HTC Trinity P3600 - Camera
HTC P3600 - 2 Megapixel camera
The HTC P3600 has a 2 Megapixel digital camera that works well under good lighting conditions, but clearly performs below average in dark or dim lighting condition. It is prone to movement blur if you take photos in dim light. As there is no form of extra light, small in-built flash or a LED, the little lens has to do everything. Clearly it's having a hard time of it. Maybe the next generation of HTC mobile phones will work better in the aforementioned light circumstances. The camera works well in daylight, producing clear, high-quality pictures. When the camera is activated, you just hold the phone the same way you would hold an ordinary digital camera.
HTC Trinity P3600 - Delay
HTC P3600 - Interval of delay
The interval of delay is not usually a problem in daylight. It is a question of estimating the right moment. It is different when taking photos with a moving subject. Evening shots will not be able to capture such a subject sharply, due to the lack of a flash and a too long shutter speed. In daylight, it is also difficult to capture fast moving subjects, not least because of the interval of delay. Even after you have overcome this obstacle it is a hassle to freeze the action with the special Sport setting. It is a pity that mobile phone cameras are not yet able to take good action photos. It is a matter of time, however. After all, it took a while before digital cameras worked as well as they do now.
HTC P3600 - Camera settings
HTC P3600 - Digital camera settings
You can change some of the HTC P3600's camera settings directly without referring back to the menu. On the start screen, you can adjust settings like white balance, brightness, photo quality and the self timer. The HTC P3600 camera also has a brightness function, but it is a shame that there is no flash installed on the HTC P3600. As I mentioned earlier, the HTC has a 2 Megapixel camera. I remember testing the HTC S620 a while ago. Its 1.3 Megapixel camera took better pictures. More Megapixels do not mean better photos. If you press the selection keys to the left or right, the camera switches between different settings, so that you can choose from Photo, Video, and Photo for your contacts and framed Photos.
HTC P3600 - Editing photos
HTC P3600 - Editing and sending photos
You can edit photos after taking them. You can crop them, turn or even apply an auto correction to the photo. Auto correction is good for correcting the yellow wash over a photo when you have chosen the wrong white balance. After all the photos have been edited and you are satisfied with the results, you can send them to your friends via MMS, MSN, E-Mail, infrared, USB cable and per Bluetooth. You can also choose to play a slide show. The quickest method for transferring photos to your computer is with a USB cable; transferring 43.2MB took just under 2 minutes. All in all the HTC P3600 gives you enough choice to be able to do fun things with your photos.
HTC Trinity P3600 - miniSD card
HTC P3600 - miniSD Memory card
Recently, more phones have the option of expanding their memory with an external flash memory card. Each brand has its own possibilities for extending memory: Sony Ericsson often goes for Memory Stick micro, and recently Samsung has stuck to microSD. In the HTC P3600 you can expand memory with a miniSD card. Generally, a miniSD is a cheap memory card and it is a good idea to extend storage capacity so that you can also use the HTC P3600 as an MP3 player. Although the HTC P3600 is not the smallest phone in town, taking 2 appliances out with you is always more bother than just having one slighter larger one.
HTC Trinity P3600 - Media player
HTC P3600 - Windows media player
If you click on start, you will find a Windows media player just like the one on your computer. The media files on the HTC Trinity P3600 can be quickly found on the automatic search function. The headphone that comes with the HTC P3600 has a good sound quality and can also be used as a hands free set. The video shown via the Windows Media player are good quality. If you are already familiar with the Windows media player functions from your computer, you don't have to spend a long time figuring out how everything works.
