N8 camera exposure compensation

N8 exposure compensation is not working.
setting exposure to +2 and after taking the photo there is no difference...
anyone has the same issue?

No, mine's working fine so there's something wrong with yours, have you installed the Anna Camera Update from Beta Labs?
If so try Restore Camera Settings option in Settings.
Next option, Battery Out reset (switch off then hold power button down for about 8 seconds until out vibrates).
Next option, try the Restore Factory Settings for the whole phone under phone management in Settings.
Last option, reinstall the Firmware using Nokia Suite or NSU then reinstall the Anna Camera Update.
If ail above fails take it to Nokia Care as if that's not working who knows what else is wrong.
Good luck because it really is a great Camera.

  • How do I create an ACR custom lens profile if camera exposure can't be set to manual?

    How do I create an ACR custom lens profile if camera exposure can't be set to manual?
    I ask this question for the Nokia 808 PureView 41MP camera. It produces stunning image quality but exposure can only be controlled via EV +/- compensation. I need a lens profile to correct for vignetting to get even skies in panorama (which turn out stunningly otherwise). There is no profile for the Nokia 808 PureView I am aware of and I'd like to produce one.
    Is the Adobe profile creator able to correct for varying exposure using EXIF or overlapping parts of the chart or background?
    Or would the Adobe profile creator ignore EXIF if I use studio flash to enforce a constant lightning situation, even if shutter speed would vary (aperture is constant and ISO can be set constant, just not the shutter speed)?
    Or did Adobe produce a profile internally they can share?
    Thanks.

    If you read the first post, this is the camera-app of a 41MP Nokia Pureview 808 camera-phone, so maybe someone could write a new camera app but the phone is Symbian OS which is dead, making that unlikely.

    http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/the-nokia-lumia-820-and-lumia-920-too-little-too-late/
    It would probably be easier for Adobe to rewrite the LPC to allow vignetting to be computed from a single shot of a blank wall without a target in the shot, than to have someone rewrite a camera app that allows manual exposure.
    Another idea about how to get the phone to keep a constant exposure would be to experiment with putting darker and lighter objects in the field-of-view away from the target area to make the camera metering adjust things so it’s exposure is the same from one shot to the next.  This would take some doing but should work, unless the LPC uses the part of the frame that doesn’t contain the checkboard target in its computations.
    You’re basically varying the scene around the target so the camera takes the same exposure of the target each time.

  • Viewing Metering Mode, Flash data, Exposure Compensation Values in Lightroom

    Anyone know if it's possible to see the following data in Lightroom 2?  I can view this data in the 3rd party tool Exifer (if I convert a pic to JPEG) but I think it would be very handy to see this in LR2.  Anyone know how or if it's possible?
    Focal point chosen
    Metering Mode
    Exposure Compensation Values
    Flash data (Did or didn't the flash fire)
    Shooting Mode (i.e. Manual, Av, Tv, P, etc)

    Focal point is not possible. However, depending upon the camera model you should be able to see the others when the Exif metadata field preset is selected (see screnn shot below), and you should not have to convert to JPEG to do see Exif.

  • Flash Exposure Compensation Value Not Displaying in EXIF Info

    When adjusting Flash Exposure Compensation on Nikon D4 camera (not on the Speedlight) the set value is not showing in EXIF Field in Aperture 3.4.1.  It always shows as a 0 value regardless of camera setting.  When I open the .nef  in Nikon View NX (v2.2.4) the set value for Flash Exposure Compensation is accurately shown in the EXIF info.  Have tried editing the Aperture EXIF fields (removing Flash Exp Comp and re-entering it) but, to no avail. Has anyone seen this, or  know of a solution?  Are any D800 users seeing the same thing?
    Thanks!

    Greg,
    All the references to the element "rdf:value" in the XMP Specification 
    Part 1 appear in discussions about the implementation of XMP Qualifiers.
    Page 21,
    The presence of property qualifiers is indicated by a special use of 
    the rdf:Description element. Each rdf:li array item in the example 
    contains an rdf:Description element, which itself contains the 
    following:
    --  a special element called rdf:value that represents the value of 
    the property
    -- zero or more other elements that represent qualifiers of the value. 
    In this case, there is one property qualifier called ns:role.
    Page 26
    Other qualifiers cause the RDF for the qualified property to look like 
    a struct with a special rdf:value field. The presence of rdf:value is 
    what denotes this as a qualified property.
    Page 28
    For qualifiers other than xml:lang, RDF forces the qualified property 
    to look like a struct with a special rdf:value field that contains the 
    actual value from the XMP Data Model. The other fields of the fake 
    struct are the qualifiers. The presence of rdf:value is what 
    distinguishes a real struct from a qualified property.
    I assume that you are not trying to implement XMP qualifiers. Perhaps 
    you should use vra:value instead?

