Camera mode affects image size and orientation
Tip! Try out the
different Camera modes to
see how they affect the
picture taken.
With the different Camera modes, you can affect the size and orientation of the picture
to be taken. See Fig. 2
, p. 55. When you are taking a picture, press or to change
between the different modes. Choose:
• Standard when you want to take normal landscape pictures,
• Portrait when you want to take a smaller icon-sized, vertical picture, which can be
added to a contact card, or
• Night when the lighting is dim and the Camera needs a longer exposure time for the
picture to be of good quality. Note that, in dim conditions, any movement while
taking a picture may cause it to get blurred. The image size and orientation is the
same for Standard and Night.
Glossary:
Resolution - A measure for
the sharpness and clarity
of an image. Resolution
refers to the number of
dots (pixels) in an image or
a display. The more pixels
there are, the more
detailed the picture is.
Resolution is usually
measured in pixels, for
example, 640x480=300
kilopixels (kpix)=0.3
megapixels (Mpix).
Fig. 2 Standard, Portrait, and Night modes
• When you are taking a picture in Standard or Night mode, the viewfinder resolution
is 160x120 pixels and 80x96 for Portrait mode.
• The images taken in Standard or Night mode are saved in 640x480 pixel (VGA) format
and those taken in Portrait mode are saved in 80x96 pixel format.
