Promise delivered, Nokia N8 gets CAF\30 FPS and much more via Betalabs Update


As I wrote in last post that Monday will see one more update specifically for Nokia N8 Camera, the good news just got in. You can download the update from Nokia BetaLabs right now via the following link

Beta Labs Update Still Capture Viewfinder Beta Labs Update Video Capture Viewfinder

But its just not the Continuous Auto-Focus (CAF) and 30 fps recording than earlier 25fps, but Damian and team have aimed for many other request and delivered about each. Like some of the highly requested features were as follows:

  • Ability to record video at closer distances (Macro Video Recording)
  • Smoother video of moving subjects or when panning
  • Faster access to scene modes, especially close-up mode
  • Exposure control in video
  • Viewfinder grid not effected by scene modes, camera exit/reopening
  • Smoother zoom
  • Settings accessed through one control point
  • Red-eye reduction performance improvements

And its good to hear that all of the requests are fulfilled and delivered by a new Camera App via Betalabs (1.64mb in size). You can find the details at the official blog post.

  1. hi nitish. I had mailed u abt a query with nokia E6. I am not able to reply back to comments that i receive on facebook through mail on my phone. Can u pls help me in this.

    1. When you reply to such a mail then keep yourself in CC to notice that if mail comes to you as well. 

      will help in identify that if mails are not going through or only Facebook mails.

  2. Hi Nitish, one question. I cannot find much difference between the vidoes shot prior the update and later. Where exactly the 30fps play in?
