Camera (M5)
Camera function enables you to take pictures or record videos and save them as Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG) files and 3rd Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) files respectively. You can enjoy the picture and video files in many ways: send them attached to an MMS or Email, set a
picture file as the wallpaper for your phone, etc.
Notes on using the camera
Handling the Camera
The camera of your phone is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, there may be dots or lines on the screen that
appear darker or brighter than the others. Note also that when you are shooting or recording in dimly-lit places, the amount of noise
(such as red and blue dots or horizontal lines) may increase noticeably.
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.
As there is a slight delay from the time you press
sound.
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.
