wow i should have known to try and press halfway for it to focus... After trying that a few times the photos are now about 100x better! this is good advice for anyone with the n900.

It could be that your camera suffers from a back or front focus problem.

How does one fix that?

I was at Disney World yesterday and took some pictures
using the N900 and day pics look terrific but the night pics
are a little grainy. The video looks better at night compare
to night pictures,

Nokia should communicate this instruction more.
I found out only by accident after having used a N900 prototype for 3 months. Now the photos look good.

Isn't that general camera functioning though?

NO KIDDING!

Oh man, last week I badly needed to take some pictures of a serial number inside a dark server cabinet (don't ask!) because they were not accessible with the naked eye, and the pictures I was getting were AWFUL. Using the half-press method I am getting crystal clear shots every time.

Thank you SO much for clearing up one of the few remaining niggles I had with this otherwise awesome device :D
