Quality: - Indicated by stars in the corner of the viewfinder.
The better the video quality, the more memory the picture
consumes.
Default video name: - Set a name for the video taken. By
default, the video is named ‘newvideo’. For example, if you
set ‘Beach’ as the default name, the following videos are
named ‘Beach(01)’, ‘Beach(02)’, and so on, until you
change the setting again.
Tips on taking good photographs
Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your
smartphone’s camera.
Picture quality
Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has
three picture quality modes (Basic, Normal, and High).
Use the High setting to make sure that the camera
produces the best picture quality available. Note however,
that better picture quality requires more storage space. For
MMS and e-mail attachments it may be necessary to use
Normal, or Basic setting. You can define the quality in Tools
> Settings... and the quality level is indicated in the top
right hand corner of the viewfinder.
Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other pictures
with people, avoid having your subject in front of a
cluttered, complex background that may distract
attention from the subject. Move the camera, or the
subject, when these conditions cannot be met.
Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, you can add
depth to your pictures by placing objects into the
foreground. Note however, that if the foreground object is
too close to camera, it may be blurred.
Lighting conditions
Changing the source, amount and direction of light can
change photographs dramatically. Here are some typical
lighting conditions:
• Light source behind the subject. Try to avoid placing
your subject in front of a strong light source. If the
light source is behind the subject or visible in the
display, the resulting picture may have weak contrast,
may be too dark, and may contain unwanted light
effects.
• Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives dramatic effect
but may be too harsh resulting in too much contrast.
