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.
• When you are viewing images, they are scaled to fit the display, which has 176x208
pixels. This means that Standard and Night mode pictures will appear more detailed
when viewed on a higher resolution screen, for example, a computer or when zoomed
in Images.
Images and memory consumption
Your phone has 4 Mb (megabytes) of free memory for images, contact information,
calendar, messages, and so on. Portrait images (always taken in High quality) are so small
that they take up very little memory. Images taken using the High quality setting and those
taken in Night mode take up the most memory.
If 1 Mb of memory is used for images only, it would fit approximately 40 Normal quality
images taken in Standard mode. In the table below, you can see approximately how many
images would fit in 1 Mb of memory.
