Acer A500-10S16U, XE.H60PN.006 manual Using the camera, Camera icons and indicators

Using the camera

Your tablet features two cameras: a 5-megapixel digital camera and flash mounted on the rear and a 2-megapixel digital camera mounted on the front. This section will take you through all the steps in taking photos and videos with your tablet.

Note: It is recommended that you insert a microSD card into the microSD slot before using the camera.

Please note you can only save photos and videos to internal memory or a microSD card, not an external USB storage device.

Tip: The recommended use for the front-facing camera is for video chat. Use the camera so the person you call can see you while you can see them on the screen.

Normally, the video chat software you are using will provide controls for switching between the front and rear facing cameras.

To activate the camera, open the application menu and tap Camera.

Camera icons and indicators

Note: Not all controls are available when using the front-facing camera.

In the camera window, the controls on the right allow you to zoom, change settings, switch between internal and SD card memory, switch between the front and rear camera, or select camera or camcorder.

After you have taken a photo, a thumbnail in the bottom-left allows you to view the gallery of pictures or videos.
