Camera and Images

Camera mode affects image size and orientation

Tip! Try out the

different Camera modes to
see how they affect the
picture taken.

With the different Camera modes, you can affect the size and orientation of the picture
to be taken. See Fig.

, p.

. When you are taking a picture, press

to change

between the different modes. Choose:

•

Standard

when you want to take normal landscape pictures,

•

Portrait

when you want to take a smaller icon-sized, vertical picture, which can be

added to a contact card, or

•

Night

when the lighting is dim and the Camera needs a longer exposure time for the

picture to be of good quality. Note that, in dim conditions, any movement while
taking a picture may cause it to get blurred. The image size and orientation is the
same for

Standard

and

Night

Glossary:

Resolution - A measure for
the sharpness and clarity
of an image. Resolution
refers to the number of
dots (pixels) in an image or
a display. The more pixels
there are, the more
detailed the picture is.
Resolution is usually
measured in pixels, for
example, 640x480=300
kilopixels (kpix)=0.3
megapixels (Mpix).
