Nokia Lumia 525 - 5 MP Camera Review with Samples

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is ranjit and i have the nokia lumia 525 with me and this one has a 5 megapixel rear facing camera but it does not have any led flash also this 525 does not have any front facing camera though it's just a 5 megapixel camera it does a decent job and i've taken a lot of pictures and even videos it can shoot videos up to 720p i'll show you all that a bit later but first let me show you the camera interface you can just hit this dedicated camera button and the camera should fire in a couple of seconds and as you can see i'll just take some snaps you just tap into an area like this and it takes about a second or two to focus and then it'll automatically take a shot let me take one more shot and as you can see uh we'll preview that a bit later let me show you the settings that are offered and as you can see in video settings we can set the scenes again i did all my testing with auto scenes we have these close up and all these things i also also can be adjusted if you like up to 800 is supported and you can also adjust the exposure value if you require white balance and the aspect ratio so these are some of the settings let me go back and let me show you the video settings also again white balance can be adjusted and it does auto focusing by default and i would say it does autofocusing actually very fast you'll see that in the video clip that i show you again we can set the video to 750p or wvga so let me show you some of the sample shots that we took with this lumia 525 and let's open up this photo and camera roll and these are all the shots that i've taken in varying light conditions so that you can get an idea let me also show you the shots that we took just now for example these are the shots that we took just now and as you can see this was in completely artificial light then also the camera does a decent job yes there is a little bit of noise but again it does not have a flash and i would say indoors also in artificial light it did a very decent job as you can see from the pictures this isn't completely artificial light and it did a pretty decent job so let me show you all these uh snaps actually in full screen mode so that you can get a better idea regarding the camera performance these pictures were taken with the lumia 525 on a bright sunny day and as you can see outdoors in natural lighting the pictures come out to be really good the colors are also actually a bit natural and here are some more pictures that i took with the lumia 525 i'm recording this video with this nokia lumia 525 outdoors it's a bright sunny day and i'm on my roof garden and the audio also is being recorded by the internal microphone of this lumia 525 and let me move to a shadowed area now and this is a shadowed area and i'll just quickly move to a sunny area now and this is a sunny area let me pan back to a shadowed area and this is kind of semi shadowed area and i'm just gonna walk back now slowly panning i'm gonna walk normally it's a very bright day today so this should give you an idea about the video recording capabilities of this nokia lumia 525 outdoors on a very bright sunny day and these pictures were shot in semi indoor conditions and here i noticed in some of the pictures that the colors were a little bit bland to my liking and now these pictures were shot in completely artificial light in my office and i would say it does actually a pretty good job in artificial light but sometimes in close-up shots you can see a lot of noise and in close-up shots the details are not that sharp we are recording this video with the lumia 525 in completely artificial light in the office and as you can see i can move closer to the objects and actually uh it's always in focus as you can see no issues regarding focusing and we are recording at the highest setting that this 720p so this gives you an idea about the video recording of lumia 525 indoors in artificial light so what do i feel about the camera performance of this nokia lumia 525 uh the 5 megapixel rear facing camera is actually pretty good and you have see as we have seen outdoors also it does a very good job it does not over emphasize and i would say the pictures come out close to reality yes sometimes i didn't notice that the saturation was a little bit less but overall i would say it does a very good job also indoors it impressed me a little bit in artificial light it did actually a pretty good job but again as it does not have any led flash in very low lighting conditions it is simply not going to do the job again i would say considering the price point of this phone and comparing it with some of the other 5 megapixel cameras for example the moto g etc and even samsung android phones that come with 5 megapixel camera i would say the 5 megapixel camera on this nokia lumia 525 is very good now coming to the downers as it does not have a led flash in very low lighting conditions it is a bit crippled but obviously considering the price to performance ratio i would say the camera on this lumia 525 gets a thumbs up i'll also be doing a full in-depth review for this nokia lumia 525 very soon so if you aren't
