Settings
In the Camera application settings, you can adjust the image quality setting and change
the default image name.
Example: If you
set ‘Beach’ as the default
image name, Camera will
name all the pictures you
take ‘Beach’, ‘Beach(01)’,
‘Beach(02)’, and so on,
until you change the
setting again.

Camera mode affects image size and orientation
Tip! Try out the
different Camera modes
to see how they affect the
picture taken.
With the different Camera modes, you can affect the size and orientation of the picture to
be taken. See Fig.

. When you are taking a picture, move the joystick to the right or
left to change between the different modes. Choose:
•
Standard
when you want to take normal landscape pictures,
•
Portrait
when you want to take a smaller icon-sized, vertical picture, which can be
added to a contact card, or
•
Night
when the lighting is dim and the Camera needs a longer exposure time for the
picture to be of good quality. Note that, in dim conditions, any movement while taking

Glossary:
Resolution - A measure
for the sharpness and
clarity of an image.
Resolution refers to the
number of dots (pixels) in
an image or a display. The
more pixels there are, the
more detailed the picture
is. Resolution is usually
measured in pixels, for
example, 640x480=300
kilopixels (kpix)=0.3
megapixels (Mpix).
Fig. 2 Standard, Portrait, and Night modes
• When you are taking a picture in Standard or Night mode, the viewfinder resolution is
160x120 pixels and 80x96 for Portrait mode.
• The images taken in Standard or Night mode are saved in 640x480 pixel (VGA) format
and those taken in Portrait mode are saved in 80x96 pixel format.
• When you are viewing images, they are scaled to fit the display, which has 176x208
pixels. This means that Standard and Night mode pictures will appear more detailed
when viewed on a higher resolution screen, for example, a computer or when zoomed
in Images.
Images and memory consumption
Your phone has 3.6 MB (megabytes) of free memory for images, contact information,
calendar, messages, and so on. Portrait images (always taken in High quality) are so small
that they take up very little memory. Images taken using the High quality setting and those
taken in Night mode take up the most memory.

If 1 MB of memory is used for images only, it would fit approximately 40 Normal quality
images taken in Standard mode. In the table below, you can see approximately how many
images would fit in 1 MB of memory.
