Nokia N8 is capable of recording Smooth 30FPS video and 11MB 12MP noise reduced images with Hacked Custom Firmware
The Nokia N8 has been around since quite some time, and it has been fairly successful for its exceptional camera quality.
At its launch, the highlight of the handset was the 12 MP camera; making it one of the best camera-phones in the market.
Currently, the N8 can record 720p HD videos at 24 fps, and even that appears slightly pixilated. Many of the recent handsets are capable of recording video at 30fps, so there’s nothing new or revolutionary with the update. It is always better to have the feature officially offered by the manufacturer.
Damien Dinning, the man behind Nokia’s N8 camera, Tweeted unofficially that the N8 will shortly receive an update, which will improve some aspects of the camera and also bring 30fps video recording to the handset. Damien said, “There will be an N8 specific update coming which will. You need the code from Anna though”. According to him this new update will also improve image capture quality on the N8, so that seems like an added bonus.
It would be interesting to see how N8 will perform with the Symbian Anna update, given the amount of hype surrounding latter.
And if you one of the lucky Nokia N8 owners, with the help of well known Symbian hacker hyperX and his latest mod, you can get RAW like photos and shoot video at 30 frames per second.
hyperX mod is now available as installable application. All you need to do is to download latest version of the application, sign it, reboot your phone and start with taking high quality photos and videos.
Not sure if this would bring smiles on the faces of N8 owners, as camera or the camcorder is usually the least of people’s concerns. Nokia X7 the first phone with Symbian Anna is scheduled to launch in this month.
