Nokia N82 Black camera in action at KC Grill, Islamabad – Sample Pictures

Went for lunch to KC Grill restaurant in Islamabad, Pakistan. The presentation was good and the food was okay.

I took a couple of pics of the food, etc with my Nokia N82 Black, which has a 5 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens & Xenon Flash. All of the pictures were taken using Auto Scene Modes, which turned out quite nice.

I loved how the Auto White Balance worked well. Even my Sony digicam needs manual adjustment to get it right the first time. Noise levels in ISO 800 pics arn’t too bad. Putting the picture through “Neat Image” software will easily fix the noise levels.

The N82 cannot replace my Digital SLR, but has happily managed to take over my Point-n-Shoot Sony cam

Cheese [mustard dip] Fondue… As I’ve had the opportunity of eating (Halal) Cheese Fondue numerous times when I was living in Switzerland, I was expecting a pot of hot melted cheese with the works when I ordered this, but much to my dismay, KC Grill’s Fondue presentation had no Fondue pot, it didn’t look or smell like Fondue and certainly didn’t taste like it either It was more like a nice “Mustard Cheese Dip with Bread & Sautéed vegetables”

Scene Mode: Close-Up
ISO: 100
F-Number: 2.8

Flash: Flash Fired [Auto]

The Auto Close-Up mode did its job well, and the Menu pic turned out good.

KC Grill restaurant, Islamabad – Inside view – It was a little dark inside the restaurant so I used the Auto Night Mode which raised the ISO to 800 & caused some Noise in the pictures
