Part 1
Q: How long has the PureView been in development?
(PureView開發用了多長時間?)
A: Five years
(5年.)

Q: When will the 808 PureView be available in the market?
(808 PureView什麼時候會上市?)
A: The Nokia 808 PureView is expected to ship in the second quarter of 2012.
(預計將會在2012第2季開始配發)

Q: What’s the maximum ISO of the 808?
(808的最高ISO是多少?)
A: The maximum ISO is not yet confirmed, but expect it to be impressive!
(還未確定, 期待它將令人印象深刻!)

Q: Does the camera use tap to focus?
(808相機有觸屏對焦功能嗎?)
A: Yes!
(有!)

Q: Will we see this type of capabilities on WP in the future?
(我們會在未來的WP上看到這些能力嗎?)
A: Nokia is planning on bringing PureView technologies to future products. But we haven’t commented further than that.
(Nokia正計畫中把PureView技術帶到未來的產品上. 但我們沒有比這更進一步評論過.[不是說了會移植到WP上嗎?=.=])

Q: With regards to the battery, how many shots can the 808 take on full charge?
(關於電池, 在滿充的情況808能拍多少張照片.)
A: Nokia hasn’t provided exact specifics on those specs, but we can say that we expect the Nokia 808 PureView to have roughly the same battery performance as the N8 when it comes to imaging capabilities
(Nokia並未提供明確的參數, 不過我們可以說的是我們能期待808 PureView在拍照這一塊擁有跟N8差不多的電池續航能力.)

Q: What is the typical file size for a photo taken at the highest resolution?
(在最高分辨率的照片下, 一般文件大小是多少?)
A: It depends on the compression, but the average file size is between 10 and 15 megabytes at full resolution.
(這憑籍壓縮程度, 不過在最高分辨率下, 平均文件大小在10~15MB之間[這是一般的壓縮程度, 要是設定超精細的話會達到20MB以上])

Q: What is oversampling?
(超取樣是什麼?)
A: Oversampling refers to the use of Nokia PureView imaging technologies to use information from multiple pixels in the sensor to produce one perfect pixel in the photo. This White Paper explains the technology behind PureView and oversampling.
(超取樣參照Nokia PureView的影像技術是說使用傳感器上數個像素的數據組成為照片上的單個完美像素[白皮書裡是寫為超像素]. 白皮書裡解釋了PureView與超取樣背後的技術.)

Q: Do you think this technology will start moving even more ‘dedicated camera’ users into mobile photography?
(你認為這項技術將會吸引更多專注相機[在說DC吧, 不大確定]的使用者進入移動攝影領域?)
A: Absolutely! We believe that today’s announcement and further Nokia PureView imaging products will further blur the line between happy snappers and serious photographers.
(肯定的! 我們相信今天的發表以及更往後的Nokia PureView影像產品將會更加模糊一般拍照以及攝影發燒友的界線)

Q: Can the amount of RAM cope with the demands of the system?
(RAM容量足夠應付系統的要求?)
A: The RAM system on the Nokia 808 PureView is extremely powerful. In video mode, for example, the image processing pipeline handles over 1 billion pixels per second!
(Nokia 808 PureView的RAM系統是非常強大的. 在攝錄模式下, 圖像加工管線能處理每秒超過1億個像素!)

Q: Who makes the camera sensor?
(傳感器是誰製造的?)
A: The optics and lenses are co-developed by Nokia and Carl Zeiss, but not the sensor.
(鏡片跟鏡頭是Nokia與卡爾蔡司合作開發的, 傳感器不是.)

Q: How much more light does this oversampling get you compared to 41 mpx? How do these figures compare to the N8?
(超取樣的進光量比起41mpx多多少? 這些數據跟N8比起來又如何?)
A: We don’t have final figures there yet, this is an area we are still working on. Currently the difference is significant. In daylight with full wide-angle/maximum oversampling there is no visual noise in 5mp images, yet the detail is far higher than previous devices.
(我們還沒有最後的數據, 我們還在測試中. 目前為止的差異是顯著的. 在白天, 廣角端滿檔/最高超取樣率下在5mpx圖像上是看不到雜訊的, 細節方面遠比之前的設備高出很多.)

