Samsung i8510 INNOV8

Camera
The most important aspect of the INNOV8 is its 8 megapixel auto-focus camera. It’s feature-rich and has plenty of settings. The various shoot modes include an easy-to-use, auto-stitch Panorama, Smile, Blink and Face Detection with a built-in image stabilizer, and Wide Dynamic range. The self timer mode has up to a 10-second delay. An image editing mode is available for spicing images and adjusting colors, tones, brightness etc.

Images taken with no specific settings in normal lighting conditions look quite good, and colors were vibrant and quite clear.

Macro mode is also great, as the level of detail you’ll get is evident. Better still, you’ll get a clear picture even 1.5cm away from the subject.

With Night Mode active, the amount of noise present in the images is quite evident, but for a mobile phone camera the images are still quite good, all things considered.

Even normal daylight images are pretty good, but images in low light do seem a bit off with focus in certain areas.

The Smile detection feature automatically releases the shutter and captures the subject as soon it detects what the on-board computer assumes to be a smile. This system will also work with existing images on your PC or normal snapshots on brochures etc.
