The manual focus in Lumia 1020 gives you better control

Every photographer or photo enthusiast loves to avail better and smarter control. In other Smartphone’s, the users are forced to deal with the number of traditional and basic manual controls or can also find Smartphone devices, which doesn’t give any control at all. Even though when you saw the manufacturers giving the users the liberty to fix their own aperture, ISO and shutter speed, the focus still remained a big issue to address as it never came into the control of their fingers. The best what the users were able to do was to touch at any specific part of the display area and simply rely over the auto focus to get things right. Despite trying all hard and features, the manufacturers simply failed to give quality to the cameras of their Smartphone’s.

However, with Lumia 1020 the story is simply very much different, which is loved a lot by the Smartphone users. Here you get the on screen virtual dial option, which enables you to gradually shift the focus from foreground to the background and all the other things in between. It simply appears to be a cool breeze and stock of fresh air to the users. So, when you start using the manual focus, it simply appears to be incredible smooth. People who had their hands on experience claim that the camera is extremely responsive.

Set an infinite focus

As per Nokia, the users have the option of setting the focal plane of Lumia 1020’s camera from 15 cm to infinite level. The camera is very much useful when you see the autofocus unable to finding or while shooting different objects from a close angle. You have the option of shooting clearly in a dim lit space. If you are shooting via any window of your home the AF element in other Smartphone cameras is simply unable to find out the important thing in it, however, in Lumia 2010 with manual focus feature, you will be able to get a good control over such conditions. However, the only flaw found in this camera is that you will not be able to avail this feature while making a video otherwise this camera could had turned out to be an eternal one for the users. But looking in the perspective of a Smartphone, you hardly require this feature in video recording as it is only found in the bigger cameras backed by big size sensors. The depth of field of any mobile image is generally adequately deep for the auto focus for making things the right way. However, having this choice in such cases wherein it simply will not stop messing up the things it will certainly going to make a good difference.

    Fake Webcam is a ripoff – a few months after purchase, the company makes you ‘resubscribe/repurchase’ at full price, even though this is never mentioned on their website.
    We were using it in studio to share our music videos online, now we are reporting this company to proper authorities.

    Thank you for doing them all in sync, really helps those, like myself, to get a grasp as to what they think is best for them (others just want to discuss it and not show the quality itself). The tests were a nice addition and, though I wont use them for mics, thank you for putting that in too.

    I guess you have to rather dim to not have found that out by trial and error. What, though, when the LifeFrame 3 doesn’t want to open. It tries to get started, but the screen remains black and the symbol to indicate activity keeps “”turning””. It used to work fine, but now I am having this issue.

    Thank you so much. I was going nuts. I’ve had my Laptop for a few years now and never had a need to use the camera until now so I didn’t bother with it. You saved me a headache. Thanks again.