Q: Would the user of the Nokia 808 still be able to make full use the video and picture editing build-in software from Symbian S3?
(Nokia 808的使用者還能完全用到之前在塞班S^3上內建的影片與圖片編輯軟件的功能嗎?)
A: Absolutely! There’s never been a better opportunity to these editing tools. We actually have some improvements to the editing software on the Nokia 808 PureView, with a simplified video editor and an enhanced still image editor. You can also crop images directly in the full screen gallery view.
(肯定的! 我們還對808的編輯軟件做了升級, 更簡化的影片編輯器以及功能更強的靜態圖片編輯器. 你還可以在查看照片的時候直接進行裁切工作.)

Q: Was there any specific reason Pure View was launched on Symbian over WP7?
(PureView在塞班上發起而不是WP7, 這有什麼具體的原因嗎?)
A: We’ve heard this question many times! This is a great example of how we’re still investing in Symbian by bringing innovation on top of that platform. But as we’ve said, you will see PureView technologies coming to future products as well.
(我們已經聽到這問題很多遍了! 這是一個很好的例子表示我們依然還投資在塞班身上通過把革新技術帶到這平台上. 但就像我們之前提到的, 你們也將會看到PureView技術出現在未來的產品上.)

Q: What is the aperture of the 808 PureView?
(808 PureView的光圈有多大?)
A: f/2.4
(f/2.4[數值越小, 光圈越大, 反之就越小. 目前最大該屬HTC One系列的f/2.0])


Q: The Pure View teaser was a video. So, is the 808 a video-centric device rather than for photography?
(PureView teaser[我知道這字表達什麼, 可是不懂怎麼解釋...囧(引題嗎?)]是段影片, 所以808是個以影片為重心的器材而非攝影嗎?)
A: The Nokia 808 has been designed for the full video/imaging experience -(including audio!)
(Nokia 808是以全影像/圖像體驗而設計的 - (包括音頻!))

Q: What is the name of the GPU chip?
(GPU晶片是什麼名字?)
A: We typically don’t disclose who our suppliers are of various components. What we can say though is that Nokia was one of the co-developers of the companion chip
(我們通常不會透露誰是我們組件的供應商. 我們可以說的是Nokia是那顆協處理晶片的其中一個合作開發者.[搞神秘...怕這技術會洩漏出去嗎......])

Q: Will this chip be used by any other manufacturers, or did you guys develop it exclusively with your supplier for the 808?
(那這晶片會被其他廠家使用嗎? 還是這是你們與供應商獨家為808開發而已?)
A: The sensor was co-developed by Nokia, it’s exclusive to Nokia. Definitely not an off the shelf component!
(這傳感器是Nokia合作開發, 它是Nokia獨占的. 絕對不是一個開架式組件!)

Q: Is it possible to get RAW pictures with the 808 PureView?
(808 PureView支援RAW格式的圖片嗎?)
A: No raw support, but it is possible to capture the full resolution images which correspond to the aspect ratio in use. You can also select a higher quality JPEG setting.
(不支援RAW格式, 但要以與長寬比相對應的全像素去拍是可以的. 你也可以選擇更高品質的JPEG設定[就是壓縮率].)

Q: Will the 808 have manual exposure controls and auto exposure lock at half-press?
(808有手動曝光控制跟在半按的時候自動鎖定曝光率嗎?)
A: Yes!
(有!)

