Adjusting Exposure Compensation Settings Of 808 To Overcome Inaccurate Exposure

[ Edited ]

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.

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.

Cheers.
