Recording Still Images

When recording with the Out-camera, you can record still images by focusing on
five spots in the display when the Multi focus is set to [Multi AF] or a spot at the
center of the display when set to [Spot AF]. When the Auto orientation is set to [ON],
the orientation of the FOMA terminal is automatically detected while recording and
orientation information is recorded in the image file.

more using [Macro OFF], about 10 cm or more using [Macro], and about 3 cm to 18 cm using
[S-macro].
 When the zoom magnification is increased into the digital zoom range, the Multi focus function
does not operate even if the Multi focus is set to [Multi AF]. An auto-focus function that finds a
focus in the central area of the display is used instead.
