Pictures hub

The Pictures hub is Windows Phone's digital
version of those pictures in your wallet. Show
off all the pictures you took with the camera
on your phone, saved from an email, text
message, or off of the web, or downloaded
from your PC.
• Times Square wall. A showcase of local
pictures from your All view. The mosaic of
picture-perfect moments changes every 5th
time you turn on your phone. If you sync
your phone using the Zune software before
you visit the Pictures hub, you'll see your
pictures here when you arrive.
• What's New. These are the latest pictures
your friends and family uploaded to
Windows Live or Facebook.
• Picture collection. You can view your
pictures and videos by album, date, or
favorites. When you add a picture as a
favorite as part of your Favorites album,
you can then pin that album to the Start
screen.
• Hub background. Tap anywhere in the
hub to change the background or let us do
it for you using any of your pictures. Either
way, changing the background will also
change the Pictures tile on the Start screen.
• Zune software. Sync files with my phone
to move pictures from your PC into albums
on your phone and vice versa.

NOTE
When you go to the Pictures hub for the first
time, you'll see 8 pictures from the 7 folder in
the Times Square wall. To see a mosaic of your
own pictures here, you need to tap and hold the
7 folder to delete it. The Times Square wall will
now randomly pull in pictures from your Camera
Roll as well as albums you sync from your PC or
your social networking sites.
• Some file formats are not supported
depending on the software of the phone.
