Viewing your Pictures

After you take a photo, you can access various options from
the Image Viewer. The Image Viewer uses your Gallery. For
more information, refer to “Gallery” on page 170.

Using the Camcorder

In addition to taking photos, the camera also doubles as a
camcorder that also allows you to record, view, and send
videos.

Note: The camera may not be able to properly record videos to

a memory card with a slow transfer speed.

Shooting Video

Tip: When shooting video in direct sunlight or in bright

conditions, it is recommended that you provide your
subject with sufficient light by having the light source
behind you.

1. From the main Home screen, tap Camera

to

activate the camera mode.

2. Using the camera’s main display screen as a

viewfinder, adjust the image by aiming the camcorder

at the subject.

3. Before you take a video, use the Volume control

buttons to zoom in or out. You can magnify the video up

to x4 (400 percent).
