Rotating screen

A s soon as you slide the phone open, the screen rotates. I only preferred this during writing text messages. For example; you scroll through the settings by sliding your finger from the top downwards, and when the screen is rotated, you can only see three options and scrolling is carried out in too big a step. If you have 10 possible options and you need to pick out the sixth, it is almost impossible. Viewing pictures is excellent on the Samsung F700. You select My files in the menu and then: My Pictures. The pictures are shown on the screen and you scroll through the pictures by sliding your finger over the screen.

Samsung F700 Digital camera

3 Megapixel digital camera

The Samsung F700 has been equipped with two digital cameras. The front carries a small VGA camera, which mainly serves for video calls. The second camera, on the back, is more enhanced of course. The 3.0 Megapixel digital camera with auto focus as well as flash takes beautiful pictures. A minus is the shutter lag which makes the camera very slow. Sometimes I did not capture what I wanted to capture because I moved the phone before the picture was taken or because the object had gone from the composition before I was able to capture it. The flash has a rather limited effective range and is in fact a LED instead of a flash tube. Still the functionality of an internal flash is evidently apparent. I, myself didn't use it that much though. Moreover if you like to capture an object at a considerable distance, a flash like this creates some unwanted side effects.
