Video quality—Set the quality of the video clip to TV
(high) (best quality for long term usage and playback on
a compatible TV or PC and handset), TV (normal),
Handset (high), Handset (normal), or Sharing (limited
video clip size to send using multimedia message (MMS)).
If you want to view the video on a TV or PC, select TV
(high), which has VGA resolution (640x480) and the .mp4
file format. To send the video clip through MMS, select
Sharing (QCIF resolution, .3gp file format). The size of the
video clip recorded with Sharing is limited to 300 KB
(about 20 seconds in duration) so that it can be
conveniently sent as a multimedia message to a
compatible device.
Continuous autofocus—Select On to activate continuous
autofocus. The continuous autofocus keeps moving
objects in focus when recording the video.
Video stabilisation—Select On to reduce camera shake
when recording the video.
Add to album—Select whether you want to add the
recorded video clip to a certain album in Gallery. Select
Yes to open a list of available albums.
Show captured video—Select whether you want the first
frame of the recorded video clip to be shown on the
display after the recording stops. Select Play from the
toolbar (main camera) or Options > Play (secondary
camera) to view the video clip.
Optical zoom during recording—Select On or Off. Select
Off to eliminate mechanical noise caused by lens
movement during optical zooming when recording.
Memory in use—Define the default memory store: device
memory or memory card (if inserted).
Take pictures
Activate the main camera by rotating the display to
Imaging mode. If the camera is in video mode, use the
camera mode key to switch to image mode.
To lock the focus on an object, press the capture key
halfway down (main camera only). The green locked focus
indicator appears on the display. If the focus was not
locked, the red focus indicator appears. Release the
capture key, and press it halfway down again. You can,
however, take the picture without locking the focus.
To take a picture, in the main camera, press the capture
key. Do not move the device before the image is saved.
You can make lighting and color adjustments before taking
a picture in the Imaging mode by using the side scroll key
to scroll through the toolbar. See ‘Setup settings—Adjust
color and lighting’, p. 27.
Saving the captured image may take longer if you change
the zoom, lighting, or color settings.
