the camera on the new phone

I am learning to use the phone on the new camera. Certainly the iPhone 3gs camera is a step down from the N95 camera. So I have been taking lots of photos to get an idea of what it will and will not do.

At the clock tower
Like any camera, it is at it's best when there is plenty of light and no movement.

But it starts to struggle when the light is low. I used one of the free apps from the app store to improve the dark areas.

As it gets darker, camera shake becomes a problem.

As it gets darker still, the photos become grainy. This shot also has quite difficult light levels and I have used a third party app to improve the light levels.

And the sutter speed can be quite slow.

I do not know what the ISO range is, or the shutter speeds or the aperture. But the camera really only has an auto mode. The ability to pick the focus point is good and this will also impact the light metering. This is normally good. I find it quite fiddly to set up the focus and press the shutter release, but maybe this is just a matter of practice. Also I am finding that the location of the camera is causing me to get quite a few images with my fingers in them. Maybe this is also just a matter of practice. We will see what happens with time. It took me a good 12 months to start taking good photos with the N95, so it may take as long to get used to the iPhone.
