It also has a self-timer, which is useful for self-portraits. A light press of the shutter button initiates the auto-focus feature of the camera lens - when a green dot appears on the screen, the camera has focused, and a full press will capture the photograph. The camera also has the ability to capture video clips at 176x144 (QCIF) resolution at 10 frames per second. The camera, which also features 16x digital zoom, is situated on the back side of the phone and is protected by a sliding gloss plastic, metal-effect look cover.
