Nokia Lumia 920 footage during live concert captures amazing video and audio

While we've shot video on the Nokia Lumia 920 a few times under somewhat ideal conditions e.thousand. quiet, well lit, at that place's a proficient argument to be made that we haven't seen besides many "real world" examples.

From our Lumia 920 forums, fellow member 'mercilesskiller' posted this YouTube video clip of a Seether concert at the Manchester Academy 2, Manchester UK. While the prune is only 58 seconds long and shot in 720P (the Lumia 920 can be bumped to 1080P), the result is quite stunning...

For one, the image quality is near perfect with very well balanced light. Plain optical image stabilization (OIS) is playing a big part in keeping things non-shaky. Simply perchance the biggest surprise was the audio quality. Anyone who has ever attempted to record audio at a concert knows how difficult it can be, with the virtually common result beingness baloney from the extremely high volume. Yet the Lumia 920 handles it nigh flawlessly. We're seriously impressed with the audio fidelity here as the song is articulate and distortion complimentary. Truly remarkable stuff.

That great audio is nigh probable due to the reported inclusion of 3 high quality Rich Recording microphones. Every bit we wrote before on the emerging audio engineering science:

"The 'High Aamplitude Sound Capture' (or HAAC for short) microphones are able to record a broader range of frequencies than standard microphones. HAAC microphones achieve 140 dB, which is a significant increase against traditional microphones. This leads to clearer audio being recorded with less baloney."

Indeed, that is exactly what this sounds like.

Pro-tip: If there was 1 area that could be improved it would exist to plow off continuous car-focus (CAF) in the Video settings, as pointed out in comments. The CAF is a very useful tool but it can be distracting likewise, such as in the case where the camera is constantly hunting to notice the right balance. Simply since this is a stage set quite far back, the camera could ideally focus in one case and be okay, which is why disabling CAF in this environment could really better the video feel.

Take you recorded some outstanding video with the Lumia 920? Or fifty-fifty just your Windows Telephone? Make sure y'all share with others in the forums and get your credit.
