Before using camera
Using camera
I
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. Note that, in
addition, images shot under very low light
intensity contain increased noise such as white
lines, but it is not a malfunction.
I
If FOMA terminal is left in a warm place or
exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, still
images and movies to be shot may be
deteriorated.
I
When you attempt to take a photo of a strong
light source such as the sun or a lamp, the still
image or movie may become dark or degraded.
I
Depending on the characteristics of the lens,
distorted still images or movies may be
displayed.
I
Shooting still images or movies 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.
I
Still images or movies taken with the camera
may differ from actual subjects in color and
brightness, depending on conditions.
I
When the camera or Auto focus is being
activated or the camera is being switched, a
motor sound may be heard, but this is not a
malfunction of the FOMA terminal.
Points of concern when shooting with
camera
I
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.
I
Be careful not to cover the lens with fingers when
shooting images.
I
Depending on the environmental conditions,
images shot even in Night mode may contain
some noise.
I
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.
I
There is a small time lag between taking a picture
and pressing
g
or side key [
▲
]. Do not move
FOMA terminal for a while after pressing
g
or
side key [ ▲ ]. If you take a fast moving subject,
the image taken might slightly differ from the
subject displayed in the screen when you press
g
or side key [ ▲ ].
I
If you shoot the quickly moving subjects when
recording a movie, the image may be blurred.
I
When you direct the in-camera toward yourself,
the screen displays a mirror image. The shot still
images and movies are saved as normal images.
When Auto save is set to "No", the still images
can also be saved as mirror images.
I
When you use the camera with i-
α
ppli, the taken
still image and the recorded movies are not
saved in My Picture or i-motion folder, but saved
in i-
α
ppli (in "i-mode" folder or "Deco-mail
picture" folder for some i-
α
ppli). Shot images
and movies may be automatically sent to the
server.
I
When microSD memory card is set as the
destination, do not remove the microSD memory
card while using the camera. It may damage the
FOMA terminal.
I
If battery power goes out before saving shot still
image or recorded movie, the shot image is
abandoned.
I
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do
not leave the camera activated long time or do
not keep shot images long time without being
saved.
I
Some settings may require extra time for an
image to be displayed on the shooting screen
when you start the camera.
