Tips on taking good photographs
Picture quality
Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has
several picture quality modes. Use the highest
setting to make sure that the camera produces the
best picture quality available. Note however, that
better picture quality requires more storage space.
For multimedia message (MMS) and e-mail
attachments it may be necessary to use the smallest
picture quality mode optimised for MMS sending.
You can define the quality in the camera settings.

Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other
pictures with people, avoid having your subject in
front of a cluttered, complex background that may
distract attention from the subject. Move the
camera, or the subject, when these conditions
cannot be met. Move the camera closer to the object
to take clearer portraits.
Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, add
depth to your pictures by placing objects in the
