Viewing Your Photos And Videos In Gallery; Working With Albums - Sony Ericsson Xperia active Extended User Manual

Viewing your photos and videos in
Gallery
Use Gallery to view photos and play videos that you've taken with your phone camera, or
to view similar content that you've downloaded or copied to the memory card. In Gallery,
you can also view photos and videos you've uploaded to an online service, for example, to
a Picasa™ web album or to the YouTube service. If you are a Facebook™ user, you can
view your Facebook™ photos in Gallery.
From Gallery, you can also share your favorite photos and videos with friends, via
Bluetooth™ wireless technology, email or messaging. And you can perform basic editing
tasks on photos and set them as wallpaper or contact pictures. It is recommended to use
the Media Go™ application to transfer content to and from the memory card in your phone.
For more information, see Connecting your phone to a computer on page 105.
To open Gallery and view your albums
1 From your Home screen, tap
2 Find and tap Gallery. Photos and videos on your memory card, including those
you've taken with the camera and those you downloaded from the web or other
locations, appear in albums. If you have a Picasa™ account associated with a
Google™ account that you've added to your phone, and if you have configured it to
sync with Picasa™, Gallery also displays your Picasa™ web albums.
If the screen orientation does not change automatically when you turn the phone sideways, mark
the Auto-rotate screen checkbox under Settings > Display.
