Nokia N8 : Camera dying?

Dear All, 
I've been using my N8 every time I go out since december and I've taken over a thousand photos with it. It seems to be enough for the typical pub/club evening.  Yesterday the camera on the phone surprised me and not in a good way. I attached a picture to show what happened. 
Any thoughts??
Cheers.

  • Nokia 6280 has died

    Hi.
    My wife's 6280 has died for some reason.
    I have tried to turn it on and get the nokia logo and then it turns off.
    I took out both the memory and sim card and turned it on. The Nokia logo came up and then I had a message saying that I need to insert a sim card. Progress, I though!
    I put in my sim card and left the memory card out (thinking the memory car might be corrupt). I get the nokia logo and the the battery meter (half full) but then it fades to black then back to the battery meter 3 times and eventually turns off.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to charge phone's battery by standard charger device?

  • Nokia Pro Cam photos post-processing makes yellowi...

    Hello there! I'm here to report a common problem which happens while taking pics with Nokia Pro Cam on my lumia 920. When you take a pic it has right colours and is very sharp but after apps' post-processing the pic turns yellowish and a bit softer. It doesn't look too good after that treatment. I'm asking for patch that would prevent this problem. While I was at Windows Phone central-forums I saw that I'm not alone with this issue.
    There is photos when one can see this issue.
    First is just after taking pic and second is after processing it. I guess one can see very clear difference.

    I see the same thing on my 620 (yes, I know Pro Cam is not officially supported by the 620 and would not work as good as on 920 or 1020, but I found a way to get it  the interface is just so much better)
    When I take a picture with manual focus, in the screen the pic looks sharp, but when i open the gallery, it changes (wll, postprocesses) to blurry 
    just a reminder, using unsupported apps may cause serious hardware problems in short/long term. i'm sure u won't be happy when u see melting plastic parts and  some smoke on your device

  • Nokia Pro Cam: Color Temperature / Balance

    As a creative I purchased this phone as to take better photos. As it does that sometimes others the auto color balance doesn't get it correct. Using the limited manual settings isn't very good either as usually they are worse. If anyone at nokia reads this would you please consider adding in 3-4 steps between each color balance setting so if say "sunny" is too warm you can go a step in one direction or the other to fine tune how it looks. Adding this feature would really make it a better application and help get perfect photos everytime. As of now the iphone auto color balance tends to look betteer, eventhough the quality of the Nokia images are better if the color isn't as pleasing then its all for nothing. Please add finer color balance / color temperature controls to the Nokia Pro Cam application!!

    Photoshop CC has made Camera RAW available as a filter. That means it is easy to use it on video.
    Can you do anything in Camera RAW to a video that you can't do the hard way with color correction and levels, etc, in Premiere Pro? No. Is it easier because you are used to the sliders? You bet!
    This first frame is from a video I shot to test the codecs my camera can use. The trees are rather dark, because, well, I didn't care when I shot the video. I was concerned with the movement of the juggling toys.
    But if I take it into Photoshop and use Camera RAW I can do very quickly what would take a lot longer, for me, in Premiere Pro. You will have to take my word for it that the color of the shirt in the corrected frame is more realistic. The Camera RAW settings were pretty much what I do to almost all of my photographs. Very slight adjustment to exposure, a little clarity, bring out the shadows, bring down the highlights that are too white and bring up the contrast.

  • Nokia 6120c camera green lines

    Can u pls help me with my problem of my nokia 6120c camera after taking a picture especially in dark area there was
    a color green lines, my friend nokia mobile same model as mine there was no problem even when u shot on any dark area. i update already my software online now V 05.11 21-04-08 RM 243 Nokia 6120c (B20.01). is there any software to correct this problem?

    taking a photo in dark areas, of course there will be green lines, this is due to the low sensitivity of the 6120's camera to low light areas. this is a normal process, this will occur with any poorer-quality camera, whether it be a standalone digital or mobile phone camera. other phones may not have this effect as their camera sensors are better at coping with low light situations, have higher megapixel count etc.
    so to answer your question, i doubt that any software update would resolve this issue, as this is completely normal to occur

  • Nokia Observation Camera not able to remember GPRS...

    Hello!
    I have an old nokia observation camera (Type: PT-2, model: Nokia Observation Camera) that works fine except it cannot remember changes made to one setting, namely the GPRS contact name. I am guessing that the flash memory of the device has gone bad but have no way of verifying this.
    Is there anything I can do about this? Can I change the 8MB flash and then reinstall or won't I be able to use the device with a empty memory?
    Is it possible to change the default setting in the firmware?
    This product has been out of production for at least 10 years, would it be possible to get sources and other resources for this device?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately all support material appertaining to PT-2 has long since been archived with loss of software updater and such like.

  • The new Nokia Pro Cam is not user friendly AT ALL ...

    After the Amber update on my Lumia 920, I downloaded the new Nokia Pro Cam app, due to most people claiming that it produces very good quality photos. I agree that the photos clicked using Pro Cam are of better quality than those clicked with  the built in camera app. But this Pro CAM is not at all user friendly.
    First thing is the most frustrating. The built in camera app allows taking photos by just touching anywhere on the screen, but the Pro Cam required you to touch one specific spot on the screen for this purpose. This is highly inconvenient, especially when taking self photos using the main camera. I know that the photo can be clicked even using the camera launch button, but this serves no purpose because pressing that button actually shakes the phone a bit and makes the photo blurry.
    The next thing is, the settings of Pro Cam are denoted by symbols and not text. Camera professionals may feel comfortable with these images, but for the common man, its really difficult to understand what these symbols actually mean. I don't understand how Nokia came up with the idea of complicating matters by replacing the text with symbols for settings.
    Finally, there are no settings at all for the front camera, which is also a disappointment becasue we're forced to use the deafult settings.
    Hence, in spite of better image quality with this Pro Cam, I'd rather stick with the built-in camera app because the Pro Cam is too cumbersome and tedious to use. So what do you people feel about this Nokia Pro Cam?

    Hi, 
    Maybe the following explanations can help.
    1. There is a plus point to this also. Suppose you need to only focus on a subject and not shoot straight away. You can do that by touch the screen where you want to focus, without actually taking the shot. Shot can then be taken by pressing the dedicated on-screen shutter button. 
    I actually prefer it this way. You just can do that in the WP8 camera app.
    2. Here again, all the symbols used are standard photography symbols you will find on any dedicated camera. Even they don't have full names, only symbols. This should not be a major problem, you will learn very quickly what all these symbols mean.
    3. People usually use front camera for video chat (or to check if your hair is ok or not!). The requirement for video chat is that you don't need a very high end image/video quality. Moreover, the front facing camera quality is not that good too, so there is no point is providing all that functionality used for rear camera.
    You can try using Nokia Glam Me lens, to add some post processing to selfies.
