the Nokia Pureview 9 has a brilliant camera system, albeit one that demands attention to get the most from it, though it pulls off this trick with no more effort than touching a screen

shooting with DOF selected automatically yields superb, digitally near perfect, isolation of subject with virtually no effort & the ability to vary the ROI & degree of isolation post hoc

I took this in a dark restaurant, picking up a Zydeco Diner takeout (excellent Houston cajun in downtown) with the cashier/major domo posing, intended to add as an avatar for my phone

I played with the DOF on this & nothing else, except for Auto correcting

I had subject isolation up to near max & chose his face as ROI

an 8 MB version can be seen at the Original size option on my pbase site here Link to larger version, shooting information & many other samples

amazing times we are in
