The integrated digital camera in the phone allows you to take photos and send them out via
the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) or as an e-mail attachment. The photos will be
stored in JPG format in the phone, and can be viewed by most picture viewing programs.
Notes on using the camera
Handling the Camera
, The camera of your phone is manufactured using high-precision technology.
However, there may be dots or lines on the screen that appear darker or brighter
than the others. Note also that when you are shooting in dimly-lit places, the amount
of noise (such as red and blue dots or horizontal lines) may increase noticeably.
, Be careful not to apply force to the lens. This could damage the lens.
2 Fingerprints or grease on the lens can result in focusing problems or dark images. Wipe the lens clean
with a soft cloth before use.
2 The image quality may be degraded after your phone has been left for a long period in a warm place.
2 Exposing the camera to direct sunlight for a long period could discolour the camera’s internal colour
filter and cause discoloured images.
2 Camera mode is automatically cancelled if none of the phone’s keys are pressed for 2 minutes or
longer.
Precautions when taking pictures
2 You cannot switch the camera’s shutter sound off. The shutter makes a clicking sound when you take
a picture, even when the phone is in Meeting mode.
2 Avoid camera shake. Moving the phone when you take a picture will result in a blurred image. Hold the
camera firmly to keep it still when you take a picture, or use the auto timer to take the shot.
2 As there is a slight delay from the time you press until the picture is actually taken, do not move the
camera until you hear the shutter sound.
2 If taking a picture with not enough light, try to hold the phone still as much as possible, and for a longer
period of time after the shutter sound: the shutter speed may be slower in a darker environment.
2 Note that if you attempt to shoot directly into a strong light source, such as the sun, another bright light
or the high reflecting target with strong light, the image may contain washed-out white highlights or be
disrupted.

Images shot on your phone cannot be used in ways that infringe copyright laws without the consent of
the copyright holder, unless intended only for personal use. Note that some restrictions apply to the

personal use.
2 Users are also asked to note that the transfer of images protected under copyright laws is only
permissible within the restrictions imposed by those copyright laws.
, Be considerate of other people’s privacy when you take a picture using the camera
of your phone and send it to others.
