Using the camera

By default, the built-in Camera app is ready to take photos, but you can switch easily between photo and video mode.

Before you use the camera, make sure you have removed the protective film on the camera and flash window.

To take a photo or record a video:

1. Tap / Camera.

2. Tap the on-screen Camera button to take a picture, or tap the Video icon to switch modes, then tap the icon again to record a video.

Your latest photo or video shows as a thumbnail in the lower right corner of the window. You can tap this to access the Pictures library. See Viewing photos and videos for more information.

Tap / Camera to launch the Camera.

To change settings, do any of the following as required:

• To manually set the brightness or exposure (Exposure compensation), tap the small arrow (left center of the window, near the Watch icon), then tap the +/- icon. A manual slider appears on the right side of the window, around the Camera button. Move the slider upwards to brighten your photos and videos, or move it downwards to darken them.

• To set the focus to automatic (default) or manual, tap the icon labeled Auto (left center of the window near the Watch icon). A manual slider appears to adjust focus; move the slider upwards or downwards to set the focus as required.

• To set a time delay, tap the Watch icon (left center of the window). The timer enables you take pictures with a delay of 2, 5, or 10 seconds. To select the required delay, tap the Watch icon until the number of seconds' delay that you want displays (shown as a small number near the Watch icon). When a time delay is set, each time you take a picture, the Camera app displays a timer in the middle of the window that indicates when the photo is captured.

• Tap in the top right corner of the window to access more settings, such as:

  • what happens when you press and hold the camera button.

  • the photo aspect ratio.

  • the framing grid.

  • video recording settings, like frames per second or flicker reduction.

  • where photos and videos are saved. By default, your photos and videos are saved to Pictures / Camera Roll.

  • location info. See Enable the Camera app to access your location to geo-tag photos for more information.

To hide the camera settings, tap anywhere in the window away from the Settings panel.

1. Tap / Camera to launch the Camera app.

2. Tap in the top left corner of the screen.

3. Under Related settings, tap Choose whether camera can use location info.

4. Tap Yes to confirm you want to switch apps.

5. In the Settings screen, make sure Location is selected in the list on the left.

6. Under Location, if the device shows Location for this device is off, tap Change, and tap the Location for this device switch to turn it On.

7. Scroll down to Choose apps that can use your precise location, and tap the Camera switch to turn it On.

8. Close the Settings app to return to the Camera app.

By default, your photos and videos are saved to the Camera roll on the T110 tablet.

There are several ways to look through and work with your photos and videos:

• In the Camera app, tap the thumbnail of the last photo or video you captured; this thumbnail appears in the bottom right corner of the window. The photo / video opens in a new window. Use the arrows to scroll through the collection.

  From within this window, you can also quickly go to your Pictures library—tap View All photos in the top left corner of the window.

• Open File Explorer, and go to your Pictures library and open the Camera roll or the folder you have saved photos / videos in.

• Use the OneDrive app.
