You can also use the sequence mode with the self-
timer.
To return to the sequence mode viewfinder, press the

You in the picture—self-timer
The self-timer is available only in the main camera. Use
the self-timer to delay the capture so that you can
include yourself in the picture.
To set the self-timer delay, in the active toolbar, select
Self timer > 2 seconds, 10 seconds, or 20
seconds.
To activate the self-timer, select Activate. The device
beeps when the timer is running and the quadrangle
blinks just before the image capture. The camera takes
the picture after the selected delay elapses.
To switch off the self-timer, in the active toolbar, select
Self timer > Off.
Tip: In the active toolbar, select Self timer > 2
seconds to keep your hand steady when taking
a picture.
Tips on taking good photographs
Picture quality
Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has
several picture quality modes. Use the highest setting
to make sure that the camera produces the best
picture quality available. Note however, that better
picture quality requires more storage space. For
multimedia message (MMS) and e-mail attachments it
may be necessary to use the smallest picture quality
mode optimised for MMS sending. You can define the
quality in the camera settings.
See "Still image camera
settings", p. 71.
Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other
pictures with people, avoid having your subject in
front of a cluttered, complex background that may
distract attention from the subject. Move the camera,
or the subject, when these conditions cannot be met.
Move the camera closer to the object to take clearer
portraits.
Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, add depth
to your pictures by placing objects in the foreground.
If the foreground object is too close to the camera, it
may be blurred.
