By default, photos use the 16:9 aspect ratio and have a 7 Mpix resolution. This

To take 8 Mpix photos, change the aspect ratio to 4:3. Tap the settings area, and
select the appropriate settings.

In all applications, and even on the lock screen, you can easily access the camera.
Hold your phone upright, and drag your finger from below the bottom of the touch
screen onto the screen. Hold your finger in place, until the quick launch bar is
shown.
Take a close-up photo
It can be tricky to get small objects, such as insects or flowers, in focus. You need to
move the camera closer to the object. To take sharp and precise photos of even the
tiniest details, use close-up mode.
