Sony Ericsson S700 stands far better from the professional photographer’s perspective. The twin fronts perception is extremely vital – this suggests that you hold the mobile in straight placement like a typical electronic electronic camera. The finger precisely touches the shutter launch on the side of the phone, whilst the used can manage the direct exposure payment. Lens system on the rear end is safeguarded by opening up lamellas; there is additionally a white diode to brighten the scene. Opening up the lamellas makes electronic camera prepared to break.

Anyway you sense that you hold an electronic camera in your hand and also not a cellphone. Simply check out a display screen where there are recognized pictograms and also information on boundaries of a taken scene: image dimension, variety of photos left, kind of memory, direct exposure dimension setting, white shade equilibrium etc. Setups opportunities are actually.

Camera shutter launch • direct exposure payment switches • display screen is extremely great (although there is no SIM card in the phone, all the features which do not call for visibility of a SIM come)

The 1.3 MP sensing unit generates photos with 1280 x 960 pixels dimension. The photos are a bit larger than the ones made by Nokia 7610 with the greatest resolution of 1152 x 864 pixels. Sony Ericsson S70 provides you a possibility to choose from even more layouts: 640 x 480, 320 x 240 and also 160 x 120.

Furthermore, Sony Ericsson S700 documents images criteria to the EXIF header of the JPG data. At every image you’ll discover day and also time, direct exposure time and also payment, aperture, ISO and also various other beneficial information. Incidentally, for all the photos we took the aperture continued to be the exact same (4.0 ), the direct exposure of the photos is controlled by the shutter rate and also ISO level of sensitivity.

Contrast of the photos

We had not optimum problems to make images on the phones discussion, as an example we had no possibility to obtain outdoors with Sony Ericsson S700. Anyhow, we still believe it is feasible to contrast the photos and also figure out which mobile makes much better photos. On the left it will certainly be the image made by Nokia 7610, on the right the image from Sony Ericsson S700.

Since the dimensions of the megapixel data are fairly huge (over 200 kB) for the complying with contrast we decreased the resolution to 800 x 600 pixels. We really did not transform anything else, certainly. To see the initial photos simply most likely to the 2nd web page of this short article.

The scene is taken via the home window, so there are some representations. Sony Ericsson S700 discloses even more information.

The home heating grid well reveals the general intensity of S700. . As we located later on from the EXIF resources the place metering is the reason much also brilliant direct exposure. .

White shade equilibrium trouble happens once again with the Nokia 7610. Direct exposure time at Sony Ericsson was 1/17, . that’s why the relocating individual is obscured. .

Sony Ericsson S700 reveals even more information, however additionally greater comparison.
