Note: When taking a photo in direct sunlight or in bright conditions, shadows may appear on the photo.

1.From the Home screen, tap (Camera).

2.Using the phone’s main display screen as a viewfinder, adjust the image by aiming the camera at the subject.

3.Before you take a picture, zoom in or out by using either:

•The Up and Down Volume keys.

•Tapping the screen with two fingers and then dragging outwards.

You can magnify the picture up to x4 (400 percent).

4.If desired, before taking the photo, touch the left tab to access various camera options and settings.

5.You can also touch the screen to move the focus to the area you tap.

6.Press the Camera key until the shutter sounds. (The picture is automatically stored within your designated storage location. If no microSD is installed, all pictures are stored on the Phone.) For more information, refer to “Camera and Camcorder Options” on page 113.
