Nokia 5530 XpressMusic - Manual (Page 55)

— Adjust the white balance. Select the current lighting conditions. This allows the
camera to reproduce colors more accurately.
— Adjust the exposure compensation (images only). If you are shooting a dark
subject against a very light background, such as snow, adjust the exposure to +1 or +2
to compensate for the background brightness. For light subjects against a dark
background, use -1 or -2.
Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase the light sensitivity in low light
conditions to avoid too dark images and blurry images. Increasing the light sensitivity
may also increase the image noise.
Adjust contrast (images only). Adjust the difference between the lightest and
darkest parts of the image.
Adjust sharpness (images only).
The screen display changes to match the settings you define.
The capture settings are shooting-mode specific. Switching between the modes does
not reset the defined settings.
If you select a new scene, the capture settings are replaced by the selected scene. You
can change the capture settings after selecting a scene if needed.
Saving the captured image may take longer if you change the zoom, lighting or color
settings.
Capture images
When capturing an image, note the following:
● Use both hands to keep the camera still.
● The quality of a digitally zoomed image is lower than that of a non-zoomed image.
● The camera goes into battery saving mode if there are no actions for about a minute.
To continue capturing images, slide the lock switch on the side of the device.
To capture an image:
1. To switch from video mode to image mode, if necessary, select >
.
2. To lock the focus on an object, press the capture key halfway down (not available in
landscape or sport scene modes). A green locked focus indicator is displayed. If the
focus was not locked, a yellow focus indicator is displayed. Release the capture key,
and press it halfway down again. You can also capture an image without locking the
focus.
3. To capture an image, press the capture key. Do not move the device before the image
is saved and the final image displayed.
To zoom in or out when capturing an image, use the zoom key in your device.
To leave the camera open in the background and use other applications, press the menu
key. To return to the camera, press and hold the capture key.
