6600 camera setting and problem...

What's the difference between High, Medium and Low in the camera photo quality setting?...I found that there is only difference in memory usage...High quality will gain more memory while Low will use less memory...I tried to capture some photos with High, Medium and Low setting...but I found that those photos are the same...any idea?? I found another problem with my camera setting...I tun on the camera and go to setting...when I switch the quality to Low...and then I switch the quality again to Medium...then I am unable to get back to the camera by pressing the Back button...I gotta exit and turn the camera on again....anyone experience this??? __________________ Due to different JPEG compression methods, there are three image quality options: High, Normal, and Basic. This affects the image quality and file size, not the resolution. If you use 1 MB of memory for images only, the Nokia 6600 phone would fit approximately 22 Normal quality images taken in Standard mode. a basic picture takes about 18Kb, a Normal 45Kb, and a High about 68Kb. in night modus more size is taken for a picture... __________________ For my 6600...a basic photo will take about 20kb....a normal one around 28kb....a high photo will just take about 35kb...why isit so much different from yours??? I still can't get the answer...usually I take photo in high quality...but today I found that the quality is no different between High normal and basic...so what is the point of using High quality?...what is the point of this option?...or there is different but I dun know?...who knows?? __________________ that is the way Jpeg converts data.... Imaging you take a picture of a red background (solid) the file will be only 5 Kb even less take a picture of a red curtin (more shades) more data needed to save the file and so on... if you have a picture of a red house, with blue sky, green grass and brown tree, yellow car etc you have more data. simple to explane; a image exicist out of pixels, every pixel excest out of data what the color of that pixel is, and the color is split into RGB (RED, GREEN, and BLUE) if R: 255 G: 255 B: 255 the color is white. if R: 000 G: 000 B: 000 the color is Black if R: 255 G: 000 B: 000 the color is Red if R: 000 G: 000 B: 255 the color is blue if R: 255 G: 255 B: 000 the color is yellow if R: 000 G: 112 B: 175 you have the color of the Nokia logo etc. so with these you can make almost every color. So in a RAW or TIFF image file every pixel is saved like xxx,xxx,xxx as R,G,B and so the image looks in data file like; 021,154,001:015,165,211:...,...,...:...,...,... and so one... but sometimes if some colors are the same and then the file will refer to them like a shortcut. imagine a image data file: 021,154,001:015,165,211:154,021,164:154,045,165:12 1,145,005:021,154,001:021,154,001:021,154,001:165, 244,112:...,...,...:...,...,...:... so the image editor will look at the code and it sees it has got the same data in the file 021,154,001 come alone 4 times 021,154,001 :015,165,211:154,021,164:154,045,165:121,145,005:021,154,001:021,154,001:021,154,001:165,244,112:...,...,...:...,...,...:... You see? ok, a Jpeg will refer to that color the next 3 times like this 021,154,001[1]:015,165,211:154,021,164:154,045,165:121,145,005:1 :1:1:165,244,112:...,...,...:...,...,...:... so instead of placing 9 ciffres it place 1, so less data this method is used in high mode, data is saved, but didn't changed colors. In Normal (medium) and (low) this method is used but they also look at colors the difference in color of a 102,135,255 (baby blue) and a 100,135,255 (baby blue but a little bit more brighter) is not very much and optical you don't notice the deference at first sight. so they merge the color both to 101,135,255. so they can use the first technigue to convert, and again data is less. in Low the range of colors merged is larger than in medium... i hope you understand now? __________________ Tu!@ng Man There is no reason why the pics should be the same. Maybe they only look the same on the phone? __________________ Of course with original picture squeezed to the small phone screen all of them would look the same. Try to zoom it up to 100% or compare those on PC - you'll see the difference. __________________ Yup...I compare all the photos in the pc...but after looking at it for about half an hour...I just found that...there is only different in the colour...in the basic quality...the colour may a little bit not as sharp as the one taken in High quality...that's all...it doesn't have any different in which one looks clearer... I try to zoom all the pics as much as i can...still found that there is only different in the sharpness of the colour...for example a wall which is blue in colour...the basic quality one looks lighter blue...and the high quality one looks a bittttttt deeper... Nothing to do with which one look clearer...all are blur in the same level....haha __________________ What you'd expect from a pinhead-size lens? To get crystal sharp stunning images you need big good optics in the first place. That setting makes sense only because of JPEG compression is lossy - smaller the size - more data gets lost. "Better quality" means here that you can get more data from the same image, though depending on image that extra data could be irrelevant for perceptional picture quality. __________________ I just wish to know what's the different between the setting....what's wrong?? I know it is just a VGA camera...however...I am satisfied with quality... __________________ Hello you two, You seem to know a bit about the 6600 I have a 6600 and i have bought a new memory card (128mb) I want to upload some small movie clips to my handset, like The Simpsons. I cant find a 3GP encoder/converter, do either of you know where i could download one? Thankyou, Dave __________________ the pc suit of 6600 will convert the clips itself to 3gp...but of course u have to set Convert all file type... anyway...3gp is very bad in quality...use 3rd party application like Smartmovie or Mobiclip to play in AVI file type...much better quality...
