The 5-megapixel camera is one of the Nokia C5-03's most underrated features. Yes, there's no flash but the low-light mode is surprisingly effective, and elsewhere it's a more than capable snapper for a lower mid-range phone. Here we take a quick run-through of the on-board editing features.

Nokia has equipped the Nokia C5-03 with a decent helping of photographic smarts, and that extends to the editing features on board after you've taken your snaps.

To take a run-through those features, you'll first need a photo to work on. Press the Menu button, then tap Gallery, then Images & video. Tap on the photo you want to play around with, and it'll load in full-screen mode. A further tap on the image will load some on-screen functions – tap Options, then Edit from the menu that appears.

The easiest way to bring up the full menu of editing features on screen is simply to tap the image again, but you can achieve the same result by tapping Options, then Add effect. There are a generous 15 different settings to adjust, so let's take a quick run-through of what's on offer.

The top row of three icons cover some photo-editing basics – Brightness, Contrast and Sharpness – and making changes is as simple as adjusting the slider that pops up on screen when you tap the icon. Usefully, the changes are previewed on your image in the background, so if you're not happy, simply tap Cancel and you'll revert to the image as it was. If you're happy, however, tap OK.

The second row lets you resize, crop and rotate your image. The crop feature gives you the option to automatically trim your image to use as your Nokia C5-03's wallpaper, or you can simply select Manual to drag the crop marks manually and cut the image to your exact requirements.

The third row of icons is devoted to having a bit of fun by adding speech bubbles, clip art images and text to your picture – to use these features, simply select the effect or type in the text you want to add, then tap where you want it to appear on screen.

Next up are more global visual effects – a one-touch posterise tool, the ability to add a choice of 30 frames and a red-eye reduction tool. The final tow of three tools enables you to convert your image instantly into black and white, sepia or negative form.

At any point, tapping the Options menu and selecting Undo will remove the most recent effect you've applied. You can save at any time, meanwhile, by going into the same Options menu and selecting Save – you'll be given the choice of saving your image with a new name, or overwriting the original.

If you tap Back at any point while editing you'll automatically be asked whether you want to save or not; select Yes and you'll go through the process outlined above, while No will see you exit without further ado.
