General camera settings
Tap
and then tap General to display general camera settings valid for both the still and video camera.
Self-timer
With the self-timer you can take a photo without holding the phone. Use it to take self-portraits, or group photos
where everyone can be in the photo. You can also use the self-timer to avoid shaking the camera when taking
photos.
10 seconds
Set a 10-second delay from when the shutter key is pressed until the photo is taken.
2 seconds
It can be hard to hold the phone perfectly still when pressing the shutter key. Slight movements can
result in blurred photos. Use the 2-second delay to solve this problem.
Off
The photo is taken as soon as you press the shutter key.
Auto review
Select whether to show or not show the photo or video just after you have taken it.
On
When Auto review is on, you can review, and delete or send, the photo or video just after you have
taken it.
Off
When Auto review is off, you return to the viewfinder directly after you have taken a photo or recorded
a video. This speeds up the process of taking a new photo or recording a new video.
GPS location
You can add the approximate geographical location to photos when you take them. When you upload the
photos to a web service, or use them with a map or location application, you can show friends and family where
you were on a map, or find your way back to the location another time.
Off
When GPS location is turned off, you are not able to view the location of where you took a photo.
On
When GPS location is turned on, the approximate geographical location is added to photos when you
take them. This information can later be used to identify the location where the photo was taken.
Save To
You can select to save photos and videos in the phone memory or on the memory card. If the memory is full,
you cannot save anything until you have deleted some files.
Phone
Photos and videos are saved in the phone memory.
Memory card

Image stabilizer
When taking a photo, it can be difficult to hold the phone steady. The stabilizer helps you by compensating for
small movements of the hand.
