Guest I600abc Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) When i wanted to buy the I600, i liked all the features except the camera, but then i saw on www.mea.samsungmobile.com that the camera had autofocus, i thought that atleast its not that bad... when i got the phone, i didnt know how to turn it on, so i ask, does it have autofocus?

Guest orcinus Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 All the specs say it does, but i don't think so. Or at least, i can't see ANY movement at all in the lens, nor hear anything when releasing the shutter. And there's practically no delay at all after pressing the button, so i really can't see *when* it would do the auto-focusing... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest karbunkle Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 when i got the phone, i didnt know how to turn it on, so i ask, does it have autofocus? The lens is pretty much wide-angle so it actually doesn't require autofocus, as everything from 3ft/1mtr will be fine anyway; a consequence of the type of lens used. In marketing speak, it's therefore "auto-focus". I have the i600 and its pictures are certainly useable but not brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest orcinus Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 In marketing speak, it's therefore "auto-focus". That's called "fixed-focus" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest I600abc Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Then isnt it wrong for then to say that its auto-focus and trick people into buying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest orcinus Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) Yes it is. The same thing was happening a long time ago with compact film (still) cameras. They would advertise them as "auto-focus" when, in reality, they had el cheapo "fixed-focus" lens. Edited July 29, 2007 by orcinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
