• CAMERA
You can use the camera to take pictures and record videos while
on the move. The images are automatically saved in Gallery, where
you can rename them and organize them in folders. You can also
send images and video recordings in a multimedia message, as an e-mail attachment,
or by infrared or Bluetooth connection. The camera produces JPEG images, and
video clips are recorded in the 3GPP file format with the .3gp file extension.
Take pictures
1 Press Camera in the standby mode, or select Menu > Camera, and scroll left
to make sure you are on the Image tab.
The camera opens, and you can see the viewfinder
and the cropping lines, which show you the
image area to be captured. You can also see the
image counter, which shows you how many
images, depending on the selected picture
quality, fit in the memory of your phone or
memory card, if you use one.
Options before taking a picture are Capture,
New, Activate night mode, Self-timer, Go to
Gallery, Settings, Help, and Exit.
2 Scroll up to zoom in on your subject before
taking the picture; scroll down to zoom
out again.
The zoom indicator to the right of the display shows the zoom level.
3 To take a picture, press the joystick.
Do not move the phone before the camera application starts to save the
image. The image is saved automatically in Gallery. See "Gallery" on page 39.
The resolution of a zoomed picture is lower than that of a non-zoomed picture, but
the image remains the same size. You may notice the difference in image quality if
viewed on a PC, for example. If camera images look smudgy, check that the camera
lens protection window is clean. See "Care and maintenance" on page 109.
The camera goes into battery saving mode if there have been no key presses within
a minute. To continue taking pictures, press the joystick.
