Nokia 6220 Classic indoor photo taking with manual setting

We test Nokia 6220 Classic with indoor lighting photo taking with manual setting. The ISO speed can be set in Nokia 6220 Classic, four settings are available, auto, low, medium, or high. Low translate to ISO 100, Medium translate to ISO 400, and High translate to ISO 800.

In this test, it appears that the noise level is very low even up to ISO 800. This is going to be comfirmed with more test at a later time. In the following, I will first show the auto flash setting, and with all 4 different ISO setting, the flash is turned on by the phone.

1) Auto ISO, Flash Auto (ON), ISO 107, Shutter 1/33.

2) Fix ISO LOW, Flash Auto (ON), ISO 100, Shutter 1/33.
3) Fix ISO MEDIUM, Flash Auto (ON), ISO 400, Shutter 1/33.
4) Fix ISO HIGH, Flash Auto (ON), ISO 800, Shutter 1/33.
Suprisingly, we got the following 2 STRANGE findings:

  • The maximum shutter speed seems like cap at 1/33, don't really know why is that so.
  • The ISO 800 image appears to be darker than ISO 400 with the same shutter speed!


Next we test with manaully disable the flash.

1) ISO Auto, Flash OFF. ISO - 282, shutter = 1/19.
2) Fix ISO LOW, Flash OFF. ISO - 100, shutter = 1/9.
3) Fix ISO MEDDIUM, Flash OFF. ISO - 400, shutter = 1/12.
4) Fix ISO HIGH, Flash OFF. ISO - 800, shutter = 1/25.
Things become normal when the flash is turned off, higher ISO setting, higher shutter speed. And no much noise can be seen in these few cases. And the auto setting seems like have done a good job.

More results will be shown in the later post.
