The Nokia N86 finally hits the v20.115 firmware version with tons of camera improvements, such as the face detection feature (The N86 is actually the first Nokia phone to get the face detection). You can download the new firmware from Nokia Software Updater and don’t forget to backup your important data before updating to the new firmware just in case something happens.
Changelog after the break..
v20.115 changelog by All About Symbian:
Camera improvements:
Improved still image quality
Improved video quality
Face detection added
Red-eye removal added (Nokia note: “this is image processing which removes the red-eye. You need to be in red-eye reduction flash mode for it to be operational. Other flash modes it is disabled as there is a small shot to shot impact due to the extra image processing.”)
New focus point indication - this shows where in the scene the camera is focussing
Improved Close-up focus. (Nokia note: “As a result you will find in most situations you can focus much closer than before. The new focus point indication will also help in confirming which part of your subject is used for critical focus checking”)
Significant bug fixes to:
Web
Music store client
RealPlayer
Ovi Maps (including faster calibration of the digital compass)
Here and Now
N-Gage client
Nokia Messaging
There’s also now:
Automatic VoIP re-registration.
Ovi Chat shortcut on the homescreen
An new Ovi services splash screen
An Ovi Store client (though it’s buggy, selections from the Options menu are problematic…. – best use the mobile Ovi Store site in the meantime?)
An initial option to check for software updates when a customer first boots up the phone
