Taking a photo or recording a video

This section explains basic camera operations.

  1. Launch the camera.
    • Swipe (Camera icon) from the lock screen.
    • Tap (Camera icon) from the app drawer.
    • Press the power key twice. Find and tap [Settings] > [System] > [Gestures] > [Quickly open camera], and then tap the switch to enable this function.
  2. Swipe the screen to select a photo or video mode.
  3. Tap the shutter button.

Hint

  • Make sure the lenses are clean. A fingerprint or a little dirt can diminish photo quality.
  • Use the self-timer when you need extra time to prepare, or to avoid blurred photos.
  • Check your device’s memory status often. High-resolution photos and videos consume more memory.
  • You can scan QR codes.

Note

  • Note that some functions may not be available depending on the settings.
