Before using camera
･
Shutter sound is emitted even when "Silent" is set for volume settings or in Silent
mode or Public mode.
･
When camera is used, the shooting indication light turns on and blinks in red in
accordance with the light.
･
During still image shooting, the image changes its orientation or vertical/
horizontal positions according to FOMA terminal position.
→ P188
･
If no operations are performed for approximately 3 minutes during shooting
stand-by, camera ends.
･
For Still camera, contrast is corrected automatically while shooting a subject
against the sun etc.
･
There are some unavailable functions or settings when Camera is activated from
phonebook, mail or i-
α
ppli.
･
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 taking photos.
･
Be careful not to cover the lens with fingers when shooting images.
･
Be careful of hand movement. Though FOMA terminal provides shake reduce
function, it may become less effective for some shooting environment and/or
object. Hold FOMA terminal firmly so that it does not move; or use of Auto timer
function with FOMA terminal placed in a stable location is recommended. Auto
timer is only available when shooting still images.
･
There is some time lag after the shutter tone sounds and until the actual shooting
takes place. Do not move FOMA terminal for a while after you hear shutter sound.
･
Images shot with the camera with i-
α
ppli are saved in the i-
α
ppli ("i-mode" folder
or "Deco-mail picture" folder for some i-
α
ppli). In some cases, automatically sent
to the server.
･
If battery power is low before saving shot image, the shot image is discarded.
･
As the camera consumes the battery power very quickly, do not leave the camera
activated for a long time or do not leave shot images unsaved for a long time.
◆
Precautions for using camera
･
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.
Images shot under very low light intensity contain increased noise such as white
lines, but it is not a malfunction.
･
If FOMA terminal is left in a warm place or exposed to direct sunlight for a long
time, images to be shot may be deteriorated.
･
When attempting to take a photo of a strong light source such as the sun or a
lamp, images may become dark or degraded.
･
For some characteristics of the lens, distorted images are displayed.
･
Shooting images under illumination flickering at high frequency such as
fluorescent lamp, mercury vapor lamp or sodium vapor lamp may cause the
screen to flicker or stripe patterns to appear on the screen, which is called flicker
phenomena, giving different coloring for some shooting timings. Flickers or
stripes may be reduced by adjusting the brightness for shooting.
･
Images shot with the camera may differ from actual subjects in color and
brightness.
･
If you shoot a fast moving object, the position of the object in the image may
slightly differ from the position displayed on the screen when the shutter tone
sounded.
･
If you shoot the quickly moving subjects when recording a movie, the image may
be blurred.
･
When Movie camera and Sound recorder are used, the sound is recorded from
the microphone. Do not cover it with your fingers.
･
Some settings may require extra time for an image to be displayed on the
shooting screen when starting the camera.
◆ Shooting procedure
■ Shooting with FOMA terminal open
Use out-camera to take a picture of a person or landscape, or use in-camera to take
a picture of yourself. Also, you can take a picture of yourself displaying the out-
camera image on the sub-display. Using in-camera or sub-display, image is
displayed in mirror image form, but saved as the normal image.
■ Shooting with FOMA terminal folded
When activating camera with FOMA terminal folded ( → P34, 295) or folding FOMA
terminal with the shooting stand-by screen displayed, you can shoot by out-camera
with FOMA terminal folded.
