Advice on Taking Pictures.. (taken from forums.se-nse.net)

Here's the site.. http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=28

I'll just paste the info here if you're too lazy to click on the link..

S700i:
General: If the subject has strong light behind it, use Spot Photometry to allow the camera to adjust for what you want to see.
Try and use the white balance settings as much as possible, you will be suprised at how wrong the Auto can be, cloudy and sunlight give warmer colours indoors too.
The lens is fixed focus, most things should be fine from about 50cm to infinity.

Low Light: Always make sure you hold it still for at least a second after you press the shutter button, ignore the noise it makes. The shutter can be open for up to 1/4 ofa second, but in low light there is some delay in response. Keep the phone still till you see the image taken.
I was thrown at first as I am used to being able to hear the shutter open and close on proper cameras, the S700i just plays a full shutter open/close noise when you press the button, even though is it still exposing.
If you are using the LED to help, set the white balance to daylight or cloudy to get better colour reproduction.
Night mode just reduces noise most of the time, but will also allow the shutter to expose for longer, so judge how important it is.

K750i/W800i

Focusing: Being a true Autofocus camera you have the two stage shutter button. First line up your shot, gently press the shutter until the camera aquires and locks focus, this primes the camera ready to shoot. A small green dot appears on the top left of the screen and there is a short double beep to let you know it is ready. Now to take the picture continue to press the button fully, the picture will be taken.
As with the S700i, keep the camera still for a second after to make sure you dont get any movement in the shot.
The whitebalance settings are the same, but you loose spot photometry.
The closer something is the less there will be in focus around it, so take that into account.
Low Light: If you are shooting in low light and using the LEDS, they are at half brightness until you actually take the picture, so the image gets a bit better. The whitebalance seems to adjust automatically.

Macro Mode: Shooting in macro mode, the closest you can focus is around 10cm, you can try closer and it looks in focus on screen but it won't be.
The closer something is, due to depth of field, the less there will be in focus infront and behind the subject, so take that into account.

Definitions:

Aperture: The size of the hole letting light into the camera. It is measured as an F number. This is a ratio of the radius of the hole to the focal length, so the smaller the number that larger the aperture and more light is let in. The K750i is F2.8 and the S700i is F4.

Exposure: The act of collecting light on the sensor to create the image. It is a mixture of shutter speed, sensitivity and lens aperture.

Focal Length: The distance between the lens and the sensor, this affects the perspective of the picture. Most cameraphones are made to 35mm equivilent, this is the standard angle that takes a picture that is roughly how you see through your eyes. Less than 35mm will get a wider image, and more than that goes into telephoto, zooming in.
The S700i is 4.35mm and the K750i is 4.8mm, both look to be 35mm equivilent.
This Equivilent is compared to a 35mm film camera using a 35mm length lens.

Resolution: This is usually referred to in Megapixels, and generally the higher the better. A picture of 1280x960 is usually refered to as 1.3Mp and 1600x1200 as 2Mp. VGA is 640x408, roughly 0.3Mp.
Resolution is actually a measure of resoving power, the ability of the device to distinguish between objects, it involves the lens, snesor and processing. The Sharp 902 for example, is rated at 2Mp but the images lack actual detail, through poor software processing and what looks to be a poor lens, so the S700i and Nokia 6630 take better pictures.

Shutter Speed: The shutter is a mechanical or electrical system of timing the exposure. It is measured in seconds, the S700i has a range of 1/4 to 1/1693 of a second. The faster it is the less likely the picture will be blurred, but it lets in less light so night shots are always longer.

Some Tips for clicking quality pictures:

� Under room conditions, i.e. indoors, if there is sufficient light, clicking the picture with Fluorescent Settings, brings about some clarity to the picture. You can find this under white balance. Even under sufficient room light (artificial light) there is noise because of lack of sunlight.

� Do not use Night Mode and Flash Together. Night mode makes the frame rate very slow in the view finder. The auto focusing also becomes slow. When using flash the picture taken just becomes extra white and you cannot see anything clearly.

� When taking pictures in pitch black, try to take close-ups with macro mode on and flash on. All the night pictures examples given above are taken in pitch black situations.

� When in artificial lighting conditions, like in a room, you can take pictures with Night mode on. It makes the picture look brighter and also reduces noise. You can try the fluorescent setting with this and see if it improves the picture quality. It should be noted that while in Night Mode, the camera should be absolutely steady for optimum performance.

� When clicking close-ups, keep a distance of at least 8cm to 10 cm. if you are too close the auto focus doesn�t set into place properly.

� When using flash under pitch dark conditions (low), the picture might turn out to be yellowish sometimes. To correct this you can choose Incandescent � under White Balance.

wow! grabhe complete tutorial na jud ni! nice kaayo na imo g post kel2985 im pretty sure daghan jud ka matabangan ana. at list poeple will understand whats the basic things to consider when taking a shot so they wont end up blaming their handsets for their faulty settings. most of the people just shot n shot lang not considering the condition of the subject.

[kel2985]

Yeah.. it also takes skill when taking photos. Hope this helps..

i'm planning to buy a SE W880i, walkman fone w/ 2.0mp camera... ang problema kay wala may siyay auto focus nga feature!
naa bay paagi para pag compensate ang auto focus?

salamat!

[box2joe]

wala jud bro! hardware stuff man gud ng auto focus. if you like an auto focus function with the walkaman 2.0 player better buy k550i then flash it with a w610i main firmware then change the acoustic driver with the w880i the result youll get the walkmancybershot functions much more cheaper pa compare sa w880i but with all the functions that you need, highly customabale pa jud. :mrgreen:

@ kel: makatabang jud na bro basta kamao lang cila mubasa. hehehehehe.....

[piaosigua]

OT lang ko bro. Need your help guys.. Ang SE w810i camera nko d naman mu.shoot gud. nig half press nko mu.ato-focus nya mu.green dayun, nya nig press na jud nko pra mu.shoot d naman nuon mugana maski unsa-on nko duot. ang kataw-anan kay nig buhi nko sa button dha pa nuon cya mu.shoot.. help guys... na unsa naman ni? firmware problem ra ni or naa jud problem sa hardware? try nko gi restore default ang phone mao ra man ghapon..
