Before Using Camera - Docomo LYNX SH-10B Instruction Manual

Before using camera

Fingerprints or oil on the lens may cause the image to be out of focus. In
addition, images may blur and rays of light may appear in images when
shot near a strong light source. Wipe the lens with a soft cloth before
shooting images.
You cannot shoot when battery level is insufficient. Images may appear
dark and distorted when shot with insufficient battery power even while
the handset is charging. Do not shoot images while charging.
Although the cameras are made with high-precision technology, some
pixels or lines look constantly dark or bright. Further, white lines and
other noise may appear in images especially when shooting images in
dimly lit surroundings.
The quality of images may deteriorate when shot or saved after the
FOMA terminal has been left in a warm location for a long time.
If the camera lens is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the
internal color filter may discolor, creating a discoloration of shot images.
Images shot in shooting conditions which include the sun, a light or other
strong light source may appear dark and distorted.
Shooting the sun directly may damage the performance of the CMOS.
The FOMA terminal may become warm and the camera may end after
shooting still pictures continuously, shooting long moving pictures, or
activating the camera for a long time. This is not a malfunction. Use the
camera again after a while.
When Focus Settings is switched, sounds may be heard from the camera
lens. This is not a malfunction.
Images are blurred when the FOMA terminal moves while shooting
images. Hold securely to prevent blurring. Use Steady cam function
when shooting still pictures.
The color and brightness of the subject in images shot with the camera
may differ from the actual color and brightness.
Make sure that your fingers, hair and handset strap do not obscure the
camera lens when shooting images.
Because a larger image size requires more data, movement in the image
on the FOMA terminal display may appear slow.

Indoor fluorescent lighting may create flickering or streaky shading on the
screen. This flickering or shading may be reduced by changing the
lighting conditions, brightness or adjusting the camera brightness and
white balance.
Shot still pictures are saved in DCF1.0 (ExifVer.2.2, JPEG) format.
• "DCF" (Design rule for Camera File system) is a standard created
mainly by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association) for images from digital cameras and other
devices to be shared with related devices. However, DCF standard
does not guarantee the entire compatibility of all devices.
• "Exif" is a file format established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and
Information Technology Industries Association) for adding
supplementary information to the still picture.
The camera is not available while using 1Seg.
Performance while using camera
In each camera mode, if no operations are performed for approximately 3
minutes, the camera mode automatically ends and the stand-by display
reappears. Unsaved data is saved and the scanned result is deleted.
In each camera mode, Picture Light cannot be on after lighting on for 3
minutes in total. End each camera mode and reactivate it to put Picture
Light on.
The shutter sound can be changed (nP. 132). The shutter sound
volume cannot be changed.
