Knowing the shortcomings of the tool and the maker makes it more familiar. <br />The Nokia phone is an amazing product. I just hope Nokia can survive being cut off at the knees by Microsoft.Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037227641635397906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655905163874685657.post-8210992791664138192012-07-30T21:15:09.689-04:002012-07-30T21:15:09.689-04:00Beatrice, I definitely will keep my "old"...Beatrice, I definitely will keep my "old" cameras. The phone, however, is a really neat, always handy, camera. Especially when considering all it can do. House work, laundry? Surely it won't be long before there is "an app for that"!Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037227641635397906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655905163874685657.post-54772174802399308892012-07-30T10:41:46.910-04:002012-07-30T10:41:46.910-04:00LOL!

Now when they make one that can take care of the house and do the laundry, then check back! But really this photo post was quite amazingly well done...are you getting ready to get rid of your bulky digital SLR equipment? Somehow, I think NOT.Beatrice P.

As to where to hold the camera: I use trifocals which makes it a bit tricky for me. The phone is not my only problem.Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037227641635397906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655905163874685657.post-43445043231481019412012-07-29T01:53:34.970-04:002012-07-29T01:53:34.970-04:00Ludwig, you don't have to hold it far away fro...Ludwig, you don't have to hold it far away from you, and as I have found out (by trial and error) the way to focus on a certain aspect in your shot (such as a particular flower or something else) is tap on the touch window where you want to focus. Let's say your taking a shot of a plant pot in a windowsill. In the screen you have the window, the plant pot etc. Simply press your finger on the plant pot. It should now be in focus whilst the window, sill, etc are out of focus. It does take some time to master because as you tap on the screen to focus on an object, you have to keep the phone still. Just a tip.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565202952790011951noreply@blogger.com
