Before using the camera
Still images and videos can be shot with your FOMA terminal camera. Still images and videos can
be displayed/played on FOMA terminal or saved to the miniSD memory card, can be sent via
i-mode Mail as attachments or can be sent via infrared communication.
･
The miniSD memory card is not included in the bundle. If you have no miniSD memory card, you can
purchase it at electric appliance stores.
･
Note that though the camera is manufactured using extremely accurate technology, some pixels and
lines may always be displayed to be 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 flicker on the screen, 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.

･
Images taken with the camera may differ from the actual subjects in color and brightness, depending
on conditions.
･
When you activate Camera or auto focus or switch the in-/out-camera, a motor sound may be heard,
but this is not a malfunction.
･
The in-camera in FOMA terminal uses CMOS technology. Note that in darker places, a CMOS camera
may take a slightly grainier picture compared to one taken by an out-camera (regular CCD camera)
and this grainess is not an error.
･
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.
･
Set the brightness depending on the situation of the shooting.

The compact light can be used for shooting in a dark place.

･
There is a small time lag between taking a picture and pressing
o
or
C
. Do not move FOMA
terminal for period after pressing
o
or
C
. If you shoot a fast moving subject, the shot image might
slightly differ from the subject displayed on the screen when you press
o
or
C
.
･
If you shoot the quickly moving subjects in the Movie Camera mode, the image may be blurred.
･
When you direct the camera toward yourself by using the in-camera, the screen displays a mirror
image, but shot still images and videos are normal. For still images, setting
Auto save of Still Image
Setting to No can be used to save as mirror images.
･
When you use the camera from i-
α
ppli, the shot still images and the recorded videos are not saved in
Image (My Picture) or i-motion folder but saved in i-
α
ppli (some i-
α
ppli versions save them in i-mode
folder or Deco-Mail picture folder). Shot images and videos may be automatically sent to the server.
･
When the miniSD memory card is set as the destination, do not remove the miniSD memory card while
using the camera. FOMA terminal may malfunction.
･
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.
･
Some settings may require extra time to show an image on the shooting screen after you start the camera.
