A lot of people noticed the camera shake, a valuable thing we also learnt that day (which hell affects even the best of cameras without some super anti shake mechanisms like panasonic』s Mega OIS). Vlad attributes this camera shake to the camera button which causes the shake. Confirmed by engadget pal, Thomas Ricker. Pressing the screen apparently causes less camera shake.
1. There is a touch button to take pictures on the N8 if you prefer.
2. That』s never been a problem before on other camera buttoned Nokias
3. Generally you』d hold the N8 with two hands, like a digital camera, though one hand is fine.
4. First you press half way to lock, then you press down (which is very easy and motionless to the rest of the camera). If you are pressing fully down without the lock then you may get the camera shake, which would explain why certain shots seemed out of focus (it is touch and go when you press all the way down at once whether it would focus, it』s not designed that way), as to generate the force needed to push down the focus lock and shutter at the same time WOULD push the phone down. Hence why it』s difficult in the attempt to make it idiot proof. (I can push it with my pinky and it won』t shake – though not advisable in real life usage. :p)
