Nokia has been forced to apologize after showing camera shots and video that had not been taken on its new Lumia phones as marketing material suggested, the Financial Times reports. The photos and video were released at the New York launch of the new Nokia Windows 8 smartphones. The flagship Nokia 920 presented at the event features the company's PureView technology for advanced photos and video. Nokia said the first apology came because a promotional video "failed to make clear that it was a simulation and not shot using the new PureView camera on the Nokia Lumia 920. This video was produced while the Nokia Lumia 920 was in early prototype". It added at the weekend: "Some further misunderstanding has arisen about still photographs taken at night in the street in Helsinki. We want to be very clear that these still images were taken from the same video ... [which] is a representation of the benefits of optical image stabilisation only and our apology was for using any part of the video without a clear disclaimer." Nokia tried to repair the damage by releasing some images taken with the prototype camera and allowing the blog that helped expose the problems, The Verge, to test some of the new technology on the Lumia 920.
