[Ringofmagicsfriend]

When I go to the 3d camera I press the camera key and then I have to pan from right to left,what does this mean?

[sidharth77777]

Good Video and good describing Thankx

[sonyericssonsupport]

@sidharth77777 Thanks for the comment! Glad the video was helpful to you :) -Josh

[vaske95]

Can I somehow ''insert'' (or whatever) panorama shot?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@vaske95 You could try looking for a different camera app from the Market that has that feature. -Josh

[sonyericssonsupport]

@RichmondIsAwesome I couldn't find that app on the Market using my Neo, however I use another one called Visidon Applock which does the same and works really fine. -Josh

[RichmondIsAwesome]

@sonyericssonsupport Alright,Thanks.But....will face unlock available with phones that are gonna get ICS and have front facing cameras automatically installed on their phone ?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@RichmondIsAwesome Unfortunately we don't have information available of what will be available in the ICS update on our phones, once the release date is closer we should be able to answer your question. I'm sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for. -Josh

[RichmondIsAwesome]

@sonyericssonsupport Ohhh,Okay..Thanks anyways for replying.

[RichmondIsAwesome]

Hi Josh,

I am a owner of the Xperia mini pro,and it's awesome :3

But,the camera..well...when I take pics,it's too blur,but when I view the pics,the quality is awesome :3.Please help

Thanks in advance.

[sonyericssonsupport]

@RichmondIsAwesome I'm not sure if this is normal however is good to know that the pictures quality are good. If possible try to compare to another mini pro to see if it does the same as your phone while taking pictures. -Josh

[phonebox13]

@sonyericssonsupport hi josh, i have this problem too, also i had a vivaz pro, and i think the video quality on the vivaz pro is much bbetter than on this? or am i mistaken?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@phonebox13 I know the video quality of the Vivaz™ pro is good but I have not compared them to be honest. Is been a while since I've used the Vivaz™ and just a few days ago I used a mini pro and transferred a recorded video to a PC which had pretty good quality. -Josh

[phonebox13]

@sonyericssonsupport thank you for the quick reply- imo the vivaz is sharper- i dont know anything about the upgrades but can this be corrected with a firmware update or does that have no relation on the video quality.?

[EigDRecords]

@sonyericssonsupport Hi, just wanted to ask if it is normal for the front camera has a lower quality?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@EigDRecords Yes it is normal. We choose to focus and give better quality on the regular camera since we feel that its main purpose is to capture your treasured moments through pictures and videos, whereas the front camera is basically for video calls and chats. -Josh

[Patrik1990Mega]

@RichmondIsAwesome Same at my Xperia Mini:)

first 1 second the quality awf.

after it's amazing^_^''

[pantelos96]

why xperia mini doesn't have a front camera..?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@pantelos96 That is just the way this phone is designed. The mini pro has one though. -Josh

[pantelos96]

@sonyericssonsupport yes, i mean that you could put a second front camera ;)

[Masfonet2010]

I like this, thank's!!!

[sonyericssonsupport]

@Masfonet2010 Glad that you do! Thanks for the comment :) -Josh

[loofy3333]

[sonyericssonsupport]

@loofy3333 That is my name :) -Josh

[ramiel1501]

I very like this phone.... I wish got one... :)

maybe I get this phone in next year... :)

[deepak4wish]

does this phone zoom using pinch zoom or by using volume keys while taking a picture?

[ThePunisherFTW]

Does it support zoom in while recording?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@ThePunisherFTW If the phone is updated to android 2.3.4 yes it does support zoom while recording. -Josh

[kingele18]

@sonyericssonsupport Could I update the mini x10 

[kaleidoprincess]

damn... i love this phone.....

[LiamCotterz96]

does the camera zoom???

[sonyericssonsupport]

@LiamCotterz96 If you have android 2.3.4 yes it does. -Josh

[Carlospoetic]

PROBLEM?

[MrBootey]

I know this sound a little creppy but, who is the guy narrating the video? His voice is really relaxing...

