Before using the camera
You can shoot still images and videos with the
FOMA terminal’s camera. Still images and videos
can be displayed/played on the FOMA terminal or
saved to the microSD memory card. Also they
can be sent via i-mode Mail as attachments or via
infrared/iC communication.
The camera is on the back of the FOMA terminal.
Precautions for using the camera
Shooting can be performed no matter if the FOMA
terminal is closed or opened. Hold your FOMA terminal
firmly to shoot, as shown in the illustration below.
･
When shooting, be careful not to move the FOMA
terminal.
･
Do not cover the lens with fingers or strap.
･
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, keep a distance of at least 50 cm from
the object. Switch to the macro mode when you want to
shoot the object from a closer position.

･
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.

･
Though the camera is manufactured with extremely
accurate technology, some pixels and lines may
always be displayed lighter or darker than you expect.
Noises such as dots and lines may increase especially
when you shoot in a place with very low light intensity,
but note that such noises are 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.

･
Images taken with the camera may differ from the
actual objects in color and brightness, depending
on conditions.
･
Set the brightness depending on the situation of the
shooting.
☛

･
When the microSD memory card is set as the
destination, do not remove the microSD memory
card while using the camera. The 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.
･
If no action is taken on the shooting screen for
about 1 minute, Still Camera/Movie Camera
terminates automatically by default. The camera
time-out setting can be changed.
