To turn these features on, from the Home screen, tap the Menu Key
Settings > Display > checkmark the Smart screen checkbox and/or the
Smart video checkbox.
NOTE The following situations may prevent these features from functioning properly:
s When the device is in the dark or against bright light.

s When the front camera is used at the same time with other applications.
