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, or can be sent via i-
mode Mail as attachments.
･
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.
Using the camera
･
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 cause stripes to appear on the screen, but this is not a malfunction. Strips may be
reduced by changing the distance or the angle of shooting the object or by moving to another position.
･
Images taken with the camera may differ from the actual subjects in color and brightness, depending
on conditions.
･
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.
･
To shoot, hold FOMA terminal firmly and then keep a camera stable. If you use auto timer, the shutter
is automatically released, and you can avoid blurring of images due to hand movement.
･
Do not cover the lens with fingers or strap.
･
Set brightness depending on the situation of the shooting.

.
･
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 the
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 memory to save, do not remove the miniSD memory card
while using the camera. FOMA terminal may malfunction.
･
You may not be able to shoot when the available space in the miniSD memory card is not enough.
Before shooting, check that there is enough available space in the miniSD memory card to save
images.
