Camera and Camcorder Options
Options are represented by icons across both sides of the screen.
Note: The options disappear after a few seconds. Touch the screen to make
them reappear.
Camera / Camcorder Mode: allows you to take a photo in 
various modes. Once you change the mode, the 
corresponding indicator appears at the top left of the 
display. Choose from Camera or Camcorder.
Recording mode: allows you to set the recording mode to 
either: Normal, which is limited only by available space on 
the destination location, or Limit for MMS, which is limited 
by MMS size restrictions. Recording mode is only available 
in Camcorder mode.
Shooting mode: allows you to set the shooting mode. 
Options are:
•
Single shot: takes a single photo and view it before 
returning to the shooting mode.
•
Continuous: takes a succession of consecutive photos 
by pressing and holding the Camera key.
•
Panorama: takes a landscape photo by taking an 
initial photo and then adding additional images to 
itself. The guide box lets you view the area where the 
second part of the panoramic picture should fall 
within.
•
Smile shot: the camera focuses on the face of your 
subject. Once the camera detects the person’s smile, 
it takes the picture.
•
Beauty: adjusts the contrast to smooth facial features.
•
Vintage: gives your photo a vintage look (hazy around 
the edges). Touch the icon in the lower left corner of 
the display screen to choose a Normal, Warm, Cool, or 
Mono effect.
•
Add me: combines people with existing background. 
Touch the screen to pick which side of the screen to 
focus on. Press the camera key. Focus on a 
background and press the camera key a second time.
•
Action shot: detects action and creates a panorama of 
the moving object. 
•
Cartoon: gives your photo a cartoon look.