  • 600EX Flash - 5D III. Flash exposure compensation.

    How can I set the FLASH exposure compensation from the CAMERA. It appears that I have to set the exposure compensation on the back of the flash unit. I would like be able to change the FLASH EC settings from the camera, not the flash unit.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok, I have my 5D III out with my 600EX-RT mounted.
    Let's make sure you don't have terminology confused.
    There are two different compensations... there's "explosure compensation" and "flash exposure compensation".
    If you meter exposure with the camera and then use the rear dial (assuming you did not disable it) after waking up the metering system then the rear dial will change the "exposure" compensation (this changes the metering for the AMBIENT light reading that the camera reads -- ignoring the flash).  So changing "exposure compensation" will not change the flash even if the flash is powered on and connected.  It would only change the camera.
    On the top of the camera, just in front of the top LCD screen, there are four buttons.  One has a dimple on it.  That button is the ISO & "flash exposure compensation" button.  If you press that button, then the rear LCD screen should show you that the rear dial will control "Flash exposure comp."    Turning the rear dial at that point will make the adjustment show initially ONLY on the camera LCD screen... UNTIL you press the 'Set' button in the middle of the dial.   Once you do that, the rear LCD screen on the flash will show that you have the flash exposure compensation enabled (it will ONLY show this when you wake up the metering system... if the metering system is allowed to go inactive the flash will only display the netural compensation... but as soon as you re-activate metering it will display your exposure compenation as set on the camera.
    Also... on the rear LCD screen there's a box just below the ISO setting that shows if you have flash exposure compensation set and the amount.
    This is all being controlled only by the camera -- I'm not using the menu buttons on the flash itself.  
    IF I DO use the buttons on the flash to set flash exposure compensation then the camera is locked out.  It will report what compensation has been set on the flash, but will not let me change it until I use the buttons on the flash to return it to 0.
    Does that help and are you able to do this with your flash?

  • Why is exposure compensation limited to +-4EV

    I ran a quick test to determine whether exposure compensation worked better in the D7000 or in Lightroom. I started by taking one picture at ISO 1600 correctly exposed. I then reduced the ISO by half for the next 4 pictures ending with 100. I then loaded the pictures into LR 3.3 and adjusted the exposures of the pictures by 1, 2, 3 and 4 EV so they all ended up the same. If Lightroom was more efficient at exposure compensation the ISO 100 picture should be best. If the in-camera compensation is best the ISO 1600 should be best.
    The first surprise was that the LR exposure compensation is limited to +-4EV.
    The other surprise was that the ISO 100, 200, 400 and 800 pictures were indistiguishable. The ISO 1600 picture was the only one that looked different with both exposure and color being slightly off.
    My tentative conclusion is that between ISO 100 and 800 LR and the in-camera are pretty much identical. At ISO 1600 (+4EV) LR is better, but that's a terribly narrow margin. You need 1-2 EV headroom to make adjustments.
    I had hoped LR would have given mt a wider margin and, as it appears it would, superior compensation to the one implemented in the camera.
    Yes, Yes, Yes, I know that it's probaably ACR doing it, but still!

