Loaded with lots of great features and the Android™ 2.2 platform, the Droid Charge is built to keep you connected when you're on the go. Here's a look at some of the things you can do with this powerful smartphone.
Camera
Remaining in Camera Mode: When using the camera, press the Lock key (it's also the Power key for the phone) so that the phone locks and stays in Camera mode, even if another key is pressed by accident. This will ensure that other features on the phone aren't unintentionally opened. Simply press the Power key again to unlock Camera mode.
Choosing the Focal Point of a Photo: When the camera is activated, the user can touch the screen to move the guideline to the focal point of the photograph instead of keeping it at the center.
