many ways: send them attached to an MMS, set a picture file as the wallpaper for your phone, etc.

Notes on using the camera

Handling the Camera
Your phone's camera is constructed using extremely high precision technology, but there may be lines or dots on the screen that appear permanently
dark or bright. Note also that the amount of noise in the image (white lines etc.) may increase noticeably when you take pictures in dimly-lit places.
Be careful not to apply force to the lens when closing your phone. This could damage the lens.
Fingerprints or grease on the lens can result in focusing problems or dark images. Wipe the lens clean with a soft cloth before use.
The image quality may be degraded after your phone has been left for a long period in a warm place.
Exposing the camera to direct sunlight for a long period could discolour the camera's internal colour filter and cause discoloured images.
Camera mode is automatically cancelled if none of the phone's keys are pressed for 3 minutes or longer.
Precautions when taking pictures/recording videos
You cannot switch the camera's shutter sound off. The shutter makes a clicking sound when you take a picture or start/end a video recording, even when the
phone is in Meeting mode.
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.
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.
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.
While recording, be careful not to cover the mouthpiece of your phone as it is used as the microphone to record sound along with the video.
Copyright information
Images and videos shot or recorded 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 photographing of stage performances, entertainments and exhibits, even when intended
purely for personal use.
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 or record a video using the camera of your phone and send it to others.
