How’s the camera on the Nokia 6300 anyway?

Posted by Nis in Nokia 6300, photo.Comment on this post

Im glad you asked. Let me say right away. If you plan on using the pictures for anything other than sending to other phones, don’t bother. As you can see below, I have chosen 4 from the pictures I have taken with my Nokia 6300. Click on the thumbs and you can see the pictures in all their glory. Or rather, in all their somewhat-washed-out, could-need-a-bit-of-sharpening, glory.

This is my son. Isn’t he cute? He’s a recurring target for my cameras. I guess that’s just the way parents are.

My son again. As above the photo was taken in bright sunlight.

Last one of my son. Promise. This was taken on a slightly overcast day. And quite windy, which has nothing to do with the photograph other than I hate a photograph without at least a paragraph of text.

A sunset on the very nature-y sourthern end of a Danish island called Langeland. It was far more beautifull in person than this photo makes it look. It really shows off the Nokia 6300 lack of abillity when there is not enough light.

Did you take any pictures with your 6300 you would like to share? Someone should probably make a flickr-group with pictures from 6300’s. It isn’t as far-fetched as some of the groups I’ve seen.

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

    Some of the problems with the image quality are due to the photographer as well as the limitations of the camera phone. However, to make good photographs, you must understand the limitations of the camera.

    Some of your shots are facing into the sunlight which causes the lens to flare and makes the image washed out (1,3). You can shade the lens with your hand similar to a lens hood on a real camera. The “rainbows” are also caused by this. Try to keep the sun to your back.

    Also, some of the pictures have poor lighting conditions. In #2 your son is partly in shade and partly in direct sunlight. Most cameras cannot take a good picture of something with this great difference in lighting. This is not your fault, you cannot control the sunlight.

    I just baught a 6300, great pictures as said before and a lot other stuff like memory options, screen resolution, case, stylish.. etc.! The battery life depends on your usage. When I take pictures and play games/listen music its dead in 2 days, but for regular calling I had it for 7 days now!

    WO summed up very well about our Nokia 6300. I’ve taken many photos with my phone, so many till a friend commented, “y dun u get a SLR?” haha. One thing I find that I needed to do is to hold my phone as steady as possible to minimise blurred pictures, esp in poor lighting condition (eg at night) That means taking pictures of people or any moving objects can be challenging at night/in poor lightings. I found some tips that could help though:

    1. While in camera mode, press OPTION and scroll to NIGHT MODE ON and choose it to compensate for poor lighting :)
    2. You can also play with EFFECTS which I find rather amusing :
    3. Another is WHITE BALANCE – try it to see for yourself if you haven’t already done that :)

    I would like to share my photos. Any forum to do that? hehe

    I can be reached at pleasanthamster@yahoo.com (my apology for taking the liberty to post my email here)

    i agree with u….......but dont blame it .
    even most modern cameras may have flaws.
    its just the benign …......go on take snaps ..analyse…...photography is a skill.
    you should also consider that there was time before we invented digital camera.
