Imaging Tips
Displaying Images
To View an image: View any picture by going to File Manager, and selecting the
"pictures" or "Camera Album" folder. Select a picture and press VIEW. To view photos while using the camera, press VIEW.
To rotate the picture in the display, select "Landscape."
Zooming: You can zoom in on a picture by selecting Landscape. In
landscape mode you can zoom in on a picture, or zoom out, by using the
volume button, or by using buttons 1 and 3. When zoomed in, use the joystick to move around the image.
Camera Usage
Four ways to start the camera app:
1. Open lense cover. This method works even when the keypad is locked.
2. In standby mode, push the shutter button all the way down. This will restart the camera app
(you will have to open the shutter)
3. Go to Menu, Camera to manually restart the camera app.
4. Press Activity Button, C button and right softkey simultaneously. Works
from within any menu.
Camera/Video Keyboard Shortcuts:
0 = Camera Help
1 = Toggle picture size
3 = Zoom Out (you can also use up volume key)
4 = Toggle Macro mode
6 = Zoom In (you can also use down volume key)
7 = Stability (video mode)
* = Toggle Flash
Top left button = Change Shoot Mode
Top right button = Change Scenes
volume button = digital zoom control
up joystick=decrease exposure
down joystick=increase exposure
right joystick=camera mode
left joystick=video mode
(joystick directions mentioned above are taken to be the direction if the phone is held vertically. Since the camera is used horizontally, the up joystick command appears as left joystick etc)
Muting the Camera
Before opening the lense cover hold # to toggle between silent mode easily.
Note on Camera muting: Muting the camera is only possible in some
firmware releases.
Another Method: You can also make a call to a (preferably free) number, then start-up the cam. If you take a pic while the call is still connected, the camera won't make a single sound!
Caring for the Camera
A traditional photographers blower brush is very handy for keeping your camera clean. You
should also be careful of dust on the lense when cleaning with a cloth.
If you get water on the phone, turn it
off and if the water has penetrated the casing, don't turn the phone on
again for 24 hours, to give it a chance to dry thoroughly. A wet phone
will usually survive, but if turned on while wet there is a much greater
chance of the phone frying completely.
