Messed up photos when done not in sunlight.

[bijomaru]

I have this issue with my phone, but I am not sure is it just common in these type of camera or there something wrong with mine. When I am making photo outside, in sunlight, it is just great. It is all I expect and what makes me happy.

Example: 1st image (Corvette Stingray caught on P'borough street :D )
454

But whenever I'll make a photo inside even during day, it becomes very "noisy"

455

It is even worse in dark places, but I can understand that because of low light. But on this second image there is obviously plenty of light. I saw somewhere on some forum about N70, an images from some car showroom, made during a day. They are 100% clear. Was it just pure luck that somehow it was lighter there or ..... don't know. What can be reason for this and should I be worried about it ?

I havent had any problems inside or out mine are crystal clear, make sure that all of the image settings are on automatic including flash.

My settings are all on automatic and even in low light my pictures ar clear

What's your firmware version bijomaru? It's possible a firmware upgrade could help here. It's definitely not as good as it should be, but it's not so bad that I'd imagine you'll easily be able to get it looked at under warranty - hell, it's hard enough to get simple things fixed.

there is something else i have noticed, the type of photo you take can alter the picture slightly. you can take a pic with the camera upright and click the centre stick in or you can turn the phone on its side and take the picture with the button on the side of the phone. I dont know if this is the same with everyon elses but the quality seems to be slightly better when the picture is taken from the side angle (dont worry though the phone rotates it for you anyway). this is because of different screen resolutions from the side shot if you zoom in it goes to 12.5% but if its a shot while the phone is upright it zooms in at 25%.

I hope this helps you a little because to me it now looks like ramallings of a mad man. lol

I had some old firmware from august last year or so. Don't remember exact numbers though. I am still waiting for my phone coming back from some Higher Level Nokia Repair Centre. Too bad they propably upgrade firmware to newer one, but still it'll be Orange.

And about making pictures with the side button. I know that issue with longer time needed for saving. But sometimes error message appear and I have to shot it again. So I just don't use it. Otherwise I might not have that Corvette Stinger, 'cause I have only seen it once :)

ohh... well when they upgrade your firmware then it might sort out the problem with the side button because mine is fine and it doesnt take that much longer than if i use the center button.
