About the camera
The camera in your device is equipped with the highly sensitive Exmor RS sensor,
which helps you capture sharp photos and videos even in low lighting conditions. The
camera application has several other features. For example, you can use it to send
photos and videos to friends as messages, or upload them to a web service. Your
device also has a front camera, which is useful for self-portraits.
