Image Format Conversion
Some devices, particularly battery-powered devices such as phones and cameras, may only
be able to accept images in one format and at a single fixed resolution. In that case, the
image is converted to the required format and resolution before it is transferred to the remote
device.
Create an Imaging Connection
Imaging application connections are created automatically on an as-needed basis.
To send an image to the remote imaging device:
1. In
Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood
, drag-and-drop the
image file onto the destination’s device icon.
2. In Windows Explorer, right-click an image file and, from the
shortcut menu, select
Copy
. Then, in
Entire Bluetooth
Neighborhood
, right-click the destination device, and, from
the shortcut menu, select
Paste
.
3. If a shortcut to the remote device’s imaging service exists in
My Bluetooth Places
, drag-and-drop, or, copy-and-paste, to
that shortcut.
Close an Imaging Connection
Imaging connections close automatically when the image transfer is complete.
To abort the image transfer, click
Cancel
in the transfer dialog box.
Configure
The Bluetooth Configuration Panel
> Client Applications > Imaging > General tab
provides
options to configure:
The application name
- to change it, highlight the existing
name and enter the new name.

Remote Camera Operation
Remote operation of the Bluetooth imaging device, such as the ability to trip a camera’s
shutter or browse the images on a device, may be possible, depending on the functions
supported by the remote device.
There are three prerequisites:
This computer must be running under the Windows XP
operating system.
The remote imaging device must support the action. See the
remote imaging device’s documentation for information about
the remote functions the device supports.
The remote imaging device must be installed on this
computer (see below).
Install an Imaging Device
1. Perform a search for devices and then, from
Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood
, right-
click a Bluetooth imaging device, and select
Add Camera
from the shortcut menu.
Windows installs the camera and adds it to the
Cameras and Scanners
section of
My Computer
.
