Better photography in low light is an area Nokia hopes to incorporate into future smartphones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last month Nokia unveiled a camera phone incorporating a ’41-million-pixel’, 1\/1.2?-size, imaging sensor. The Nokia 808 PureView<\/a> also boasts an f\/2.4 Carl Zeiss lens.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Amateur Photographer<\/em>, Nokia?s lead program manager for capture devices Damian Dinning today said that tackling low light and camera shake will be key, as smartphones increasingly compete against traditional digital compact cameras.<\/p>\n

?That is an area we want to improve,? said Dinning, adding that Nokia wants to use pixels in ?new and different ways?, following the release of the 808 PureView.<\/p>\n

Though he declined to elaborate, Dinning claimed that a combination of imaging senor, software algorithms and pixels can be used to further improve image quality.<\/p>\n

He added that it would be easy to incorporate features such as tilt-and-shift into smartphones, allowing users to be more creative.<\/p>\n

Dinning stressed that Nokia wants to move away from an industry ?fixation? with megapixels, focusing instead on areas such a high-quality electronic zooms, and how a device’s pixels are used.<\/p>\n

The PureView deploys technology known as ?oversampling?. <\/p>\n

?Pixel oversampling combines many pixels to create a single (super) pixel?,? states a paper on PureView technology, co-written by Dinning. <\/p>\n

?When this happens, you keep virtually all the detail, but filter away visual noise from the image. <\/p>\n

?The speckled, grainy look you tend to get in low-lighting conditions is greatly reduced. And in good light, visual noise is virtually non-existent.?<\/p>\n

The 808 PureView is scheduled to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.<\/p>\n

Dinning said that initial user feedback suggests that photographers will use the device as a ‘second camera’.<\/p>\n

Though a UK price is yet to be confirmed, the 808 PureView is expected to cost around Euros 450, excluding VAT.<\/p>\n

The phone?s software has yet to be finalised, according to Dinning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
