Camera
This section explains how to use the 2.0 megapixel camera built in to your
phone. You can take photographs in JPEG format and shoot videos.
Using the Camera
Taking pictures with your device’s built-in camera is as simple as choosing
a subject, pointing the camera, then pressing the camera key.
1. In Idle mode, press the Camera key
to activate the camera.
2. If the camera is in camcorder mode, press to switch to camera
mode.
3. Using the phone’s main display screen as a viewfinder, adjust the
image by aiming the camera at the subject. Onscreen icons let you
access various camera options (see “Camera and Camcorder Options”
on page 112).
4. Press the Camera key until the shutter sounds. The picture is displayed
on the screen (if Instant Review is turned on) and automatically stored
in the designated storage location (see “Camera and Camcorder
Options” on page 112).
While viewing a picture, you can use the Volume keys to zoom in up to
10x and zoom out.
Note: The number of pictures remaining on the selected media appears in the upper-right of the
screen. This is an approximate number of total pictures that can be taken at the current image
size.
5. Press to return to the viewfinder.
Camera and Camcorder Options
