Before Using the Camera
•
Fingerprints and smudges on the lens prevent capture of clear still
pictures/video. Before capturing images, wipe the lens clean with a
soft cloth. Rubbing forcefully may scratch the lens.
•
Avoid fingers, hair, strap, etc. from covering the lens or mobile light
during image capture. Hold the strap if it interferes with capture.
•
If capturing images with the mobile light on, its light reflecting from
fingers, a cover, etc. around the lens can cause captured still
pictures/video to turn out whitish.
•
When capturing video, avoid covering the microphone with fingers.
Loudness of voices and surroundings during video capture may
affect the sound quality of the microphone.
•
When using the self-timer for image capture and the product is
placed on an unstable surface, the product vibrating such as when
a call arrives or other conditions may cause the product to fall.
•
Even in manner mode, the focus lock beep and shutter click for still
pictures and start and stop beeps for video sound. The volume
cannot be adjusted.
•
Exposure of the lens for extended periods to direct sunlight or other
sources of strong light may discolor the internal color filter and
cause discoloration in still pictures/video.
•
Capturing or saving still pictures/video after the product has been
left in a warm place for an extended period may affect the still
pictures/video.
•
The camera comprises high-precision components, and includes
pixels that are always on or that do not light. Image capture in
extremely dark conditions will result in blue, red, and white dots, etc.
•
Release the shutter after confirming that the subject is properly
displayed in the main display. Moving the camera while releasing the
shutter may cause still pictures to be blurry.
•
When capturing images indoors under fluorescent lighting, faint
stripes may be visible on the screen from fluorescent light flickering
(very faint, invisible to the human eye), but is not a malfunction.
•
The color of still pictures/video captured with the product camera
may differ from the actual subject. Images may appear partially
darker or brighter due to the characteristics of the lens and
depending on the subject and illumination when capturing. Subjects
may also appear partially distorted.
•
Subjecting the product to shock while capturing images may cause
the camera to lose focus. If focus is lost, activate the camera again.
•
Focusing may not be possible for the following types of subjects.
･
Low-contrast subjects such as plain walls
･
Subjects with strong backlighting
･
Shiny subjects that reflect light brightly
･
Subjects with a pattern that repeats horizontally such as blinds
･
Several subjects with differing distances from the camera
･
Subjects in dark conditions
･
Fast-moving subjects
•
Do not shine the mobile light near eyes. Do not look directly into
shining mobile light. Do not shine mobile light at other persons’ eyes.
Doing so may affect vision or cause other impairment.
•
Faint sound may audible when using the camera such as when
activating the camera. This is from the internal components and is
normal.
•
Directly capturing the sun, a lamp, or other strong source of light
may cause still pictures/video to be dark or noise may appear.
•
The screen may appear momentarily white or dark when capturing a
moving subject or when moving from light to dark conditions. Noise
may also momentarily appear.
•
Noise may increase and result in grainy still pictures when capturing
in dark conditions.
•
Immediately after switching camera modes or changing camera
settings, it may take time for brightness, color, etc. to be displayed
optimally.
•
Creating a public nuisance with use of the product camera may be
punishable by law.
•
If the battery level is less than
(about 10%), the camera cannot
be activated.
