[FYI] Nokia Belle for N8 has continuous autofocus and 30fps video recording

   

 

Nokia Betalabs just posted that the Nokia Bella update for the ol’ Nokia N8 has all the features of the betalabs (now old) camera update for Symbian Anna devices.

Yup, that’s 30 fps video recording and continuous auto focus in video, in close up mode, on the best cameraphone in the world:

With Nokia Belle downloads starting this week, more people will have access to the great camera features we offered as a preview in the Camera Update for Nokia N8, namely 30fps video recording and continuous autofocus in video close-up mode.

On top of that, the camera UI in Belle has been further improved compared to the earlier application update. For example, the placement of the on-screen shutter button was changed for better ergonomics in landscape and portrait orientation, and the main controls were moved to the bottom of the viewfinder for a cleaner look.

As a result, you should not try to install the old camera update on your N8, if you already have updated to Symbian Nokia Belle.

I believe the continuous Auto-Focus is only in "close up" mode on the N8. Tried that? :o)
