because it allows me only to upload full albums to my phone instead of single songs. By the way, it also shows up in iphoto, but not in finder. How can I solve this?

You should use windows phone app. only this way. as for me, i cant move photos from lumia 920 to iphoto. i think, promblem in USB3.0. but i dont want belive in it

Lumia 920 does not recognize transferred media fil...

I am able to transfer media files (mp3) to the phone with my Ubuntu 12.04 with no problem at all. However, the phone does not recognize files when I go to Nokia Music application. Software says that all the Music "folders" (Albums, Genres etc.) are empty. Am I missing something here? Seems like no one else has this problem.
I have tried putting the mp3 files in all possible folders ( music, documents etc) on phone, but no luck. I have also tried several different mp3 files. Can anyone help me with this?

This was never a problem for me with my fisrt 920. I have just taken delivery of a replacement phone after I managed to smash the glass on thge first one last week. I have tried transferring albums and songs (in mpeg-4 format from my pc's file explorer, using the USB connector. File Explorer indicates that the files have copied correctly into the Lumia's Music folder but when I try to run Nokia Music it tells me that nothing has been transferred. So I check back on the pc with USB connector and, sure enough, File Explorer tells me that the folders and files ARE there.
What's happening on the Lumia 920? (By the way the X-Box Music App also tells me that nothing exists on my Lumia music folder).
Absolutely no problem transferring photos by this route.

Will there be a firmware update for the lumia 920'...

Early reviews of the lumia 920 are all saying that the camera is not as Nokia said (the best camera on a smartphone at the moment). Photos taken in daylight are not that sharp compare to other devices. One of them even said that prototype tested a month before did not have such issue. Is that only a software problem? If yes, will there be an update? Thanks for the reply.

Some reviwers have rated the camera quite highly so it might be a case of user error on the reviewers part for marking it down.
