If your Treo does not have a built-in camera, then the information in this section about
taking photos does not apply to you.
Here are some tips for taking good photos with the built-in camera:
• Clean the camera’s lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Take photos in bright lighting conditions. Low-light images may be grainy, due
to the sensitivity of the camera.
• Hold the camera as still as possible. You may want to support your photo-taking
arm against your body or a stationary object (such as a wall).
• Keep the subject of the photos still. Exposure time is longer with lower light levels,
so you may see a blur.
• For best results, verify that you have the brightest light source coming from behind
you, lighting the subject’s face. Avoid taking indoor photos with the subject in front
of a window or light.
• Make sure the subject is at least 18 inches away from the camera to ensure
good focus.
Remember, when you synchronize, your Camera images are stored in the My
Pictures/palmOne Photos folder on your hard drive (see “Viewing photos and videos
on your computer” on page 97).
The Camera preview image looks strange
Some third-party applications overwrite the Treo’s color settings with their own 8-bit
color settings. This can affect the Camera Preview Mode. Delete third-party
applications one by one until the preview image improves.
Photos are 16-bit color at a
maximum of 640 x 480
pixels (0.3 megapixels) in
VGA resolution or 320 x
240 pixels in QVGA
resolution. Videos are
352 x 288 pixels in CIF
resolution or 176 x 144
pixels QCIF in resolution.