Q: Many have lamented the lack of lens protection (ala N82, N95, N900), etc. Are the days of a lens cover gone as a design element?
(許多人在哀嘆缺少鏡頭保護(比如N82, N95, N900鏡頭蓋), 等等. 以前的保護蓋設計要素已經消失了嗎?)
A: We actually announced a hard cover accessory with lens cap for the Nokia 808 PureView at MWC12, for users who value this.
(我們才在MWC 2012上為808 PureView發布了一款配有鏡頭蓋的硬殼配件, 給看重這點的使用者們.[吝嗇鬼, 應該跟機送才對=.=])

Q: What’s the HDMI output of the Nokia 808 PureView?
(808 PureView的HDMI輸出是多少?)
A: HDMI output is 1080p
(HDMI的輸出是1080p[Type D].)

Q: Is this technology similar to the Lytro cameras?
(這項技術跟光場相機[一種新的相機光學概念]相似嗎?)
A: No, it’s not similar. But Lytro is another great example of how you can bring great innovation to imaging. Nokia PureView technologies are unique to Nokia.
(不, 一點都不相似. 不過光場相機是對攝影界另一個很好的革新例子. Nokia PureView技術是Nokia獨一無二的.)

Q: What kind of capture delay is there based on the higher image size? Also is it possible to burst capture and what is the maximum burst speed?
(基于更高的圖像大小下會有什麼樣的延遲? 還有它能夠連拍嗎, 最高連拍速度是多少?)
A: You can capture continuously by holding the capture key, there’s no dedicated burst mode. Shot to shot in full resolution is similar to N8
(你可以持續地按著快門鍵來達到連拍效果, 並沒有專門的連拍模式. 在最高分辨率下拍攝與拍攝之間的速度跟N8差不多.)

Q: What is the shutter lag time on the 808 PureView?
(808 PureView的快門延遲時間是多少?)
A: The shutter lag is now just 0.09 seconds.
(快門延遲現在只要0.09秒[相當快了].)

Q: How much will the 808 PureView retail at?
(808 PureView的零售價將會是多少?)
A: The expected consumer price for the Nokia 808 PureView is EUR 450 before taxes and subsidies.
(預計是450歐元, 不計稅額以及補貼.)

Q: Will HDR imagery be incorporated in the 808?
(808支援HDR圖像嗎?)
A: We have provided exposure bracketing for the first time, we believe this will provide greater flexibility for use with PC editors which specialise in HDR. The delay in full resolution mode is roughly the same as the Nokia N8. There is no dedicated burst mode, but you can do continuous shooting by holding the shutter down. We’ve also included histogram for the first time
(我們第一次提供了曝光包圍功能[以當前照片的曝光率同時再拍上下各升降n級曝光補償的照片就叫曝光包圍. ], 我們相信這將會提供更高的伸縮性以應用在專攻HDR的PC編輯器上. [省略一段之前已經講過的...]. 我們也首次地加入了立方圖[實時查看照片曝光程度的小圖示].

Q: Does the exposure bracketing support 5 as well as the default 3 image cluster? Also, what is the time between capture for each image as this impacts on fuse quality?
(那這曝光包圍除了支援原來的3張一組之外還支援5張一組嗎? 還有, 這之間每張的拍攝時間是多少, 這會影響融合的品質嗎?)
A: 3 and 5 frames with increment control of 0.3, 0.7, 1.0 and 2.0 EV
(3以及5張的0.3, 0.7, 1.0以及2.0EV[曝光補值]的增量控制[為什麼只有增加沒有減少...])

Q: How many metering modes are there?
(一共有幾種測光模式呢?)
A: Just the one.
(就只有一種[無言...].)

Q: Is there any significance in 41MP as oppose to 40MP, or 50MP?
(41mpx有什麼特別的意義嗎, 相對40MP或是50MP來說?)
A: 41MP is what we needed to provide optimised 16:9 and 4:3 plus the zoom range we wanted to provide.
(簡單來說就是為了配合16:9跟4:3還有變焦範圍的最佳設定.)









