2.0 Megapixel camera

With the integrated 2.0 Megapixel camera with
auto focus and digital zoom, the user can take pic-
tures and video clips and save them in the phone
memory or on the Memory Stick. The user can
send them as an attachment in an email or a pic-
ture message. The pictures or video clips can also
be sent via Bluetooth, infrared or cable.
A large viewfinder is presented in the display and
QuickShare™ offers a minimal number of steps
that take you to the send options as follows:
• 3 steps for camera: start, capture and send.
• 3 steps for video: start, capture and send.
Using the camera or video
The camera and video is started via the active lens
cover, depending on what was last used or can
also be started via the phone menu system.
Shoot modes
There is a number of different shoot modes for dif-
ferent user scenarios:
Frames
A shoot mode that lets you apply funny pre-drawn
picture frames to your images.
Panorama pictures
The camera can create panorama pictures by
stitching together several different pictures into one
large picture. This is done with the help of a unique
image processing technique.
Using this feature is very user friendly. The user
simply takes a picture and then moves the camera
slightly sideways and then takes a new picture.
This can be repeated several times until the user
selects to save the panorama where all the different
pictures are stitched together.
Burst mode
A useful function when taking photos of objects
that move quickly in the scene: it rapidly takes 4
pictures in a row automatically.
Image formats
The camera is able to take pictures in the following
resolutions:
• Small - QQVGA (160x120 pixels)
• Medium - VGA (640x480 pixels)
• Large - 2 Megapixel (1632x1224 pixels)
Megapixel pictures
Megapixel pictures can be used when a larger
viewing area is required, for example, when
uploading a picture to a computer.
Video format
Video clips can be recorded, played and sent using
the following codec:
• 3GPP™ (H.263 and AMR)
More camera features
The camera has full automatic exposure control
that selects the optimal exposure time needed to
get an excellent picture. When operating the view-
finder, the camera adjusts the exposure time.
The camera supports auto focus in full range, and
separate in macro range.
A half press on the shutter button indicates focus,
and a long press means taking a picture.
The lighting conditions found indoors and outdoors
may differ significantly. This may give rise to false
colours in photographs. To compensate for this,
the Megapixel camera is equipped with automatic
white balance. This feature automatically adjusts
