1.3 Megapixel camera
With the integrated 1.3 Megapixel camera with dig-
ital zoom, the user can take pictures and video
clips and save them in the phone memory. The user
can send them as an attachment in an email or via
MMS. The pictures or video clips can also be sent
via Bluetooth, infrared or cable.
A large 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.
Using the camera or video
The camera and video is started via the active lens
cover, via the camera button or via the phone menu
system.
Shoot modes
There is a number of different shoot modes for dif-
ferent user scenarios:
Frames
A shoot mode that lets you apply funny pre-drawn
picture frames to your images.
Panorama pictures
The camera can create panorama pictures by
stitching together several different pictures into one
large picture. This is done with the help of a unique
image processing technique.
This feature is very user friendly. The user simply
takes a picture and then moves the camera slightly
sideways and then takes a new picture. This can be
repeated several times until the user selects to
save the panorama where all the different pictures
are stitched together.
Burst mode
A useful function when taking photos of objects
that move quickly in the scene: it rapidly takes 4
pictures in a row automatically.
Image formats
The camera is able to take pictures in the following
resolutions:
• Small - QQVGA (160x120 pixels)
• Medium - VGA (640x480 pixels)
• Large - 1.3 Megapixel (1280x1024 pixels)
Megapixel pictures
Megapixel pictures can be used when a larger
viewing area is required, for example, when
uploading a picture to a computer.
Video format
Video clips can be recorded, played and sent using
the following codec:
• 3GPP (H.263 and AMR)
More camera features
The camera has full automatic exposure control
that selects the optimal exposure time needed to
get an excellent picture. When operating the view-
finder, 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 Megapixel camera is equipped with automatic
white balance. This feature automatically adjusts
for different lighting environments in order to pro-
duce images with correct colours under most con-
ditions.
The camera also has a high quality light to
improve taking pictures in darker environments.
