regular view, in which about half of the display is available for viewing the images:

If you require a better view of the images, you can easily switch to full screen view; this

is described in the following.

Full Screen View

When viewing live images in the NetPDA/NetCell Client's regular view, tap the Full Screen icon

to switch to a full screen (rotated) view:

Tip: As an alternative to tapping the Full Screen icon, simply tap anywhere inside the regular
