The haze is in fact a double reflection. The flash reflects from the bezel/slider, but a large part of that comes back at a shallow angle bouncing off from the optics surface like a pebble on water. If you have dirt/grease/etc on it, however, it can reflect it straight onto the sensor - hello haze.
taken on the n900 with grubby fingers all over the glass from the kids there.
they hardly can be considered bad by any means. they were taken in bad, low light conditions in some cases and by a non-professional photographer, with a cellular phone/MID.
not sure what so many people are complaining about.
the colors pop. and are seperated well, with a broad range of colors being displayed correctly.
So I manages to reproduce the silver/white haze problem which is probably because of silver bezel around the camera.
NOTE: I have used marker to color BLUE bezel to black. So this is not about Blue haze problem.
Ingredients:
- 5 m x 6m room where is no light source
- One door open to room with lights on.
- Target on floor about 3 m from door and 2 m sideways to door
- As seen in picture quite dark colors on scene.
- Target about 1,5 m away and my N900 about 1,5 m high in angle about 40-45. Door is about 20:00 clock from me.
