You in the picture—self-timer
Use the self-timer to delay the taking of a picture so that
you can include yourself in the picture. To set the
self-timer delay, select
Options > Self-timer > 10
seconds , 20 seconds , or 30 seconds . To activate the
self-timer, select Activate . The self-timer indicator ( )
blinks and the device beeps when the timer is running. The
camera takes the picture after the selected delay has
elapsed. You can also use the
Self-timer in the sequence
mode. See ‘Take pictures in a sequence’, p. 32.
The flash
Keep a safe distance when using the flash. Do not use the
flash on people or animals at close range. Do not cover the
flash while taking a picture.
The camera has an LED flash for low light conditions. The
following flash modes are available:
Automatic ( ), On
( ), and Off ( ).
Select Options > Image setup > Flash > On to use the
flash.
If the flash is set to Off or Automatic during bright
conditions, the flash still emits a low light when an image
is captured. This allows the subject of the picture to see
when the picture is taken. There is no flash effect on the
resultant picture.
Adjust still image camera settings
There are two kinds of settings for the still image camera:
Image setup settings and main settings. To adjust Image
setup settings, see ‘Adjust color and lighting’, p. 34. The
setup settings return to the default settings after you
close the camera, but the main settings remain the same
until you change them again. To change the main settings,
select
Options > Settings and from the following:
Image quality — High - Print , Med. - E-mail , or Low -
Multimedia . The better the image quality, the more
memory the image consumes. The quality of a zoomed
picture is lower than that of a non-zoomed picture. If you
want to print the image, select
High - Print (resolution
1600x1200). If you want to send it through e-mail, select
Med. - E-mail (resolution 1024x768). To send the image
through MMS, select Low - Multimedia (resolution
640x480).
Glossary: Resolution is a measure of sharpness and
clarity of an image. Resolution refers to the number of
pixels in an image. The more pixels, the more detailed
the picture is, and the more memory it consumes.
