Tips before operating
your camera
• You cannot activate the camera while on an
active call or while browsing files in the
media gallery.
• Once the camera is active, the home screen
acts as the viewfinder.
• If you get a “Low memory” error on your
phone’s screen, check your resolution and
quality compression settings. See “Setting up
the camera” on this page.
• If there is no activity within approximately
45 seconds after you turn your camera on,
then the camera quits and returns to the
previous launch point.
• Menu settings and options can only be
accessed when the camera is active.
