The Nokia N95 is a fantastic phone, launched in early 2007 in the UK, and arguably one of the favourite high-tech phones of the moment. Even with the iPhone not yet available in Europe, the two have duked it out in comparison reviews, where opinions are as varied as the number of features each phone offers.

I own an N95, and I’m very pleased with it, but I have a hopeless love-hate relationship with its camera. My main bugbear: It’s slow! And apparently, I’m far from the only one who finds that problematic. Steve Litchfield at All About Symbian writes about “not missing the moment”, giving a few practical tips to work around the N95’s lagging camera.

The workaround on the N95 if you’re waving it around at a party, for example, is to:

1. leave it in ‘landscape’ mode (in ‘Scene’)
2. turn off display of the captured image (in ‘Settings’)
3. set the image quality to 2 or 3 megapixels (in ‘Settings’)

I’ll remember this next time I try to catch a sneaky snapshot of our two designers monkeying around the office!
