CHAPTER 18: Taking Photos and Videos
Let's explore these settings.

Picture Resolution

This option allows you to set the size of your photos. Larger pictures will print better, but
they take more storage space. If you're using your DROID only to take photos for the
Web, you probably don't need the highest setting, but if you'd like to print some of your
photos and have room on your phone's memory card, increase this.
The highest resolution on a DROID or DROID 2 is 5 megapixels, and the highest on a
DROID X is 8 megapixels.
Video Resolution
This is the size of video you shoot with your camera. Although your DROID X may be
capable of shooting HD video, you'll probably get better overall balance of quality and
storage space by using the VGA (640 x 480) setting. That's the resolution of analog TVs.
It can be uploaded to YouTube and edited in programs like Windows Movie Maker and
iMovie.
If you're sending video text messages or sending videos by email, you'll want to make
the video even smaller. Try QCIF (176x144) or QVGA (320 x 240). Those are tiny videos
to watch, but they take much up less storage space as an attachment to a message.
Quick Upload Album
We've already discussed setting up a Quick upload album. Here is where you'd change
the location. You may want to change locations prior to a trip in order to make it easier
to sort the photos once you get back.
Review Time
Review Time is the amount of time a photo shows on your screen after you take it.
Increase the time for a longer review or decrease it to take the next picture faster.

Face Detection

Check this box if you take lots of pictures of people and want the camera to focus on
their faces rather than focusing on the object nearest the center of the frame. Leave it
unchecked if you primarily take landscape photos or detail shots of items other than
people.
ISO Equivalent Sensitivity
The ISO Equivalent sensitivity has to do with the light sensitivity of the camera. In film,
the ISO setting is used to determine shutter speed, and this setting is used to simulate
