10.2 Using the Album application

Album allows you to view image and video files, and play audio files. Four view modes are

available:

Thumbnail, Detailed, Slide Show, and Full Screen.

To start Album:

• Select

Start > Programs > Album.

• If currently in Camera mode, you can tap the

Thumbnail icon at the bottom of the Camera

screen to switch to Album in the Thumbnail view mode.

File formats supported

Of course, in addition to the image files and video files you capture yourself (using the

Camera application and your Pocket PC Phone’s built-in camera), you can also get image,

video, and audio files from other sources such as received E-mail, a Storage Card, infrared

beaming, synchronized from a PC via ActiveSync, etc. Listed below are the file formats that

Thumbnail View

The first time you start the Album program, the Thumbnail view mode will be active. You

can specify any folder to be searched for the supported file types, by tapping the Folder

field (under the Title Bar at the top of the screen), and then tapping the desired folder name

in the list. This is illustrated on the next page.
You can manually change the position of a thumbnail simply by pressing your stylus on

it and then dragging it to the desired location. To select multiple thumbnails, press your

stylus in an empty part of the screen, then drag your stylus across all thumbnails you want

to include in the multi-selection.
