Samsung Fascinate Picture Thread!

Great stuff guys. I havent used the camera outside yet but I'll throw some shots up here later. Pretty impressive stuff.

I don't suppose there is a thread yet for showcasing the 720p video yet...maybe I should make one...or make I should actually take some video first

Yea, ppl can hate on the iPhone, but I hope Android phones get that feature...I saw the mini conference Apple did and Jobs showed that feature off. My mouth hung open for a few minutes....
 
I have a question about picasa, it appears that i can upload my photos from the phone to picasa, but there is no Picasa app on the droid that would allow me to view the photos i have on my picasa account? Will I have to download the app from the market to do this?

Picasa web albums automatically sync with your phone. You can find them in the "Gallery" app with all you other photos. It works really well.

There are also other 3rd party apps to view Picasa if you want, but I never really had a need.
 
What I've noticed with taking pictures and video with both the Droid X and Samsung Fascinate is that the Droid X is still the king when it comes to snapshots, while the Samsung Fascinate is the king when it comes to video recording... in the Android world.

I need to take more photos and video at night, but I can already conclude those two things. The color reproduction and accuracy of the Droid X is far better than the Fascinate and any other Android phone. I'm going to also try adjusting the exposure down on the Fascinate because there is way too much.

ALL 3 of those are low lighting? Wow.....
Click to expand...

the first pic was taken at (well, see the time haha) and its raining/storming. So the only lighting was the natural light you can slightly see in the pic.

2 are in my bedroom, with one lamp on.

My flash was OFF during all 3 shots.
 
I took this as i walked into lectures today..... No Flash

Jedii. Can you post all of the setting you have on with the watch pics please? By far the best photos posted to date!! VERY crisp and clear!!!!
 
Just took these. In my office, light on. Sitting next to my LCD screen. I say all of this so you all can get an idea of the odd lighting provided. Again, flash is OFF.

Man, those are amazingly sharp for low-light. I'm really impressed. Will have to try these settings...

(nice watches, too, btw)

Also, when i am focusing on something up close like the watch pics, i don't use the "tap to focus" feature. I just hold the camera button until i know that the auto focus is complete. I have noticed that when taking up close shots, using the tap focus seems a bit off. So, i tried my method. Works like a charm.
 
Dumb question, sorry. How do you change the exposure? I've looked and can't find it on the camera settings????

**There are no dumb questions here! Every question is a legit question in my book.**
When in the camera, on the left side you'll see an arrow. Click it and the options menu will open. The 3rd option down is Exposure Value. Its a box with a + and - sign in it. Open it and you'll have the Exposure Value screen. Here are the values you can choose. -2.0, -1.5, -1.0, -0.5, 0.0, +0.5, +1.0, +1.5, +2.0.

Btw, it will grey out if you have Anti-Shake or Auto-Contrast checked.

Here's my watch, photo taken with...

Fascinate:

Cooler colors, less grainy.

Both phones set to 3MP, cropped excess detail out, tap+hold to focus and shoot for the Incredible, and tap+hold+focus+release to focus on the Fascinate.
