Pictures - palmOne Treo 600 Using Manual

Pictures

If your Treo 600 does not include a camera, then the information in this section about
taking pictures does not apply to you. Here are some tips for taking good pictures if
your model includes a camera:
• Clean the camera's lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Take pictures in bright lighting conditions. Low-light images may be grainy, due to
the sensitivity of the camera.
• Hold the camera as still as possible. You may want to support your picture-taking
arm against your body or a stationary object (such as a wall).
• Keep the subject of the pictures still. Exposure time is longer with lower light levels,
so you may see a blur.
• For best results, verify that you have the brightest light source coming from behind
you, lighting the subject's face. Don't take indoor pictures with the subject in front
of a window or light.
• Make sure the subject is at least 18 inches away from the camera to ensure good
focus.
Remember, when you synchronize, your Pictures images are stored in the Treo
Pictures folder on your hard drive (see page 67).
The camera's preview image looks strange
Some third-party applications overwrite the Treo's color settings with their own 8-bit
color settings. This can affect the camera's preview mode. Delete third-party
applications one-by-one until the preview image improves.
When using the camera in low light, you may see blue specks on the screen. Once
you capture the image, the quality improves, and many of the blue specks disappear.
The built-in camera takes
pictures at Small picture
size (160x120 pixels) and
Large picture size
(640x480 pixels, or .3
megapixel).