Part 2
原文出處

Q: How long before we see this tech from other suppliers?
(我們需要花多少時間才能從其他廠商那看到這項科技?)
A: There were three significant challenges which we needed to overcome to create the camera in the 808 PureView:
1. Super high resolution sensor with greate low light performance
2. Incredible optics which can resolve the detail from the 41mp sensor, get this wrong and there’s not point in making it.
3. an image processign architecture that can handle over 1 billion pixels per second when recording video as well as the algorithms to retain the optimal detail captured with the high resolution sensor and optics.
(這有3個顯著的挑戰我們需要去克服才能製造808 PureView的相機:
1. 擁有很好低光表現的超高分辨率傳感器.
2. 難以置信的能解析41mpx傳感器細節的鏡片, 錯了的話就別想做下去了.
3. 一個在拍攝影片的時候能夠每秒處理超過1億個像素的圖像處理架構以及能保持以高分辨率傳感器與鏡頭所拍攝最佳細節的運算法.)

Q: How powerful is the single LED is for video recording? Does the camera unit use the LED flash in stills as well?
(拍攝影片時的那顆LED補光燈有多強? 那LED在拍照的時候也有被使用為閃光燈嗎?)
A: The LED is extremely bright. The challenge with LEDs now for video given the light source is very small is how to increase brightness without making it very uncomfortable for the subject. The LED can also be used as a torch. For stills it’s used only as a focus assist lamp (there is a user setting now to disable that function if you prefer). Of course for stills the xenon flash is the light source. We expect it to provide at least double the flash range of the Nokia N8.
(那個LED亮度是極亮的. 而現今給予影片的LED面臨的問題是光源非常小, 我們要挑戰的是如何提升亮度而不會令到被攝的主題看起來不舒服. 那個LED還能當成手電筒使用喔. 至於靜態照片它只被用作對焦補光燈而已(現在還能讓使用者自己設定要不要使用喔.)[太棒了! XD].那氙氣閃光燈理所當然就是給照片用咯[廢話 =.=]. 我們預計它將能提供至少比N8上的多兩倍的閃光距離])

Q: Is this technology compatible with current ‘zoom’ technologies e.g. Deep Zoom?
(這項技術能對應目前的'變焦'技術嗎?比如深度變焦?[這是什麼=.=?])
A: If I have understood your question correctly Deep Zoom is a technology for viewing images, not capturing them.
(如果我能正確理解你的問題的話[被打搶了 XD], 深度變焦應該是查看圖片的技術, 而非拍攝的)

Q: Does this phone support RAW processing or any way to get a full 41mpx photo such as on an Nseries?
A: RAW in a digital camera is easier to handle as typically images have to pass through a PC, whereas RAW on a smartphone brings a whole host of end to end experience challenges, which results in some kind of compromise in the experience somewhere. We do however provide full resolution images that correspond to the aspect ratio in use as well as a reduced compression setting.
[這一段明明part 1的時候問過, 記者老人癡呆嗎=.=?]

Q: Does the video recording use the initial accelerometer sensor position (the position the phone was when the it started recording) for setting the videoclip’s orientation?
(拍攝影片的時候方向感應會作用嗎? 可以設定影片的方向?)
A: Videos are always recorded in landscape.
(影片一直都只會以橫向拍攝)

Q: What about Panorama shots? Is Panorama mode back in PureView camera app?
(那全景照又如何呢? 全景模式會在PureView相機軟體上回歸嗎?)
A: We are still investigating this…
(我們對這仍然進行調查中...[還調查什麼...=.=Nokia的塞班相機軟體向來功能都比別家少(如各種濾鏡效果啊, HDR啊之類的) 雖然畫質是很好......])

Q: The “Pure View” teaser mentioned “Pure Depth” will this mean increased depth of field for mobile users?
(PureView宣傳影片裡面提到"純粹深度", 這意思是說景深的提升嗎?)
A: We were actually referring to the zoom capability, but I can see how you made the connection.
(其實我們是指變焦的能力, 不過我能理解你是怎麼把這聯想在一起)

Q: N8 has ‘What will you do with it?’ promo. It was great. What’s the 808′s tag line?
(N8在宣傳時有著"你將會用它幹什麼"的標題. 這很棒. 那808的標題是什麼呢?)
A: Not yet announced.
(還沒公佈.)

