With the camera you can take pictures of people or events while on the move. The pictures
are automatically saved in the Images application, where you can rename them and
organise them in folders. You can also send photos to your friends in a multimedia
message, as an e-mail attachment, or via a Bluetooth or infrared connection. The camera
produces JPEG pictures.
Options before taking a
picture: Capture, Go to
Images, Settings, and Exit.
Glossary: JPEG is a standardised image compression format. JPEG files can be
viewed with the most common image viewers, image editors, and Internet browsers.
You can recognise these files by their JPG extension.

many images, depending on the selected image quality, fit in the memory of your
phone. The lens range is from 30 centimetres to infinity. If you take a picture and the
distance to the subject is closer than 30 centimetres it may affect the sharpness of your
