Does the camera record my location?

If you explicitly allow the use of your location, the camera will geotag your photos and videos. Read more about your privacy options in “Location” on page 38. Read more about geotags below.

What is a geotag?

A geotag contains location information (longitude, latitude) that’s stored as metadata with your photo or video. You must allow use of your location by the Camera app before geotags will be added to your captured media. You can allow the use of your location from the Apps > Settings > Location screen. Also, as long as you have location services turned on and you have ask selected on the Location settings screen, each time an app wants to use your location, you’ll first be asked for permission. Read more in “Location” on page 38.

How can I import photos and media on my computer to my phone?

You can import photos, music, and videos to your phone by attaching your phone to your computer with the USB cable and using the Zune software. You can also download photos to your computer via the Studio. Read more in “Copy photos and videos to/from your computer” on page 94.

What’s the format of my captured photos and videos?

Photos are captured to JPG format. Videos are captured to MP4 format.

Does the camera have auto-focus?

Yes. While capturing a photo, press the CAPTURE button half-way down to focus, then all the way down to capture. To bypass auto-focus, either press the CAPTURE button all the way down without

pausing, or tap the camera icon on the screen.

Note: A few inches in front of the lens to infinity will be focused by default, so if you don’t have time to use the auto-focus, it shouldn’t be a problem.
