Had my Exec for a week now. Love it :D
Wondered what settings you guys use for camera as the results I am getting are very poor.
Similar to what I got from my I-mate Jam before they released the camers patch.Do you think it is a hardware issue or software ?

Cheers

My camera is about a billion times better than my Jam was, and I haven't changed my JJ's default settings. I assume the Exec will be the same defaults....

Contrast: 5
Brightness: 4
Saturation: 4
Hue: 5
Sharpness: 5

I have tried changing all the default settings ,get little or generally no improvement.
This is exactlly the same problem I had with the Jam until it was patched !!

I'm afraid I'm at a loss, like I say my JasJar photos are extremely good compared to my old Jam, even after the Jam had the updated software installed.

Maybe it is a hardware issue you have? Can anyone else back me up here? Or are other people finding that their pictures are of poor quality, too?

I'll try and find something decent to take a test photo of to compare, but I'm in the office at the moment, which is very uninspiring!

Since my JJ is my first PDA with a camera it's hard for me to compare and certainly it's not fair to compare it to my digital camera. I will say though that I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality and believe now that I'll use the camera more than I originally thought I might.

If the JJ had also been offered with a non-camera version I likely would have bought that one, but now I'm glad that I didn't have that choice. It's nice having a camera available any time without carrying around another piece of equipment.

As for settings, I haven't done a lot of playing around with them but I have noticed that to take just about anything indoors the general "night" setting works best for me. The others just seem to grainy. (Of course maybe I just need more light in my house!) Without any other tweaking though, "night" ends up working as an indoor setting.
