LG Telecom Opens Exhibition for Phone Photos

LG Telecom holds CanU Camera Phone Photo Exhibition in its 30 outlets nationwide until December 31 in an attempt to show off the beauty of pictures taken by CanU Camera phones, the company announced Tuesday.

Although there are dozens of types of camera phones on the market, LGT explained, it is the first off-line exhibition showing pictures taken only by camera phones.

CanU, a 2-megapixel CCD camera phone, features the Best Shot function allowing various shooting modes such as portrait, landscape and night landscape shots, so that even beginners can take pictures as well as experts, the mobile carrier emphasized.
