Camera

Note: For technical specifications, see 5 Megapixel camera on page 67.

With the integrated 5 megapixel camera, the user can take pictures and video clips and store them in the Phone memory or on a memory card.

The megapixel quality gives excellent results when pictures are printed or viewed on a computer or TV.

Pictures can be sent as attachments in email or as picture messages (MMS). A picture can also be sent via a USB or Bluetooth™ connection.

The camera and video can be started with the camera button or from the Main menu. The viewfinder is displayed in landscape orientation.

The most convenient way to change the camera settings is directly from the touch UI, that is, on the screen. To many of the camera settings there are shortcuts on the keypad.

Video format

Video can be stored in the following formats:

•MPEG-4 for normal and high quality video recordings.

•3GPP for low quality video recordings to be used in MMS messages.

Multi-shot mode

When taking a photo of an object that moves quickly, multi-shot mode may be used to take several pictures in rapid succession. Pictures are captured as long as the camera button is pressed. Multi-shot pictures are captured in VGA resolution.

Auto-exposure control

The camera has a full automatic exposure control that selects the optimal exposure needed to get an excellent picture.

Touch auto focus

G900c has touch auto focus functionality as an option. This means that a user just touches the area of the scene in the viewfinder where he or she wants the focus to be.

Touch auto focus is the default camera setting, but the exact meaning is touch auto focus preferred. If a user does not touch anywhere on the screen, the camera will work as in auto focus mode.

Lighting adjustment

The camera has built-in compensation for bright skies, which automatically adjusts the brightness of landscape pictures. This avoids the dark and dull pictures that automatic cameras sometimes give in difficult lighting situations. It is especially effective for outdoor photography on grey and cloudy days.

RSS feeds

RSS provides a way for Web sites to distribute their content outside of a Web browser. A news Web site might have an RSS feed which contains breaking stories, while a magazine Web site may provide an RSS feed with excerpts of their latest articles.

An RSS feed is a file containing a list of news items, each of which has a title, a description and a URL link to read more on the content provider's Web site.
