Digital
camera connectivity
What
is digital camera connectivity?
This
new feature allows the user to transfer pictures from
a compatible digital camera into the communicator. The
user can view the images, convert to JPEG format and send
in faxes, as e-mail attachments or as ftp.
What
is wireless imaging?
It
refers to the concept of taking pictures with a digital
camera, instantly transferring them over infrared (Ir-TranP
protocol supporting cameras) into the Nokia 9110 Communicator
and forwarding the picture from the Communicator in a number
of ways, i.e. by fax, as an email attachment, uploading
over the web, of file transfer over FTP. It will change
the way photography and imaging is perceived today.
Can
I use any camera?
The
camera must be digital and equipped with an infrared port
supporting IrTran-P communications.
Which
IrTran-P cameras are available?
Currently
there is available (in the European & Middle-Eastern
markets):
Casio QV-7000SX
JVC GC-S1
Is
there a cable available for Digital Camera Connectivity?
No.
There are large number of digital camera products available
where the connectors are different from camera to camera
and each camera has a different image file format. Instead,
there is a new feature known as IrTran-P, developed by key
manufacturers. Infrared is used - so no connectors are needed,
and IrTran-P cameras supply the image in one standard file
type.
When
I transfer an image using Digital Camera Connectivity, it
appears as a black and white image on the 9110 LCD. Is the
transferred image still in colour?
Yes.
Because 9110 has a gray scale screen, the colour UPF and
JPEG file appears in B&W. The JPEG file still has all
of the colour information captured by the camera. When the
image is sent via the GSM network, for example as a email
attachment, all colour information will be intact.
