Automatic camera off. When not used the camera turns off automatically in 30 seconds, 1, 2 or 3 minutes.

Shutter sound. You can choose on of the three shutter sounds but not turn the sound off.

Spot photometry. The function is unusual for a mobile phone.

White balance. A possibility to choose between an automatic mode or Incandescent, Fluorescent, Daylight, Cloudy.

Light. Backlighting activation, also may be turned on by shifting a left-side cover.

Effects. Several effects may be applied to the photos, they are Negative, Solarize, Sepia, Black & White.

Timer is activated for a certain time period for self shooting.

Night mode is for shooting in the dark. Noises raise on a photo, exposition is increased (you shouldn't move the device in order not to get a blurry photo).

Shooting mode. Normal mode, that is taking usual photos. A multiple mode (Burst 4) allows taking four photos for a series. Landscape is a very interesting mode that allows taking rather unordinary photos, has no rivals for the moment. The last mode is taking photos with frames, photo resolution decreases automatically.

Macromode allows turning the mode automatically.

The screen may serve as a viewfinder when in the shooting mode. The picture moves very smoothly and everything is clearly seen. Number keys help in switching between various functions and shooting parameters quickly that fastens work greatly.

Autofocus works well in the majority of cases and yields only to fast moving objects, for instance, cars. The picture often comes merged then. At the same time, a running man is always well seen, the picture is clear.

Processing a photo after shooting is a peculiarity of the phone. Before shooting you see a very sharp picture on the screen and half-pressed shutter button calls focusing like in usual cameras. When pressing it you take a photo and that is when the picture looses its sharpness. The explanation is the phone's processing algorithm; it spends no time to draw a picture on the screen and makes a rough sketch that takes less time. If entering a folder with photos and show a single photo on the screen you'll see it is sharp and the picture is quite saturated.

Let's acquaint with the photos taken in various conditions. We have chosen Samsung P750 equipped with a 2MP camera with a CCD matrix (all the pictures taken with the device are of the maximum resolution and quality). I'd like to say in advance, the Sony Ericsson product proved better though having a CMOS matrix. Let's start with the photos taken in the street.


You need only to compare several photos to notice the Sony Ericsson K750's quality is higher. Comparing the phone with any model in the market we can surely call it the best since it has the highest picture quality than all the others. It was interesting to compare the quality of indoors photos since there are problems with the light.

Here is an indoors photo, Leffe beer, 1632х1224, Normal, 522 KB, JPEG

The same glass with the objective of Samsung P750 - 296 KB, JPEG

That's easy to see, Samsung gives way again. Later on we'd like to only represent the photos but not compare the quality.



The lighting under the tube staircase, where there is poor light, could have been crucial; however the device endured this test also. It seems unnecessary to activate night mode in this device.



Night photos looked quite acceptable and are sharp in the majority of cases. The best photos are taken when there is a bright light spot, in the even lighting, long distance between the camera and the shoot object causes noises, which is quite typical.


No lights in the elevator and here is when the flash saves.



You can convince the photos taken in the darkness are not less qualitative than in the daylight.



Also we have taken many photos in various weather conditions and will represent only the most typical ones.



Only macromode and working in it remained unconsidered. You just need to set the Macro function in the menu and the device starts shooting objects in the distance of several centimeters. No cavils appear and this mode works well. You only should not forget to turn it off, since latter photos might be not as sharp.



There is a 4x digital zoom in the phone. Using it seems not well-taken since the picture gets worse. Sample zoom work in a file – 2.99 MB, ZIP>>>



There are quite various frames known by other models. In principle, a frame may be applied in a graphical editor and the same function in the shooting mode is for lazy ones. One may reveal his creative skills using a panoramic mode.


I'd like to represent some photos with the maximum resolution and quality for the end.



Video may be recorded in two resolutions (176x144, 128x96), file format is 3GP. Clip duration may be limited (up to 10 seconds) or unlimited. The quality of the clips is average and E720/E730, for instance, make more qualitative records, the same may be told about Sagem myX-8.

You can't scroll video when watching it and the realization is subjectively average.

The conclusion is quite plain; the camera is the best in the market for today and the future 7-8 months. The device has no rivals in the picture quality. Moreover it is close to the ideal one considering the dimensions.

Java. The phone supports Java (MIDP 2.0), as well as 3D-engine, which allows launching truly three-dimensional games (not only Mascot Capsule is supported but JSR-184 also). Some games already known by other models of the company are preinstalled.
