Camera
Nokia put a 20 megapixel PureView camera with optical image stabilization and Zeiss hardware in the Lumia 930. As a user of a Nokia with Windows Phone, you have two camera applications at your disposal as standard; one from Windows Phone and one from Nokia. As you might expect, the Nokia camera itself is a bit more extensive in terms of functionality. But also in terms of performance, it has an advantage.
The camera can store high (16 MP) and low (5 MP) resolution copies of photos for later editing. If you want to use 19 megapixels, you need to change the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. There is even the option to save photos in RAW format (DNG).
In the settings, in addition to white balance, ISO and brightness, focus and shutter speed can also be adjusted. In addition, you can use this camera to capture so-called live images. This means that your pictures are not static but can move for a short time. These files are saved as MP4 and sharing them is a bit tricky.
The camera does not have an HDR mode but delivers very nice images under almost all circumstances. Colors and details look very neat. Focusing also works fast and well, partly thanks to the special camera button. Only when there are large differences between light and dark areas, the light part is slightly overexposed.

The four microphones that the Lumia 930 is equipped with and Nokia Rich Recording provide videos with the most realistic sound, and Nokia Creative Studio allows you to edit the images extensively. Nokia Storyteller can automatically compile a selection of your footage into interactive presentations. Similar to what we already know from Zoe on the HTC One.
