Video: Nokia N9 low light video sample?
@Camb078 tweeted last night about possibly a low light video from the Nokia N9. The video is just labelled as that, there’s nothing to confirm it’s from N9.
Listening to the audio, it doesn’t seem like it because the N9 records in stereo with proper left and right channel separation when recording. i.e. things moving from left to right appear to move left to right as left side records things slightly different to the right. The Nokia N8 has stereo recording but they are positioned differently, to get front and ambient sound. I prefer the way the N9 does it (like the N93) as it really adds a lot more atmosphere when listening through headphones or decent speaker system.
It could be a typo, but on three videos?
BTW, this would still be preproduction if it is N9, and Damian Dinning has said before that there’s still optimizations going on.

Frame rate reduced. Perhaps night mode on?

Lol wow, night mode was laggy as hell.
If like N8 there might be low light and night mode. Low light is normally sufficient. Night mode I find unusable. It’s like return of 2004.
Why is night-mode so laggy??
I have yet to see ANY device with a non laggy night mode. Night mode is laggy by design, even for photos. Try it on your phone.
Night mode is laggy even in the daytime!
Think Simon’s probably used to using camcoders with infrared night mode. Doubt phone cameras are gonna support that anytime soon lol
Nokia’s N93 had a super low light mode. It retains fluid motion, but the colours are B+W.
On the plus side, N9 has dual LED. If as bright as N86 (supposedly brighter) it’ll do quite good for people low light vids.
Needs a bit of hardware / software tweaking..
Never used night mode on my N8.
Makes no sense considering it can record well in normal mode
You should try it then. It captures relatively more detail though compromising with shitty framerates~
Why do people say ‘laggy’ when they see something with a low frame rate? That’s not what the word means. Lag means to fall behind, or a delayed response. It’s not appropriate to use the word for video unless you’re talking about a live broadcast where there’s a delay between the live event and somebody viewing it. Frame rate isn’t a factor.
Unless, of course, there is a delay between frame A and frame B which should not be there. Reduced framerate is not lag when intentional, but when not intentional (I want to capture 30 frames each second, but my camera can’t keep up and the 30:th frame lagged behind)
