It’s time for the camera. It’s a very positive surprise. Although it doesn’t give us too many features, photos are very decent. In good light, shots are nice, though sometimes the colours are exaggerated and with lots of details. In a worse light, a little image noise appears, but still the amount of it is not enough reason for criticism. The camera has perfectly working autofocus, which action can be controlled with the touch of the selected field on the screen (also to trigger the shutter in the same way). You can focus the camera within a few centimeters, and with one touch on the screen you can change it instantly to infinity. Here's a small demo:

Digital Zoom is far from drama, which usually involves the use of this option. You will see a loss of detail, but the picture can be seen. In the case of many - even the top smartphones - this is not so obvious.

Now it’s time to take a few sample shots. You can watch them, in a natural and unchanged format, in the gallery, on the phone card.

I would add that the camera allows us to change the white balance, exposure, contrast, saturation, sharpness and sensitivity in the range of 100-800 ISO. As for the accessories - we only have the switch option of the LED lamp and face detection. We can also take advantage of the color effects: grey, sepia, negative and solarization. These effects are also available in the video recording mode. Here we have HD or FullHD as possible format, and the effects are really good. The videos are smooth and rich in details, and the autofocus works only slightly slower than when taking pictures. Unfortunately, here we can no longer set it by touching the screen…
