Camera tips and tricks
Rule of thirds
Don’t place your subject in the middle
of the frame. By placing it a third of the
way in, you will achieve a better result.
Hold it steady
Avoid blurry pictures by holding the
camera steady. Try to steady your hand
by leaning it against a solid object.
Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your
subject you won’t have to rely on the
zoom. Try to fill your viewfinder with
your subject.
Stay within the flash range
Pictures taken beyond the maximum
flash range will be too dark. The
maximum flash range is about four
steps away.
Consider variety
Think different angles, move towards
the object. Take some vertical pictures.
Try different positions.
Use a plain background
A plain background will help to
highlight your subject.
Keep your lens clean
Phones are used in all manner of
weather and places and carried in
pockets and bags. This results in the
camera lens becoming dirty and
covered with fingerprints. Use a soft
cloth to clean the lens.

Hearing Aid Compatibility
Rating
This model handset was designed to
comply with the requirements set forth
in Section 20.19 of the Federal
Communication Commission's (FCC)
rules governing hearing aid
compatibility (HAC), for the reduction
of RF interference and magnetic
coupling (T-coil) to hearing aids. The
Microphone (M) rating and T-coil (T)
rating is defined and labeled on the
handset box. Devices meeting HAC
compliance must have a minimum M3
and/or T3 rating or above as defined by
the FCC in accordance with the latest
ANSI Standard C63.19. The (M) rating
refers to lower RF emission levels of the
handset. The (T) rating refers to the
magnetic coupling between the
handset and the T-coil compatible
hearing aid. Some hearing aids are also
provided an (M) rating, and are more
immune than others to interference. To
determine the (M) rating of your hearing
aid, please contact your hearing health
professional. More information about
digital wireless devices and hearing aid
compatibility can be found at
www.sonyericsson-snc.com.
