•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 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 Select 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 or
Deact. 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. 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.
3 To take a picture, press the Scroll key.
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 48.
To take a photo immediately after another, select Options > Settings >
Image > Show captured image, then select No. The photos do not remain
on the display after being taken, are saved in the Gallery, and the camera is
ready for use again.
If camera images look smudgy, check that the camera lens protection window
is clean. See "Care and maintenance" on page 126.
The camera goes into battery saving mode if there have been no key presses
within a minute. To continue taking pictures, press the Scroll key.
