On
When geotagging is turned on, the approximate geographical location is added to photos when you take
them. The geographical location is determined either by using wireless networks (mobile networks or Wi-
Fi) or GPS technology. You can select both options simultaneously. To use geotagging you must also
enable location features in Settings. See Location services on page 88. When the phone is searching
for your position,
Wireless networks
You can use wireless networks to determine the location when satellites are out of reach, for example,
indoors. Your location is determined faster when using wireless networks, but the accuracy is less exact
than when using GPS technology
GPS satellites

of the sky. If you have turned on Wireless networks and satellites are out of reach, the wireless network
is used to determine the location

Tips when using the camera
Rule of thirds
Don't place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you
achieve a better result.
Hold it steady
Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it
against a solid object.
Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can fill the viewfinder with your subject.
Consider variety
Think about different angles, and move towards the subject. Take some vertical photos.
Try different positions.
Use a plain background
A plain background helps highlight your subject.
Keep your lens clean
Mobile phones are used in all kinds of weather and places, and carried in pockets and bags.
This results in the camera lens becoming dirty and covered with fingerprints. Use a soft
cloth to clean the lens.
