Camera

The camera is easy enough to operate. The dedicated button will launch the camera in about 2 seconds. The O2 snaps images in about 1 second when you press the shutter button. No auto-focus to slow things down. No flash, either.

I like the O2's camera menu. Rather than open up a slew of menus, it simply opens a dock along the bottom on the screen. Using the D-pad you can slide through the dock and make all of your adjustments while still able to see your subject. This makes adjusting the camera much faster. You can alter the brightness setting without opening the menu. In the highest resolution setting, you cannot zoom.

Upon taking a picture, you can save or trash the image, or share it through HelioUp.

 

Gallery

It's easiest to get to the gallery from the camera. Just press the soft key that says "Review" to access your images and videos. The gallery defaults to portrait view. You have to open the phone to force it into landscape mode if that's how you want to look at your pictures. The album itself is a grid of thumbnails.

Once you open an image, you can use the D-pad to scroll through your library, or use the optical mouse to swipe sideways through the gallery.
