Ari Partinen and Marko Saari planned the fashion studio photo shoot. The duo was able to control elements such as lighting, backgrounds and more, while utilizing the Lumia 1020's manual settings.
"The flash on the Lumia 1020 has two short pulses. So we used a small external flash as a medium to disable the first pre-flash pulse coming from the Lumia 1020, and then fired the main external flashes only on the second pulse," said Partinen, via Nokia Conversations. "This made sure the main flashes were synchronized perfectly with the moment we pressed the shutter key on the Lumia 1020."
The video comes as the Lumia 1020 was confirmed to debut in India. As Latinos Post reported, Nokia India confirmed the Lumia 1020 be released in the country on Oct. 11, however, pricings were not disclosed.
