White Paper Z600
6 September 2003
Key functions and features
Two displays
The Z600 features two displays. When in the open
position, the user can enjoy the ultimate viewing
experience afforded by the 65,536 full colour LCD.
The LCD has 128x160 pixels and is a 2” film diode
(TFD) type which is driven by a diode as opposed
to a transistor. The display has a 16 bits pixel mem-
ory depth. Camera pictures, picture messages and
gaming are all enhanced by the crisp, sharp col-
ours afforded by the TFD. The screen also offers
the user maximum information with the least scroll-
ing.
When in the closed position, a status display with
91x29 pixels is visible. This black & white display
has a blue background and lets you see who is
calling when a call comes in and also shows infor-
mation such as time, network and battery status.
Built-in camera
The built-in camera is capable of taking still pic-
tures up to common image format (CIF) resolution
(352x 288 pixels) and 24 bit colour depth. The lens
is recessed into the front cover of the Z600. 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 applications. The viewfinder will give an esti-
mation of the number of images remaining, assum-
ing that all of the free storage is available for the
camera application and using the current settings
for size and quality. Approximate JPEG file sizes
are 20 kbytes for CIF.
Saved images may be viewed in the image viewer
application, and are available for use by other
applications in Z600 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.
QuickShare
TM
The Sony Ericsson QuickShare
TM
is the smartest,
fastest and easiest way to share images. By com-
bining several imaging features and capabilities in
the Z600, QuickShare
TM
lets you take a picture
with two rapid clicks and then in four further steps
send it anywhere in the world.
It is also possible to exchange pictures directly
over Bluetooth connections and even drag and
drop pictures to and from the Z600 and a PC.
