Keyboard Shortcuts
You can use the following keyboard shortcuts for performing actions from the Camera menu:
Insert the Camera
Here’s how to attach the camera to your device:
1Before you can insert the camera into your device, you must expose the camera’s “lead”, which is protected 
by a plastic case. You can tell which end of the camera is the case because it has a hook for attaching to a 
key chain or cord. To remove the case, hold the camera with both hands (one hand on each end) and twist 
the case 90 degrees, then pull to expose the lead:
2Insert the lead firmly into the device headset/camera jack:
Be sure to push the camera in all the way! You’ll know it’s in far enough when the wheel lights up.
3As soon as you insert the camera into the jack (assuming you’re already in the Camera application), your 
device will display the Capture screen. 
4Before you take your first photo, be sure to read the next section,

About Capture Modes
There are two “modes” you can be in when taking a picture:
Take a Photo
To capture a photo, the camera must first be inserted in the jack and you must be viewing the Capture screen. If 
you’ve just inserted the camera, the Capture screen will open automatically; however, if you’ve been to another 
screen after inserting the camera, you’ll need to return to the Capture screen:
1From either the Capture or Gallery screen, press Menu   then select Capture New.
2The Capture screen appears with the image currently in focus in the “viewfinder”:
3You must now select a capture mode. (Read more in 
About Capture Modes on page 142.)
• By default, the Capture screen opens in Preview mode, indicated by this icon: 
• If you’d rather capture in AutoSave mode, then rotate the wheel to highlight the Preview button, then 
press the wheel to open the pop-up menu. Scroll to highlight AutoSave, then press the wheel. PreviewAfter you capture an image, it is displayed on the screen. From this screen you can decide 
to keep it, retry the shot, or rename it. The capture mode is set to Preview by default.
AutoSaveYou can take many photos in a row, without being prompted to save or delete the picture. 
Photos are saved to your device for later review in your Gallery.

4Position the camera so the image you want to capture displays in the “viewfinder” on the Capture screen. If 
the image is upside down, select the Flip button to turn it right-side up. You can also use the D-pad’s up and 
down arrow keys to flip the picture. Note that you can rotate the camera 180 degrees, which means you can 
take a picture of yourself!
5When you’re ready to capture the image, select the “shutter” button  .
6The screen lens “closes” first, then opens, displaying your captured photo:
7If you want to give your photo a name (other than the default “Photo #”), scroll to highlight the name text 
field, then edit the name as you wish. If you keep the photo, you can always rename it later from the Gallery.
8Select either Retry or Keep It .
• If you select Retry, the photo is permanently deleted.
• If you select Keep It, you’ll be able to view your photo from the Gallery.
View Your Photo Gallery
You can save up to 36 photos on your device (called your “Gallery”). You can view your Gallery in two ways:
•Thumbnail View - screen displays six photos at a time, rendered at 75% of original size
•Full Screen View - screen displays one photo at a time, rendered at 150% of original size
By default, your Gallery opens in Thumbnail view. To switch between views, press  + D.
