Palm TREOPROBLKSPT manual My Camera Won’t Take Pictures, Camera Preview Image Looks Strange

Camera

Here are some tips for taking good pictures with the built-in camera:

⬤Clean the camera’s lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.

⬤Take pictures in bright lighting conditions. Low-light images may be grainy, due to the sensitivity of the camera.

⬤Hold the camera as still as possible. Try supporting your picture-taking arm against your body or a stationary object, such as a wall.

⬤Keep the subject of the pictures still. Exposure time is longer with lower light levels, so you may see a blur.

⬤For best results, position the brightest light source behind you, lighting the subject’s face. Avoid taking indoor pictures with the subject in front of a window or light.

⬤Make sure the subject is at least 18 inches (.5 meters) away from the camera to ensure good focus.

The Camera Preview Image Looks Strange

Some third-party applications overwrite the color settings of your Treo Pro smartphone 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.

Did you know? Pictures are 16-bit color. Resolution settings range from 1600 x 1200 to 160 x 120 pixels. Video resolution settings range from 320 x 240 to 176 x 144 pixels.
