How to capture Time Shift images on your BlackBerry Z10

The BlackBerry Z10 is a top-notch smartphone which has some interesting and unique features. Among them is RIM’s Time Shift photography function, which allows the device to capture a number of images from which the user can select the best one.

It isn’t a terribly difficult function to make use of, but if you’re having issues getting started with it then read through this short guide and you’ll be snapping perfect images in no time!

• Grab your BlackBerry Z10
• Select the ‘Camera’ icon from your home screen
• Choose the ‘Camera’ icon once again, this time from within the camera app
• Ensure the ‘Time Shift’ icon is selected
• Take your photo and hold the camera as still as possible until the image is displayed
• Now simply use the slider at the bottom of the screen to choose the optimum image
• If you don’t like any of them select the ‘Trash’ icon to ditch them all
• Or just choose the one you like and hit ‘Tick’ to save!

How to send a file using NFC on your BlackBerry Z10

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a handy technology which allows you to send and receive data without going through the annoyance of ‘pairing’ your device with another. You can send and receive images, contact cards or even pay for a sandwich in the supermarket just by touching your device to another.

If you’re keen to start using NFC but aren’t quite sure how, then you can kick-off your experience by learning how to send a file using the tech – and here’s how:

• Grab your BlackBerry Z10
• Navigate to the file you want to send, this can an individual item or a group
• Tap the ‘Share’ icon
• Select ‘NFC’
• Bring your device up to another compatible device, back to back
• When prompted, hit ‘Send’
• Your file(s) will send quickly and easily

How to get a smile in every photo with your BlackBerry Z10

We briefly touched upon using Time Shift to ensure you capture a great image every time in an earlier guide, and this time we’re focussing (no pun intended) on another key feature of RIM’s photographic app – the ability to swap out people’s faces in an image until you have a good one for every subject you’re photographing.

It really couldn’t be easier, but if you need a shove in the right direction then read on…and then get snapping!

• As detailed in our previous guide, grab your BlackBerry Z10, ensure Time Shift is on and take your images
• Select the best image with the slider at the bottom of the screen
• Next, tap the face that you want to swap-out
• Using the dial, choose the one you want from the available expressions
• Tap anywhere on the display
• Hit the ‘Tick’ to save!
