Resolution and memory

The number of photos and videos you can store depends on the resolution or MP

High-resolution photos and videos take up more memory, so keep in mind that a

lower resolution can be suitable for everyday use.
Check the memory status from time to time. When the memory is full, you can

transfer photos and videos to another storage device to free up memory. See

Backing up and synchronising with a Google account on page 42.
Choose whether to store photos and videos on your device’s internal storage or on

an SD card using the Data storage option in the camera settings menu.

Hint

You can set the resolution separately for each capturing mode.

Diagnosing your camera

there is a problem with the main camera, front camera, or flash.

To run a diagnostics test of your camera

Make sure you are connected to the internet. When using the camera, tap
