Camera
Your Vertu phone incorporates a 3 Megapixel camera with integral
LED flash.
There is a powerful 8x digital zoom which together with the 16
million colour HVGA screen produces crisp, high quality images.
You can take photos and record video clips with the camera, send
them by message to your friends, or save them in the
Gallery, from
where they can be transferred to your computer.
The camera produces pictures in jpg format and you can shoot still
images or video images using the camera application.
Across the top of the screen you can see some indicator icons. The
value for these can be changed in the
Settings menu. You can
also see the number of images remaining in the top-right hand
corner of the viewfinder. The number of images remaining depends
on the chosen resolution and quality settings. Higher resolution and
quality settings result in larger file sizes and fewer images. File sizes
may also vary due to the image compression process.
