Auto-exposure control
The camera has a full automatic exposure control
that selects the optimal exposure needed to get an
excellent picture.
Lighting adjustment
The camera has built-in compensation for bright
skies that automatically adjusts the brightness of
landscape pictures. This avoids the dark and dull
images that automatic cameras sometimes give in
difficult lighting situations. It is especially effective
for outdoor photography on grey and cloudy days.
Photo light
The camera has a high quality light to improve tak-
ing pictures in dark environments.
Business card scanner
It is possible to take a photo of a business card and
then use the Business Card Reader application to
scan the card. The scanned text can then be saved
as a Contact.
Picture Gallery
The Picture Gallery enables you to view, send and
organize your photographs, this includes pictures
taken by the built-in Camera and images loaded
from elsewhere. The Picture Gallery supports a dis-
play mode of 262K colours with the following image formats; JPEG, BMP, GIF (including ani-
mated), MBM, PNG, WBMP, MNG, SVG, ICO and
WMF.
You can also launch the Picture Editor from the Pic-
ture Gallery.
Picture Editor
Using the Picture Editor, it is possible to crop,
rotate resize, edit and correct images.
You can use the editor to edit pictures directly in
camera view mode or make corrective adjustment
such as red eye removal or improve brightness lev-
els.
The editor also includes fun layers, clip art and
tools for drawing on the image using the stylus. Dif-
ferent pen sizes and colours are available, as well
as a text tool for formatting and inserting text into
the image.
When creating MMS messages, the Picture Editor
can be used to edit JPEG, PNG, GIF and BMP
images as well as for creating simple JPEG images.
A simpler pixel editor is also available for creating
and editing pictures for EMS messages.
