A Few Sample Pictures Taken With The Targus Handcam
The icon of the flower on the lens is macro, which is used for close up photos. The icon of the person on the lens is for portraits. Use this setting for taking pictures of subjects that are an average of 6 to 10 feet from the camera. The icon of the mountains is for landscape photos.
Below are some sample photos I took. The first thing one has to remember when taking pictures using a Handspring Visor is that the resolution of the Visor's LCD can not truly reflect the quality of the picture…
This is my ugly mug at (going from left to right) macro (notice I'm more blurry), portrait (the best photo as I am 4 feet from the camera) and landscape (if there was something behind me other than a wall, I'm sure what would be behind me would look sharper than me).
Macro is best used for close ups then photographs of people. The bear in the below photo is a mere 3 inches from the camera lens.
I have found that the subject of your photo really needs to be still in macro mode. Below is one of my cats 6 inches from the camera. Obviously she doesn't want to have her picture taken.
To give an example as to how helpful the landscape mode can be, here's a picture of the oak tree in my front yard, as taken from the back yard. The first photo was taken in macro mode (worst case scenario). Notice the difference it makes to take the picture in landscape mode.
Unfortunately, beyond the default picture size of 320 X 240 (shown), the picture quality of the Handcam is a far cry from that of your typical digital camera.
