Features and functions
Built-in CommuniCam
The built-in camera is capable of taking still pictures up
to common image format (CIF) resolution (352x 288
pixels) and 24 bit colour depth. The lens is recessed into
the back of the T610/612. The viewfinder will fill up the
whole screen, irrespective of the resolution at which the
picture is taken. A dedicated hardware button provides
fast access to the camera application.
Images are stored in the phone’s filing system and are
therefore available for other applications to use. The
number of images that can be stored depends on the
available file space, which is shared with other applica-
tions. The viewfinder will give an estimation of the
number of images remaining, assuming that all of the
free storage is available for the camera application and
using the current settings for size and quality. Approxi-
mate JPEG file sizes are 20 kbytes for CIF.
Saved images may be viewed in the image viewer appli-
cation, and are available for use by other applications in
T610/612 such as MMS and e-mail.
The camera is optimised for ‘point-and-shoot’ speed.
The first press on the CommuniCam button will switch
on the viewfinder. Each subsequent press on the button
will then act as a shutter release and take a picture.
Settings are accessed via softkeys and include: Image
size – Large/Small, default picture name and a flicker-
free mode setting.
Pictures
Pictures is the T610/12’s image viewer. It enables you to
view and organise your photographs, including pictures
taken by the built-in camera plus images loaded from
elsewhere, such as received via e-Mail. Pictures supports
image types JPEG, BMP, GIF, MBM, PNG and WBMP.
Pictures can be viewed in thumbnail and full screen
mode. Thumbnail images may be ordered by name, date,
size or type. In full screen mode the user can browse
through the images and rename or delete them. It is also
possible to send them as e-mail or MMS messages. Sim-
ply select a picture, add a message and send just like an
SMS message or build a slide show with several images
and your favourite sound clips.
Pictures of loved ones can be saved in Contacts. When a
contact calls (or the user calls that contact), the picture is
displayed with the details of the call. This is known as
Picture Phone Book.
Pictures may be loaded up to the Internet. Sony Ericsson
Mobile Internet has an on-line album enabling you to
share pictures and video clips: wap.sonyericsson.com

Graphics
Graphics (tables, charts, diagrams and layouts) have a
major impact on the way we work. The T610/612
supports JPEG (max 640x480), GIF (max 160x120),
WBMP (max 320x320) and animated GIFs. With MMS,
the user can personalize the appearance of the display –
for example the background colours and the background
picture.
