I'm about to return my N97 to Nokia, as they haven't been able to fix a flash flooding problem in the camera. Now with the new 2.1 FW I think the software is trying to compensate for the flood light, but the physiological problem is still there, resulting in lost contrast and sharpens, when the flash light bounces between the lenses.

My question: is FW21 trying to address the flash problem or is it just a coincidence the pictures are now slightly better / less horrible?

I'm about to do the same, the few pictures I have taken with the new firmware V2.1 the flash has completely flooded my pictures...Sigh

Previously only 30% of the picture was affected now it's closer to 95%....

Is this primarily a hardware problem, Nokia is trying to fix by software I wonder.

Nokia never releases any detailed changelog for their fw's, so it's hard to know. But the problem is hardwarerelated and I guess it's a big job to cover that flaw.

Your N97 has problems with flash lights on pictures?

Maybe this helps!

No - Flooding is worse than ever, can't take pictures where the flash is needed.

Yet another unusable feature on the device.
