Van Gogh and ISO 800 light sensitivity

November 16th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK
 

Another revolutionary aspect of the Viewty is the possible ISO light sensitivity setting of 800. Whilst normal digital cameras regularly have an ISO 800 setting (and above) it is unusual for a camera phone to have such a high setting. Such a (relatively) high rating will allow you take better pictures in darkened conditions and addresses a common complaint with camera phones generally – that they don’t work well in low light. The Viewty also includes Smart Light technology ensuring better and brighter images indoors and at night.

The fun video shows the relative difference in light sensitivity between ISO settings by recreating Van Gogh’s Starry Starry Night with 30,000 post-it notes. Keep your eye on the bottom right hand corner to see the ISO setting increase along with the light.

Comparisons with a standard digital camera have been excellent, Dial-a-Phone is certainly impressed with the Viewty’s capabilities, and you can see the results of our own low light test here.

    thats amazing!

    however, after the initial amazement has worn off, skepticism has set in. maybe they had covered the painting with post-its and just pulled them off?
