Taking photos and recording videos
Your phone camera is equipped with the highly sensitive Exmor R sensor, which helps
you capture sharp photos and videos even in low lighting conditions. You can take
regular 2D photos or you can shoot 3D photos in 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode and
Sweep Multi Angle™ mode. Send your photos and videos to friends as multimedia
messages, or upload them to a web service such as Facebook™. Your phone also has a
front camera, which is useful for self-portraits.
