Nokia Adding New Camera Features to Symbian Anna Update for N8

Humberto Saabedra

Nokia N8Nokia has announced new features being added to the Symbian Anna update for the N8 coming in the next few weeks, with key features taken from hacks performed by the Symbian community. When the update for the N8 rolls out it will add continuous autofocus for video capture and full 720p30 video resolution for video capture, making the camera functionality in the N8 the best on the market.

With continuous autofocus for video recording, the subject of the image will not lose focus as the camera is pointed near and far while following the subject and the inclusion of 30fps video recording means that the video can be smoother and easier to capture when dealing with fast action. This has delayed the Anna update for the N8 as the C7 and other related models have been updated, with Nokia refusing to commit to a new date for the update.
