Note:
For technical specifications, see 5 Megapixel
camera on page 73.
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.
Touch auto focus
G900 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.
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.
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.
