Viewing photos and videos in Gallery

Use Gallery to view photos and play videos that you’ve taken with your phone camera, or to view similar content that you've downloaded or copied to the phone's internal storage. In Gallery, you can also view photos and videos you've uploaded to an online service, for example, to a Picasa™ web album or to Facebook™.

From Gallery, you can also share your favorite photos and videos with friends by using Bluetooth™ wireless technology, email or messaging. And you can perform basic editing tasks on photos and set them as wallpaper or contact pictures. For more information, see Connecting your phone to a computer on page 117.