[bradyiscool34]

Oh and this is an AT&T phone Correct?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@bradyiscool34 No, this phone is not available through AT&T. -Josh

[bradyiscool34]

I meant defiantly, not secco wrapt or whatever it says down there...stupid auto correct! :D

[bradyiscool34]

Hi, I really liked the video, and so far, this is the phone I am secco wrapt going to get for my birthday :) I just have one question, well actually two. Can you buy this phone without a data plan? Because I just want to use it for texting and calling, but I would also like to use wifi every once in a while to get on the Internet, is that possible? And also, everybody knows how almost every android phone has the lock pattern thing, where you have nine little dots, and you draw a pattern to unlo

[sonyericssonsupport]

@bradyiscool34 Yes you could buy this phone unlocked without a data plan, try to contact your local Sony Ericsson support center to see where and if this phone is already available in your country. And yes you can use WIFI to get internet on the phone so not necessarily you need to have an active data plan to have internet as long as you can connect to a WIFI network. -Josh

[jassemcarlos]

does the xperia mini and mini pro have front facing camera?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@jassemcarlos The Mini pro does but the mini doesn't. -Josh

[vae02]

Does it have a caller image?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@vae02 Yes it does. -Josh

[shane1dude]

can i pauze while takeing a video? without totally stop recording only pauze it?

Shane

[sonyericssonsupport]

@shane1dude The default camera app doesn't support that, however you download a camera app from the market that might do that. -Josh

[TheFiqKaizo]

Can i browsing the internet with landscape mode ?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@TheFiqKaizo Yes you can. -Josh

[vin9ktu]

Bought this phone yesterday, How can we use zoom while recording videos?

[tasostselepatiotis]

@vin9ktu it's not possible.

[sonyericssonsupport]

@vin9ktu It is actually possible, I just tried it with one and it does zoom. On the one I used it has android 2.3.4 -Josh

[tasostselepatiotis]

why there isn't any program for making notes pre-installed on the phone ?

[Manmeetthebadboy]

What battery backup can i expect from this phone?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@Manmeetthebadboy It really depends on the type of use you give to the phone. If you are a heavy user then don't expect too much battery life. -Josh

[Manmeetthebadboy]

@sonyericssonsupport Thanks for the support but what do you mean by a heavy user?

[julissupercool]

it haves panoramic ?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@julissupercool No, it doesn't have that option on the camera. -Josh

[thana090909]

No panorama?! NOOOO! X....D

[ab736]

can i text with not using the keyboard, i mean from the screen.

[sonyericssonsupport]

@ab736 Yes, if you want you can use the on-screen keyboard. -Josh

[slipknotdxb]

Josh - I have to start of with tx a million for this video!! I bought the phone 2 weeks back and never knew it had all these options when not in scene recognition mode!! :D Cheers myt!! Loving the phone!! :)

[sonyericssonsupport]

@slipknotdxb HI! and really great you like the phone. Hope you enjoy it a lot and whenever you have a question go ahead and ask :) -Josh

[83gta]

Hi Josh i would like to know something about the background, the problem is clear or not ? I want to buy this phone but it's a big noise =/

[sonyericssonsupport]

@83gta HI, we have recognized this problem and it will be fixed on a future software update. -Josh

[83gta]

@sonyericssonsupport Great if it's can be fixed with a simple ipdate =) ty for the answer

[sufy1000]

What about video recording?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@sufy1000 Yes, it can record video (in HD also!) - Josh

[sufy1000]

@sonyericssonsupport Thanks. Is there zoom when recording a video and what is the best mode for recording video to get the highest quality?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@sufy1000 No, there isn't a zoom option the phone. The best quality to record videos is HD. -Josh

[sufy1000]

@sonyericssonsupport One last question. Can this phone run 3D games like N.O.V.A?

[sonyericssonsupport]

@sufy1000 Yes it can. Honestly I'm not completely positive you can run every HD game on the phone. -Josh
