Camera
With camera phones all the rage these days, the RAZR V3 follows suit. As
mentioned earlier, the camera lens is mounted above the external display.
Users will be able to capture images at 3 resolution qualities: MMS (160
x 120 px), Medium (320 x 240 px), and High (640 x 480 px).

Get closer to the action with the V3's 4X digital zoom. Regrettably,
the V3 doesn't use optical zoom, which is true zoom. Digital zoom merely
enlarges by increasing picture size much like editing images on a PC. Photos
taken with the RAZR V3's internal camera may not be high enough in resolution
for quality photo prints.
Take self-portraits with ease with the RAZR V3's "Smart Key." Upon
pressing it, the viewfinder switches from the internal to the external
display, so users can watch the external viewfinder while aiming the camera
lens.
Additionally, the RAZR V3 has a decent set of features bundled with the
camera. Auto-Timed Capture allows users to take those large group shots.
While image correction functions such as Lighting Conditions (Sunny, Cloudy,
Indoor Home, Indoor Office, Night, etc.) and Exposure Correction gives users
complete control of resulting pictures.
 However,
a drawback with V3 camera is the lack of image processing tools. Most
phones on the market today have post-imaging filters such as artistic effects
(Black and White, Sepia, Solarization, and Negative modes) or fun frames to
border photos. Tools that allow creative photographers to add a touch of
personality right on the phone.
Photos captured with the V3 are in JPEG format. Multimedia can be sent
in text messages, as email attachments, or transferred to PC via Bluetooth
connection or cable.
With a built-in camera, users will be able to take photos while on the move.
All images are saved in the Picture Album where they can be viewed as a
slideshow at a later time.
