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 99).

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.
