Capture Images - Nokia 5800 - XpressMusic Smartphone - WCDMA User Manual

— Select a colour effect.
— Adjust the white balance. Select the current lighting
conditions. This allows the camera to reproduce colours
more accurately.
— Adjust the exposure compensation (images only).
If you are shooting a dark subject against a very light
background, such as snow, adjust the exposure to +1 or
+2 to compensate for the background brightness. For light
subjects against a dark background, use -1 or -2.
Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase the light
sensitivity in low light conditions to avoid too dark images
and blurry images. Increasing the light sensitivity may
also increase the image noise.
Adjust contrast (images only). Adjust the difference
between the lightest and darkest parts of the image.
Adjust sharpness (images only).
The screen display changes to match the settings you
define.
The capture settings are shooting-mode specific.
Switching between the modes does not reset the defined
settings.
If you select a new scene, the capture settings are replaced
by the selected scene. You can change the capture settings
after selecting a scene if needed.
Saving the captured image may take longer if you change
the zoom, lighting, or colour settings.

Capture images

When capturing an image, note the following:
● Use both hands to keep the camera still.
● The quality of a digitally zoomed image is lower than
that of a non-zoomed image.
● The camera goes into battery saving mode if there are
no actions for about a minute. To continue capturing
images, slide the lock switch on the side of the device.
To capture an image:
1. To switch from video mode to image mode, if
necessary, select
2. To lock the focus on an object, press the capture key
halfway down (not available in landscape or sport
scene modes). A green locked focus indicator is
displayed. If the focus was not locked, a yellow focus
indicator is displayed. Release the capture key, and
press it halfway down again. You can also capture an
image without locking the focus.
3. To capture an image, press the capture key. Do not
move the device before the image is saved and the
final image displayed.
To zoom in or out when capturing an image, use the zoom
key in your device.

applications, press the menu key. To return to the camera,
press and hold the capture key.
