still images or video you shot on your FOMA
terminal. Also you can send them via i-mode Mail
as attachments or via infrared communication.
Precautions for using the camera
About the camera
･
Though the camera is manufactured using extremely
accurate technology, some pixels and lines may
always be displayed lighter or darker than you expect.
Noise such as dots and lines may increase especially
when you shoot in a place with very low light intensity,
but note that such noise is not a malfunction.
･
When the lens is exposed to direct sunlight for a
long period of time, the inside color filter will
become discolored and images may be
correspondingly discolored as well.
･
When you attempt to shoot a strong light source
such as the sun or a lamp or when the battery level
is low, the image may become dark or degraded.
･
Depending on the characteristics of the lens,
displayed images may be distorted.
･
Capturing under illumination flickering at high
frequencies such as fluorescent lights, mercury vapor
lights, or sodium lights may make the screen flicker,
but this is not a malfunction. Flickers may be reduced
by changing the distance or the angle of shooting the
object or by moving to another position. In addition,
flickers can be reduced by flicker adjustment. ☛P155
･
Images taken with the camera may differ from the
actual subjects in color and brightness, depending
on conditions.
To shoot clean images
Hold your FOMA terminal firmly to shoot, as shown in
the illustration below.
･
When shooting, be careful not to move FOMA
terminal.

･
Be careful not to cover the lens with fingers or
strap, especially when you hold FOMA terminal
vertically to shoot still images or video.
･
Use of auto timer is effective to avoid camera shake
because the shutter is automatically released.
･
To shoot a video, use the shake reduction function.
☛P154
Points of concern when shooting images
･
If the lens is contaminated with fingerprints or skin
oil, you cannot shoot clean images. Use a soft cloth
to remove any such contaminants before shooting.
･
When shooting with the camera, keep a distance of
at least 50 cm from the object. Switch to the macro
mode when you want to come closer to the object
to shoot. ☛P152
･
Set the brightness depending on the situation of the
shooting. ☛P154
There is a small time lag after you press C or
･
o until the image is shot. Do not move your FOMA
terminal for a while after pressing C or o. If
you shoot a fast moving object, the shot image may
slightly differ from the image you see on the screen
before pressing C or o.
･
If you shoot a quickly moving object with Movie
Camera, the image may be blurred.
･
If the battery power goes out before saving a shot
still image or video, it is not saved.
･
Because the camera consumes a lot of battery power,
do not leave the camera activated long time or do not
keep shot images long time without being saved.
･
If no action is taken on the shooting screen for about 1
minute, Still Camera/Movie Camera terminates
automatically by default. You can change the time
period before termination. ☛P150
･
Some settings may require extra time to show an
image on the shooting screen after you start the
camera.
･
Some functions cannot be used or some settings
cannot be changed when the camera is started from
the phonebook, mail or i-
