Nokia N86 is the most advanced mobile phone camera ever. It comes with a powerful combination of wide-angle Carl Zeiss optics and an 8 megapixel sensor, resulting in performance comparable to a stand alone digital camera. The Nokia N86 8MP is designed to excel in both bright and low light conditions; and it’s optimized for both video and still imaging. Its high-speed connectivity ensures easy and convenient sharing.

“People demand mobile cameras that take excellent pictures in all light conditions,” says Imran Khalid Mahmood, Country General Manager, and Nokia Pakistan. “That’s why the aperture of the Nokia N86 8MP is comparable to that of a high-quality, stand-alone digital camera. Whether it’s capturing majestic hieghts of Himalayas or the panoramic beauty of a sunset at Clifton beach, the Nokia N86 8MP will take brilliantly clear, wide-angle images that are instantly geo-tagged to be uploaded onto sites like Ovi Share or Flickr.”

This includes a wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar lens for capturing more of a beautiful scene in pictures, shorter latencies and variable aperture for super sharp photos in challenging bright and low light conditions. The fast mechanical shutter ensures pictures with less motion blur while the dual LED camera flash is powerful enough for excellent photography and video capture.
“When it comes to taking the best digital photos, it’s the quality of the lens and the sensor that count, not just the quantity of pixels. The Nokia N86 8MP is the first mobile device with variable aperture, adding to the Carl Zeiss Tessar lens for excellent results. It has never been easier to capture special moments in such a great quality,” says Helmut Heier of Carl Zeiss.
