Camera and multimedia playback

As in that case, we find an LED flash , as well as an image stabilizer and a smile detector , so that the photo is taken automatically. Some of the novelties in this section can be found in the link between this section and the internet , specifically, with the possibility ofInstantly upload the image to a photoblog , or pin it on Google Maps , so that everyone knows where the photo was captured.