    When shooting in Camera RAW format you are retaining the full Analog to Digital (A/D) resolution, which today is 14 bits, or even 16 bits color depth (48 bits). When shooting JPEG the camera file output is limited to 8 bit color depth (24 bits). So even for 14 bit camera A/D converters we have:
    This is not correct. jpeg files are gamma corrected while raw is a linear capture. Theoretically, a 8-bit jpeg in sRGB space can contain as much dynamic range as a raw file of any bit depth because of the tone curve. It breaks up quicker when you edit jpegs because you will start seeing posterization earlier because of the lower bit precision but the dynamic range is there to start with.
    Jao xDL I appreciate the additional information and links you have provided, but it is probably more information (and some misinformation) than most of us can digest in one reading. Yes sRGB tone curve helps to "compress" a wider dynamic range" signal into the 24 bit JPEG space, but it still only contains 24 bits of information! My point is that when opening a Camera RAW file in LR we can use the camera's full A/D dynamic range for recovery of signal "beyond 24 bit JPEG." Today that is typically 14 bits or even 16 bits per color (42-48 bits), with even the cheapest cameras using 12 bit A/D. If JPEG has the same ability, then why are we capturing and using "larger" RAW files?
    You also say:
    At a fixed exposure, you actually will want to raise the ISO as far as you can to make sure you don't posterize shadow detail in the very deep shadows because of limited bit precision left over and to minimize the read noise contribution.
    People use their expensive (and inexpensive) camera gear to shoot pictures, NOT run laboratory experiments! I don't want to change my ISO setting to get the best shadow details or use Auto ISO, except for very specific shooting situations. You are parsing technical semantics, gone way beyond the original question, and are now incorrectly restating what I already said:
    The bottom line is that “best practice” is to expose for the maximum highlight value, even clipping highlights when you want to retain maximum noise-free shadow detail.
    This is best left to use of 'Exposure Compensation' or 'Manual Exposure' settings, and review of image histogram on your camera. Just be aware that most camera histograms are a processed 24-bit sRGB JPEG representation. Your RAW file output will actually have significantly more "highlight" range than indicated! Do a Google search on ‘Rawnalyze.’ The author has sadly passed on, but you may be able to find a posted copy of the program.
    The poster asked, "Why is LR Exposure limited to only ±4 EV." You can use the Tone Curve to increase the range as suggested by Lee Jay, but then you lose the other features it provides. In light of all the technical information everyone has presented, raising the Exposure range would be very useful.

    My Qosmio is an F10-124. It was running a fully updated version of XP MCE and had not been much trouble apart from a completely new motherboard etc under warranty! It also has 2gig memory and a 160gig HDD which for some reason now is only showing 127gig.
    I purchased an upgrade WIN7 package a few weeks ago and installed it, and it runs fine, better I think than XP. Drivers took a while to update but it was plain sailing really.
    However I had a niggling feeling that there might be a better BIOS by now. Toshiba's site told me the latest version for this machine is 1.40 whereas it already has version 2.0. I think the site just has no support for these re-boarded machines which have R at the end of the part number. This trips up Tempro until the R is removed. I have tried the only W7 32 BIOS I can find so far, version 2.20, but installation fails, so maybe it's best left alone for now.
    Don't know if this is any more than academic but at least I have succeeded running W7. Now, Qosmio Player, that's another story.

  • Camera exposure correction defective for manual IS...

    The photo camera exposure correction is defective for manual ISO setting in the N900 after updating the OS to PR1.2.
    Link to the opened Bug (2010-05-28): https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10384
    This feature is one of the main tools to use the excelent camera of the N900 to make good pictures. It is very important that this feature is working correctly again.
    The bug apprears in the following test situation:
    - ISO-setting to ISO 100, 200 or 400 (not AutoISO).
    - Manual exposure correction to +0,5, +1,0, +1,5, +2,0 (overexpose) and -0,5, -1,0, -1,5, -2,0 (underexpose).
    In this cases the picture turns to very dark (almost black) while it should be brighter regaring to the aimed overexposure or only slightly darker regaring to the aimed underexposure.
    The bug is independend from other settings (flash, recording presets (portrait, landscape, night,…) or white balance.
    The bug does not appear in video mode sinde there is no possibility to change the ISO settings to another value.
    There is even a Youtube video showing this bug published by user ahtiven: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da1nd_zgk4U
    The summer is nearly over now and I am quite angry that there is no solution since this bug is now known since at least more than 2 months!
    We all cannot use this good camera in my N900 to shoot good photos!
    Currently automatic exposure is the only way to make photos which is not working well in many exposure cases!
    It seems that nothing is going on in this case - there is no feedback and no workaround!
    Please at least offer a package in the repositories to set the camera back to the last firmware status where this bug didn't appear! And please respond here to tell what is planned to solve the problem!

