Pic Nokia continues its efforts to
defuse the Twitterstorm around its "fake" mobile phone camera ad. The
handset maker had uploaded a YouTube video to illustrate the new image
stabilisation technology in its Lumia 920, which was announced last
week - but the advert
was a simulation of the tech using a professional camera rig, and this was not disclosed to anyone watching.
Cue angry bloggers and tweets.
Nokia has since added a disclaimer to the video. We've dramatically
illustrated the episode with our own simulation of Nokia's simulation:

We've added a filter to emphasise just how awful this story is
According to
Bloomberg,
Nokia has asked its "independent ethics officer" to review the saga and
ask how a disclaimer was omitted from the YouTube video.
Your reporter tried the Lumia 920, featuring the floating lens, at
first hand in New York last week, and it works extremely well - almost
as well as the simulation. Which makes the simulation a real
head-scratcher. Why bother mocking it up when the real thing is so
impressive?
