Taking photos and recording videos
Your phone camera is equipped with the highly sensitive Exmor R sensor, which
helps you capture sharp photos and videos even in low lighting conditions. With your
phone camera, you can take regular 2D photos or you can shoot 3D photos in 3D
Sweep Panorama™ mode. Send your photos and videos to friends as multimedia
messages, or upload them to a web service. Your phone also has a front camera,
which is useful for self-portraits.
