Section 7A: Help

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 away from the camera to ensure good focus.

Remember that when you synchronize, your Camera images are stored in the following
folder on your hard drive (see “Synchronizing Your Media Files” on page 205):

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\name> My Documents.

Windows Vista: C:\Users\\Pictures.

My Camera Won’t Take Pictures

If your company uses Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager, contact your system
administrator to find out whether the camera features are disabled on your Treo.

The Camera Preview Image Looks Strange

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