a call to all n95 owners out there ... anyone know if you can do long exposures on this camera - it seems to offer everything else such appeture, white balance etc ..

cheers,

No, and you can't alter the appeture either.

To enable the camera to reproduce colors and lighting
more accurately, or to add effects to your pictures or
videos, use the scroll key to scroll through the active
toolbar, and select from the following options:
White balance—Select the current lighting condition
from the list. This allows the camera to reproduce colors
more accurately.
Exposure compensation (images only)—Adjust the
exposure time of the camera.
Flash—Select the desired flash mode. See ‘Flash’, p. 49.
Colour tone—Select a color effect from the list.
Light sensitivity (images only)—Select the light sensitivity
of the camera. The darker the environment, the higher the
light sensitivity should be.
The screen display changes to match any settings you
make, so that you see how the change affects the pictures
or videos.
The available settings vary depending on the selected
camera.
The setup settings are camera specific; if you change the
settings in the secondary camera, the settings in the main
camera do not change. The setup settings do, however,
transfer between the image and video modes. The setup
settings return to the default settings when you close the
camera.
If you select a new scene, the color and lighting settings
are replaced by the selected scene. See ‘Scenes’, p. 50. You
can change the setup settings after selecting a scene if
needed.

it does say you can use Exposure compensation to adjust the
exposure time of the camera, but i dont think thats really going to do what you want. I had an N95 but sold it, i thought it was pants IMO.

I have an N95, got it on contract and insisted on a phone that would take Tom Tom and while the camera was not the first thing on the list the chance of having a 5mp camera with me all the time was to good to miss.

Anyway -- Its Naf !

At least mine is on normal mode, had some quite good (for cameraphone) macro shots but it just will not focus on anything in the standard setting.

Does anyone know how to get it right ? Or are they all bad ?
