Actually both terms are correct. F-stop is the unit to measure apperture but it shouldn't have anything to do with low light conditions. It's to determine depth of field. The smaller the F-stop value is usually the better especially for macro shots (sharper/clearer subject, more blurry background).
@tvfun
Flash was set for auto on all low light shots. Don't attempt to shoot without flash in these conditions because it'll cause your pics to be riddled with noise (exact opposite of C902/W902 algorithm which would trigger extreme noise suppression)
@nfts-pstrfs
I have your firmware as well
Well, some may dub W995 as the worst 8mp phone but judging from some of the finer examples in this thread, it sure doesn't look like it

Indeed! Btw you are right you can see how blurry the background is in some of my macro photos. I am impressed

@Mode: Thanks!, so, what does F: 1:3.2 and F: 1:2.8 means?.... i thought that 1:2.8 let more light enter, so low light pictures would come out with less noise...
Sorry for the offtopic,
Does the W995 records in WQVGA or does it records in QVGA only?

What determines how much light comes in are ISO speed and exposure time which is automatic unless you use one of the Scenes in the menu which has predetermined settings to suit certain conditions/ambience. F-stop is exactly what I explained earlier
And yes it records in WQVGA. I used to loathe SE for not providing their consumers with VGA recording, but since WQVGA is much better than QVGA and much smaller in size than VGA I guess I have the best of both worlds (I have only 1-2GB free as it is out of my my 16GB M2 so space really matters to me).

@Mode: Nice!!, those look quite well for the environment they where taken on... Which settings are you using?... all auto or twilight landscape (or maybe some manual combination)?

Why people never complaint about N86 sucks music quality but always blame
995 for sucks 8mp snapper. I'm OK if
995 dub as sucks snapper because mainly my target for music solution and cam is anyway fine for me.

I used twilight landscape all the way and only tweaked the exposure bias, mostly used ev -1.0 and -1.7. One of the pictures (the one with the pool and trees) I set it to ev 2.0 and it was brighter than the actual scenery and at the same time the noise was still under control. I have to say twilight landscape is a killer feature of this phone (the same function for W902 was useless) whereby it allows users to capture twlighlight sceneries with accurate colour reproduction
@brazzuka
Thanks, coming from you I'm honoured. I think W995 is not the worst 8mp camera, it's just the trickiest to handle. Once you get the hang of it, you can produce wonders with it
@Mano82
Now those are some quality crisp shots mate, damn. Goes to show once you know your phone, it'll kick arse. The grass looks excellent for full auto. I especially love the last pic
More low light stuff peeps