Q: If I record a video for 15 minutes, at full/max, highest definition, how many bytes will it consume?
(如果我用最高分辨率拍攝一段15分鐘的影片, 那將會吃掉多少bytes.[還bytes...至少都megabytes了吧=.=])
A: In 1080p at 30fps the 808 requires approximately 150mb/minute of recorded footage
(在1080p/30fps情況下, 808需要大概每分鐘150MB)

(Q: Does the Nokia 808 support macro mode?
(808支援微距模式嗎?[怎麼這記者那麼愛問廢話=.=])
A: Yes as close as 15cm but also with full zoom unlike many optical zooms
(有的, 最近能到15cm不過也包括完全變焦不像許多的光變那樣.)

Q: Is the size of the camera in a way set in stone, or do you expect to be able to bring the size down for future devices, or would that mean taking the maximum megapixel amount down?
(這相機的大小已經極致了嗎, 還是能在未來的機種把尺寸縮小, 或那會表示說像素數量會下降嗎?)
A: The size of the module is largely dictated (although not exclusively) by the size of the sensor.
(這個模組的大小在很大程度下是取決於(儘管不是必然)傳感器的尺寸.)

Q: What is the material used for body, camera lens protector unit, and does it have a removable battery and stereo speakers?
(808的機體, 相機鏡頭保護是用什麼材質的, 還有電池能自換嗎, 立體揚聲器?)
A: Polycarbonate for main body with a ceramic-like feel to it. The glass over the display is 2.5D Gorilla glass (curved at the edges). Gorilla glass is also used to protect the camera. Side buttons/switches and the camera bezel area is polished stainless steel. Battery is removable. Audio is recorded in stereo but there is a single speaker for playback in the device.
(808的全身是以聚碳酸酯材料製造的然後再配以類陶瓷材料塗裝. 螢幕上方的玻璃是使用2.5D康寧大猩猩玻璃(在邊緣進行弧度處理). 鏡頭上方的保護層亦是康寧大猩猩玻璃. 側邊按鍵/開關以及相機擋板是以不鏽鋼拋光處理. 電池能自換. 聲音是以立體聲錄音不過手機上只有單個揚聲器而已.[好可惜...如果是雙立體揚聲器的話就完美了......])

Q: What is the file size of a 41MP image, on average?
A: It depends on the selected compression level. Normal compression level max resolution images are typically 6-12mb and lower compression can be as much as 20-25mb.
[又是重複的...確定記者換上腦退化症了=.="]

Q: Is there any new technology to improve image stabilization on video mode?
(攝錄模式下有什麼新技術提升防抖的能力嗎?)
A: Some improvements.
(是有些提升的地方)

Q: Taking into account the size of the sensor and the huge amount of megapixels this means that the pixels are quite small…is this not a bad idea regarding noise in low light conditions? Also, does the 808 give any improvement in video stabilization technology and does this supports long exposures, making it suitable, for instance, for astro timelapsing?
(考慮到傳感器的尺寸跟巨大數量的像素, 這意味著單個像素的面積是很小的...難道這對於低光情況下的雜訊是好事嗎?[又來問拍攝影片防抖問題! 記者你要去看醫生了!](808支援長時間曝光嗎, 讓它比方說適合做天文時間推行的紀錄?[這段應該是在問影片濃縮快轉的問題, 就是一般電視上看到的速度很快, 關於某場景在一段時間的經過後, 斗轉星移的那種影片效果])
A: Pixels are 1.4 microns. Oversampling is extremely effective in reducing/eliminating noise depending on the conditions. Re shutter speed, those specs are not yet finalised.
(單個像素的面積為1.4微米. 超取樣在減少/消滅雜訊上是非常有效的, 當然還要看狀況. 快門的連續速度, 還未有最後的規範.)

