.......THE APPEARNACE.... Firstly the camera is silver, and to my disapointment is rather big, Its about 2 cm wide, 3cm in height, and 6.5cm in length (all very rough estimates). The screen is not very large around 2cm in length.
-Portrait -Landscape
-Night Scene -Sport
-Landscape+Portrait -Night+Portrait
-Movie..For recording videos (no audio) -Self Portrait (SCENE) ..this is my favourtie mode because it enables you to change the scene to one of the following: Indoor, Beach, Snow,Fireworks, Sunset, Cuisine, Candlelight, Behind Glass and lastly an Available light picture. I found all of these scene settings very useful, and to my suprise they actualy make a difference depending on where you are!
The camera has a 3x optical zoom and a digital zoom but im not sure much about the digital zoom, all i know is that to turn it on you must click menu > modemenu > camera > digital zoom > on. The zoom buttons are at the topof the back of the camera, labeled W and T. This was confusing at first but you must use the directional keys not "ok" to select things. To turn the camera on there is a small button labelled power, and to take a picture a large silver button on the top.
.....PICTURE QUALITY...... This camera is 6.0 megapixels, which is quite alot, meaning that the picture quality is usually of a great standard, however 1 out of 20 pictures usualy blurs, and with my luck its usualy the picture that would have been my favourite lol! However this usualy isnt a problem,as long as you hold the camera fairly still. The flash is very impressive, theres nothing to complain bout with that. .....Other.....
Afavourite feature of mine is the close up photography, when about to take a picture if you press up which has a little flower above it you can change it to super close photigrapghy or close photograpghy. I find this amazing, i recently used this to take pictures of a babys hand, and the result was amazing, even when viewing pictures extremely large on my computer you could see so much detail, i recommend you turn this setting on when taking close photos. There are 4 different settings for the FLASH AUTO RED EYE REDUCTION FLASH EVERYTIME FLASH OFF
There is 1 time you can use which is 12 seconds. you can change the brightness of the picture from 0.0 to -0.2 up to 2.00 mooving in intervals of 0.5.
Thats about all for this camera but if i think of anything more i shal add to my review.
