Nokia Photo Browser Updated
Posted on 15. Jun, 2009 by geek in Applications, Symbian
Nokia Photo Browser is an experimental photo browser that makes your viewing experience quick and fun:
- Pleasing visual effects
- Intuitive touch UI
- Magnifying glass
- Face browsing
New changes in the update are:
- Better zoom image quality — needs a few seconds to load the sharper image
- Menu — long press in the grid view to bring it up
- Folder sorting in the grid view — accessible from the menu
- Send function — accessible from the menu
- Image rotation and deletion — accessible from the menu
- Better rendering and image processing speed in general
Another learning we have made is that the touch UI seems to be offering much better user experience than that of non-touch UI.
Video of Nokia E72 leaks out
Posted on 14. Jun, 2009 by geek in News, Symbian
Looks like the E71 is about to be upstaged as Nokia’s premier business-class smartphone — someone in Espoo’s just hit the corporate YouTube account with this promo video for an E72. Upgrades include a five megapixel camera, a relocated headphone jack, and what looks to be an optical mouse instead of a D-pad — a welcome upgrade for click-happy S60. That’s all we know for now, but we’re digging for more –.
The video from the youtube has been remove but the guy from intomobile has uploaded it into dailymotion, so now you can watch the video as well.
A Simple Tutorial for 5800 Photography
Posted on 22. Feb, 2009 by geek in Tutorials n Tips
Most phones have cheap cameras that use a technique called “fixed focus”, which means the camera lens doesn’t move. This lowers the quality of photos, because the camera cannot adjust its focus to match what you’re taking a picture of.
The Nokia 5800 has a better type of camera called “autofocus”, which allows the lens to move and automatically focus. Photos taken with autofocus cameras are generally much better than those from fixed focus cameras.
Photos on the 5800 are at their best if you use the various camera options to their fullest. Here’s a quick guide to the main icons in the camera application:
The camera button is your friend!
The 5800’s camera can be switched on by pressing the camera button on the right side of the phone. Once the camera application is running, pressing the button again takes the picture.
Mobile Photography Guide: Using the Grid Lines
Posted on 15. Dec, 2008 by geek in Tutorials n Tips
What I have today for you all is a small and simple guide with the help of which you can click better pictures. I have been using Nokia cameraphones to click some pictures worth displaying on my Phontography Blog and thus this month I will be doing a series of posts for the same. These are simple tricks, hacks or guides that will help you click exceptionally amazing pictures.
We all have been using our cell phone cameras and many a times we end up clicking pictures which go blur or which could have been clicked better. With the new wave of Nseries and Eseries devices we have now been provided with a lot of functions which we hardly use. A part of this series is the Black & White pictures on which I did a post over at my blog.
Grid Lines
This post will reintroduce you guys to the use of GRID LINES in your device. While you turn on your camera, enable the grid lines from the right options bar. Now why do we need these lines? Well, let me tell you something first;
Focal points are the areas of interest in a photograph. If you are taking a portrait, the obvious area of interest is the eyes of the person. If you are taking a landscape it could be a house in the foreground.
So don’t put the areas of interest in the middle of the photograph. Most people do. Phontographs work better when the area (or areas) of interest are placed off center. And this is where the Grid Lines come in.
With the above picture in as an example, just use the points of interest to lie on the corners on the center square formed by the crossing lines of the grid. In this case I made the vegetables to lie on the left corner of the center square. Also note that the building on the right is parallel to the right vertical grid line and the tomatoes below are parallel to the horizontal grid line. Finally the cycle at the bottom right. Thus with this in mind you can click amazing pictures by keeping your points of interest at proper location.