Q: And regarding exposure, how long it can be? Suitable for astrophotography?
A: Not yet finalised
[記者你真的要掛號了!!! 不過能長時間曝光個人也覺得是必須的功能]

Q: How large is the image sensor?
(傳感器有多大?)
A: 1/1.2″
(1/1.2吋)

Q: Any indications of shot-to-shot times in the various resolutions?
(各種分辨率下拍攝與拍攝之間的間隔時間有一個指標嗎?)
A: Less than a second typically in 5mp mode and around 2-3 seconds in max resolution mode, very similar to the N8 in the case of full resolution.
(在5mp模式下一般是低於1秒, 在最高分辨率模式下則是2-3秒之間, 與N8在全分辨率下的時間相似)

Q: Is it possible to choose the image compression ratio on this device?
A: Yes, two settings
[記者你...病入膏亡了......]

Q: What does Belle feature pack 1 actually bring and will it be available on other phones?
(Belle FP1實際上帶來了什麼, 會在其他手機上出現嗎?)
A: Some phones, but exact details have not yet been announced. Main improvements are new web browser, secure NFC, Dolby surround sound playback over normal headphones, updated widgets and a number of usability refinements, plus of course all new gallery and camera including integration of sharing options.
(一些吧, 不過確切的細節還未公佈. 主要的提升是新的瀏覽器, 安全NFC, 一般耳機上實現杜比環繞音效, 更新小插件以及好些功能的改進, 當然還有全新的圖片瀏覽器以及相機界面包括整合進共享選項.)

Q: Is the camera technology inside expandable? Should we expect for next year 81 or 101 Mpx, more sharpness etc?
(這項相機技術會擴展嗎? 我們應該期待明年81或101mpx, 更棒的銳利度等等?)
A: Sorry, but we can’t comment on future product plans
(不好意思, 我們不能對未來的產品計劃下任何評論.)

Q: Would you call the 808 a “niche phone”? If yes, who is Nokia’s target here? In terms of customer segmentation. How does Nokia describe the “808 user”?
(你會把808稱為"非主流手機"嗎?[niche這詞在這裡能做很多解釋, 邊緣, 市場不大, 最低生態位等等(好諷刺的一個詞=.=)]如果是的話, Nokia的目標會是誰? 在客戶的細分上. Nokia怎麼定義808的用戶?)
A: We see the appeal of capturing incredible photos and videos covering a wide range of users, hence the development of a new camera UI to provide extremely easy video and photo shooting out of the box.
(我們能看見對於拍攝難以置信的照片以及影片的訴求是涵蓋大批用戶的, 於是我們開發了新的能提供極簡易的攝影與攝錄功能的相機界面.[後面這句有點答非所問...不過我覺得前面的回答非常好. 很多人噴子都喜歡抓住808相機這一塊在噴, 說什麼手機是通電話用的, 相機不重要或是要拍照不會買DC/DSLR嗎, 手機拍照堪用就行或是41mpx純屬無稽之談(這句是Olympus說的...)之類的無聊回應. 我想反問這些人的是, 若是手機相機不重要的話, 那為什麼現在幾乎每支不同廠牌/型號的手機都要配上相機? 不重要的話為什麼所有廠商都要花錢投資在這系列的手機? 不重要的話相機這項功能為什麼會排在手機功能排行榜上的前三位?, 不重要的話那你們為什麼又要買有相機的手機? 這不是在自打嘴巴嗎? 呵呵])

Q: Does the 808 have image stabilizer for videos?
A: Yes, sw based.
[......記者你還沒去看醫生喔...-----這邊要提一下, 808的防抖是軟體的而不是硬體]

Q: Is the 808 phone capable of editing .mov content?
A: There is a trimmer included for video editing, which is the most commonly used video editing capability
[我無語了我...]
