quality is - 3mp
shoot mode - normal
scenes - auto
focus - auto

To minimize blur you use BestPic or under scenes use sport mode

great pic can u see how sharp is that? next to it that flash is also very impressive.

thanks BobaFett for your advice.
one more question can you use the image stabilizer for every day shots.



Posted by BobaFett
Just a tip. I usuall had problems how to hold the cam at shooting to avoid blury pix, i push one of my arms to my body, so that way to hold the fone/cam is more stable.

Thanks i will try what you have said.

I found the camera button to be awkward to use because of its push-pause-push design. This caused me to move the phone a lot while I tried to push the button, creating blurry pics.

As a result, now I only take pics by pressing the joystick button. My pics are much better now.

Also, try taking pics by placing the phone on a flat surface and using the self-portrait timer. This way, you are not touching the phone at all when it goes off.

This photo was taken using auto mode.
what do you all think of the quality good or bad

@zootzoot: Hard to say when you compress the pictures. Would be much better if you post a picture in original size.
