With the integrated VGA camera with
dual front design, the user can take
pictures and video clips and store
them in the phone memory. The user
can send them as an attachment in an e-mail or a
picture message. The picture can also be sent via
infrared or cable.
Using the camera or video
When the dedicated camera button is pressed
(long press), camera or video is started, depending
on what was last used.
The camera or video can also be started via the
Camera menu.
A viewfinder is presented in the display and
QuickShare offers a minimal number of steps that
take you to the send options as follows:
3 steps for camera: start, capture and send.
3 steps for video: start, capture and send.

More VGA camera features
The camera has full automatic exposure control
that selects the optimal exposure time needed to
get an excellent picture. When operating the
viewfinder, the camera adjusts the exposure time.
The lighting conditions found indoors and outdoors
may differ significantly. This may give rise to false
colours in photographs. To compensate for this,
the VGA camera is equipped with automatic white
balance. This feature automatically adjusts for
different lighting environments in order to produce
images with correct colours under most conditions.
