Multimedia, GPS
The camera is a 2 megapixel one with fixed focus; it has macro mode, which can be activated from the software. It’s a great thing that the camera’s software is a completely new one; at last we have to do with a usable interface. I am happy, because I didn’t really like the old one, it looked like the nightmare of a mad painter. In this new software we can tamper with white balance, JPEG compression, there is a Lens menu with two possible settings (Internal and External), there is a self timer, image sequencer (up to 9 images), exposure correction (+/- 2 EV) and manual brightness and contrast setup. It’s nice that macro mode is called Flower mode.
Unfortunately the software has its downsides too, and it has a very serious one. The automatism is no friend (to say the least) of white balance, as it recognizes bright sunlight as fluorescent lighting, which results in photos with a blueish shade, like the first one below. If we set daylight mode manually, then the situation improves a bit, but we’ll still get pictures with interesting colors; I can’t even really decide that which title would describe better the atmosphere of the golden pictures better: “Sandstorm in the Namibian desert” or “Hungary, the place where angels live”. Picture quality is worthless anyway; noise filtering is so powerful that all details are lost, and the resulting files are still around 1.5 MB in size, which is unjustified.

The media player application is Windows Media Player, I had written about its deficiencies many times, so I won’t do it again. This gap can be filled in easily, however, by installing MortPlayer, so this is no problem, but the fact that there is no standard jack output, so we can only use the supplied headset. This, however, is a Sennheiser MX400 (or at least it looks like one), equipped with a microphone and a record button, and it has superb sound quality. The built-in handsfree also has a surprisingly good quality, which is indeed great. If we add the built-in FM tuner, then we can say that M810 is the best musical gloffish so far.
The built-in GPS receiver is a SiRF-Star III, which includes SiRF InstantFix technology. This is used to provide faster positioning. I have tried navigation with iGO 2006 SE, and I had no problems.
