Using the camera and camcorder

Your tablet features a 2-megapixel, front-facing digital camera. 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.

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

In the camera window, the controls on the right allow you to zoom, change settings or select camera or camcorder.

After you have taken a photo, a thumbnail in the top-right allows you to view the picture or video.
