Nokia apologises for misleading Lumia video
The handset maker has apologised for failing to specify that a promotional video for the new Lumia 920 was shot with a professional camera, not the phone itself.
Eagle-eyed tech bloggers were the first to notice that the video showed a reflection of a cameraman filming from a moving van.
Nokia spokesperson Heidi Lemmetyinen issued an official apology, saying the company was sorry for any confusion.
“Of course, hindsight is 20/20, but we should have posted a disclaimer stating this was a representation of OIS only. This was not shot with a Lumia 920,” she said in a Nokia blog post.
The video aimed to showcase the optical image stabilisation feature of the new flagship phone.
