Take pictures
Before taking a picture, note the following:
●
You cannot take pictures until the xenon flash is
fully charged, unless you have set the flash to
Off
. When the flash is charging, blinks on the
display. Charging the xenon flash usually takes a
couple of seconds.
●
To make lighting and colour adjustments, use the
scroll key to scroll through the active toolbar.
See
"Setup settings—adjust colour and
lighting", p. 42.
Saving the captured image may
take longer if you change the zoom, lighting, or
colour settings.
●
To free memory for new pictures, transfer files to
a compatible PC using a compatible USB data
cable, for example, and delete the files from your
device. The device informs you when the
memory is full, and asks whether you want to
change the memory in use.
When taking a picture, note the following:
●
Use both hands to keep the camera still.
●
The quality of a digitally zoomed picture is lower
than that of a nonzoomed picture.
●
The camera goes into the battery saving mode if
there are no keypresses for a moment. To
continue taking pictures, press the capture key.
To take a picture, do the following:
1.
If the camera is in the video mode, select the
image mode from the active toolbar.
2.
To lock the focus on an
object, press the
capture key halfway
down (main camera
only, not available in
landscape and sports
scenes). The green
locked focus indicator
appears on the display. If the focus was not
locked, the red focus indicator appears. Release
the capture key, and press it halfway down
again. You can, however, take the picture
without locking the focus.
3.
To take a picture, press the capture key. Do not
move the device before the image is saved.
To zoom in or out when taking a picture, use the
zoom key in your device.
