Sony Ericsson C510 Cyber-shot Mobile Phone

07 Apr, 2009, 2:00 pm IST | Shayne Rana | Mobile phones

Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP worked just fine for transferring files form one device to another or using a Stereo Bluetooth headset, but I couldn’t get the handset to connect with my PC for anything. When it did find the PC it refused to pair and ended up simply hanging the handset all the time. Of course this could be some issue with my PC but it didn’t seem to have a problem connecting to other handsets.

Misc. Features
Every standard feature is clearly present in the C510’s feature list. These include – A Calendar for keeping appointments and schedules, Alarm Clock, Task manager, Notes, Times, Stopwatch, a Code memo feature and a calculator.

Camera
The camera is the best feature that the C510 possesses, other than its chic design of course. It’s equipped with plenty of settings, the main one being Smile Shutter which works with the camera’s face detection technology to provide clear images of subjects in the frame.

Other features include a manual Panorama mode, various scene modes, White balance and Burst mode. As usual the self timer is set for 12 seconds only with no other option to change it.

The macro mode setting was quite impressive. I liked the reproduction of colors and textures in the images and I was also able to get quite up close and personal with the subjects.

Normal daylight images were also quite good with a fair level of details retained. In landscape mode however, if not set on a timer and the handset kept absolutely still, the images didn’t look as good with a slight blurring in certain portions. Same issue with the Twilight landscape setting.