    Today this bug was closed and marked as "WONTFIX"
    The users originally could buy a device which had certain important capabilities in the camera interface's usability. Then Nokia did a mayor mistake in disabling this capabilities in one of the firmware updates (PR 1.2) since they programmed this severe bug which is causing this error in the functionality available before. They missed to fix this in the firmware upgrade to PR 1.3 and now they are obvoisely trying to sweep it under the carpet!
    It is definately our right as customers to demand that the camera application remains at least in the functionality it had when we bought the device!
    So a bugfix of this bug is mandatory!
    In my opinion someone is in charge of repairing this which he has slipped up in PR 1.2. He didn't had the heart to reply yet (neither in the maemo bug website https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10384 nor in this discussion) and he is not doing his job's duty properly and in an professional way. Instead he is leaving the derangement, isn't it?
    If the N900 would get a MeeGo upgrade from Nokia side it would be acceptable to solve this bug in MeeGo but since the Meamo is the official firmware dead end from Nokia side it is a scandal leave this bug unfixed !!!
    The last thing we can do is to get more
    user's feedback to nokia in this case:
    ==============================================
    Please all readers support this posting with your comments
    so we can get the responsibles to do this little but important
    correction in the N900 camera application!

  • Adjusting Exposure Compensation Settings Of 808 To...

    Apart from the inaccurate white balance of the Pureview 808 in low light which appears to be a permanent feature of the phone(still waiting for confirmation from Nokia whether there will be a software update to correct this), it seems that the exposure of the Pureview 808 can be manipulated or adjusted in Creative mode with the "Exposure Compensation" feature found on the left side of the screen. Since the image of the 808 is always over-exposed in low light, I guess this feature may come in handy. Has anybody used this "Exposure Compensation" feature when taking pictures in low light? Are there any guidelines on the usage of this feature? I have fiddled around with the settlings yesterday and found that in very low light situations where a brightly lit object is in a completely dark background, the Exposure Compensation needs to be at -0.7 or -1.0 for a satisfactory image to appear. At 0 or -0.3, the image will become too bright and blurry. The ISO plays a part as well in these low light conditions as a minimum ISO400 is required for these low light shots.
    I would appreciate some information or guidelines on the usage of the "Exposure Compensation" settings of the Pureview 808 in low light. At least the exposure can still be adjusted manually for a more usable image, unlike the white balance issue which seems to be a fixed or inherent thing in the 808(hopefully not perenially).
    Thanks.

    Try checking this and see if this helps you in any way: Nokia 808 PureView Tips, Tricks and Photography. 
    Another thing, one of our friends here posted a thread that there's a new update available for the said device so you may also want to check if the update is already available for your precious one. See here. Please take note though that update availability depends on the existing firmware version, operator and variant.
    Checking Discussions Guidelines once in a while will not hurt.
    Thanks for the information. Much appreciated. The latest update that I have on my 808 is software version 113.010.1507. The latest update (113.010.1508) is still not available yet at where I live.
    THanks for the link on the Pureview tips and tricks. Will check on it in a while.

  • Smart Album tracking Exposure Compensation?

    In iPhoto '09 it's very easy to make a Smart Album that shows all your photos that have an ISO of 800, or a Smart Album that shows all your photos taken with a flash.
    But is it possible to make a Smart Album that uses the Exposure Compensation (e.g −1 EV) as its criteria? I can't see any way of doing it.

    No there isn’t. You’re limited to the items in the Drop down menus.

    It takes some getting used to, but with practice, it is a very useful plugin indeed.
    Worth noting: the plugin doesn't do anything you couldn't do yourself manually by editing .lrtemplate lua files (stored in 'Metadata Field Lists' folder in with Lightroom Presets) with a text editor - the plugin just makes it accessible to all users who can weild a mouse.
    To be clear: you don't need a custom preset to see exposure bias, for example you can just select the built-in preset "EXIF". (exposure bias was omitted from the default preset for some reason).

  • Suggestion:  Exposure Compensation

    Suggestion for software update: Exposure compensation via the volume up/down button. The pics I take are amazingly good for such small lens and compact device, but the ability to compensate for those backlit situations would be excellent. How hard could it be?

    Probably wouldn't be hard. The chips probably already have the feature. But it would destroy the utter simplicity. When I shoot people, I move or move them so they're not backlit. Backlit subjects tend to look noisy and in unkind light when you increase the exposure.

  • Exposure compensation in Lightroom

    When I set exposure compensation to -2/3 stops in my Canon 5D II and import the files into Lightroom they are automatically corrected to normal after "render preview" is initiated when I look at the file. How do I stop this?
    If I bracket photos in 1 stop increments, they all look the same after "render preview"
    This does not happen when I look at the files in Bridge CS4

    >Which one are you referring to?
    It's in the preferences dialog in the presets panel. The fact that the button is greyed out indeed means it was applied. On the images it already happened to you should hit reset.
