Functions in Camera Phone (AutoFocus)

Are you aware that there are lots of functions available in your camera? Do you know how to use every single setting?

First of all, the main function of a camera that most users are concerned about is the "auto focus" function. Recalling back the time when I first bought my phone, the very first question raised was whether the camera has the auto focus function. So what is auto focus and how does it work?

The auto focus technology basically helps user to improve the quality of photos taken. For camera phone, you will need to press the shutter release button half way down (about 3 seconds) for the camera lens to focus on the object until the sharpest and clearest image of the object is shown on screen. You will normally hear a beep sound to notify when to press the shutter release button all the way down to capture the object. For my N73, when the object is sharp enough, there will be a green box appearing on the screen and a beep to alert me when to snap the pictures. However, I do not have any photos without auto focus, so I can't do any comparison here.

At the end of the day, the main purpose of auto focus is to prevent blurred or distorted images. So remember to activate auto focus in your camera phone all the time (auto focus is normally set to ON in default setting). Have Fun !!
