Camera
 Camera Type[MegaPixels]
|
None |
|---|---|
Most camera types in mobile phones are measured in megapixels. 1 megapixel means 1 million pixels and 2 megapixels is equal to 2 million pixels. A VGA camera is equal to 0.3 megapixels. 1 megapixel or more is much larger than a phone's display so won't make a huge difference if pictures are only being used for phone applications such as MMS. However if you download images to a PC, or want to print them, then the higher the megapixel the better quality the picture. |
|
| Zoom
|
 |
Digital Zoom - this takes a small area of the image and digitally enlarges it - in effect stretching the pixels so the image is not as sharp as optical zoom.
Optical Zoom - this uses the lens to magnify the image as opposed to doing it digitally. It allows you to maintain the image quality and resolution when you zoom into your subject. The higher the oOptical zoom the better.
|
|
| Auto Focus
|
|
A type of camera lens that can adjust the distance that is in focus (focul length). Auto-focus usually provides better photo quality than fixed focus since auto-focus lenses can be larger and allow more light to reach the camera sensor. |
|
| Night Mode
|
|
The handset may not have a light or flash so it uses software to enhance the brightness. |
|
| Flash
|
|
Cameras that have a flash have the ability to give a brief burst of very bright light to illuminate the subject. Cameras without in-built flash are reliant on good lighting.
|
|
| LED Light
|
|
Light Emitting Diodes (LED). Super-compact, high intensity, fast-reacting light source. LED's are sometimes used in mobile phones as an alternative to a more conventional flash. It lights up the area when taking pictures. |
|
| Video Calling
|
|
Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, share it with others in real time. Maybe you've made it to the front row at a concert or maybe you're out shopping and just need a second opinion. Video calling takes you wherever you want to go - it lets you see who you're talking to as if they're a few feet away. |
|
Media
| Audio Player
|
|
|---|---|
A phone that includes a memory storage MP3, AAC, or similar music files and software for playing that music. Music can be downloaded from a computer or over the network and be played back through the phone.
This is not to be confused with real-music ringtones, an audio player that can play whole songs independently of the ringer functionality. |
