Camera
Before Using the Camera
You can record images using the built-in
camera, and you can send them by attaching
to i-mode mail, posting on a blog, setting for
the stand-by display, and so on.
When you save an image to the microSD
memory card, you can also select a mode to
save a replicated image of smaller size in the
FOMA terminal at the same time (P.178, 319).
To use the microSD memory card, you need to
obtain a microSD memory card separately. If
you do not have a microSD memory card, you
can purchase one at a home electric appliance
store or other similar store (P.306).

The image recorded by the camera may differ from
actual color or brightness of object.
About Using the Camera
Notes Before Using the Camera

Clear images cannot be obtained if the camera
lens is stained with fingerprints or grease. Wipe the
camera with a soft clean cloth before recording an
image.

Leaving the FOMA terminal in a place exposed to
direct sunlight or high temperature for a long period
of time may deteriorate the image quality.

You cannot start the Camera mode when the battery
level is very low. To use the camera, charge the
battery sufficiently.

The Camera mode may not be activated when the
FOMA terminal is charged electrostatically.

When you post or send an image recorded by the
camera, it is at your own risk to decide whether
or not to share your location information attached
to the image. If you do not want to send location
information, set the Auto attach loc. info to [OFF]
(P.171).
Notes on Using the Camera

To prevent shaking, hold the FOMA terminal firmly
or place it on a stable place and use the Auto timer
when recording.

When you try to record a strong light source directly,
such as the sun or a lamp, the screen may black out
or the image on the screen may be distorted.

The camera is manufactured based on the leading
edge technologies. Nevertheless, black and bright
points or lines may appear constantly in the display.
Additionally, increased noise may appear as white

These are not malfunctions.

When the battery level becomes very low in the
Camera mode, the Camera mode is terminated.
