Diamond Camera Specifications

[tsioubliou]

hello,
I own an HTC Touch Diamond and I need some technical information about the device. Specifically, I need the extended specifications for the main camera. And particularly the focal length of the lens.

I have searched the official User Manual and the web, but no analytical information was found. The only source that proved a bit helpful was the Service Manual that was found through the relevant thread of xda-developers. The problem is that in this document, more than one manufacturers are listed for that component.

Can you please provide the technical characteristics for the camera, or a link to a manufacturer and model no.
I am a research student and this information is vital for the progress of my project.

Any help or directions will be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Turn it over and read the text on the bottom!

hello,
thanks but the only information that is provided on the device is the Aperture (F2.8), the resolution (3.2 MP) and Auto-Focus. I am looking for the Focal length of the lens or some relevant info that will enable me to accurately calculate it.

Also, I believe the manufacturer and model will prove useful for further investigation.

Many thanks

I'm sorry, but F is for Focal lenght!

hello,
I wish you were right as you would save me from a lot of trouble, but generaly this structure symbolises the Aperture. If you are interested have a look at:

http://www.photoaxe.com/understanding-the-lens-focal-length-and-aperture/ or http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/camera-lenses.htm

Do you believe that HTC may have used this conversion (F2.8) to describe the Focal Length, without adding the appropriate measuring unit (mm)?

Many thanks

Uhm....
I think f is for aperture
not focal length
It's totally different

Focal length like 50mm, 28mm, .....
always with mm at the back

Actually, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

I think you will find that the F-stop (F number 2.8) is the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens and not the focal lenght itself.

I know that the Touch Pro has the F2.8 on the case but believe the Diamond does not, correct me if wrong, does this mean that the Touch Pro camera is a little better?

A F2.8 is a pretty impressive apeture for a phone camera and I have found it to perform a little better than other 3.2 MP phone camera.

The US Diamond does have "F2.8 Autofocus..." printed on the back. I would agree that is likely an f/2.8 aperture.

Can't you just take a pic of a ruler/yardstick, etc at a set distance and calculate the effective focal length? http://www.giangrandi.ch/optics/lenses/focalcalc.html

I haven't used the camera much and I'm not too impressed. Outdoor daylight shots did, however, look pretty good and took enlargement really well. I apperently haven't matched up the White Balance and Brightness settings for very good indoor pics yet. Low light is just ok, despite my comment on the aperture.
