No one takes ads at face value, it is widely agreed that most ads are an exaggeration of the professed qualities of the service or product. But the company's image can take a beating when it becomes public knowledge. Case in point, Nokia. The new Lumia 920 is supposed to showcase a camera feature that allows the user to take great videos even while moving, using a technology called Image Stabilisation. But the ad catches them using a proper camera and lighting equipment to capture the shots. The story broke out on the Verge and was later picked up by the BBC. Just what a struggling phone-maker needs, bad publicity.
