Vlog: Nokia N97 Night Video Test With LEDs

Another reason why I like the Nokia N97 and other Nokia phones with dual-LEDs flash is that I can record videos at night with the flash on. My dedicated HD camcorder Sanyo HD1010 can’t even do that. Check it out while I ramble and walk the streets at night for this video test.

It wasn’t completely dark because the street lamps were on, but the dual-LEDS are bright enough to help light subjects a couple of feet away. The Nokia N97 records video at 640×352 resolution by default for widescreen aspect, but you can change it to 640×480 in the settings for a 4:3 aspect ratio.

By the way, this video was uploaded directly from the Nokia N97 to Youtube using the Built-in Share Online with Pixelpipe.

    is there a setting that I can make my nokia 5800 do this?

    Aren;t u experiencing any of the problems like the backlight doesn;t turn on when the phone is unlocked unless it is relocked then unlocked again. This really is irritating
  • nice video quality in such conditions but volume is quite low....

    the light is nice indeed - but the ultra-low audio volume is not.. ;)
  • You're right. I hope they fix this in a firmware update.
