Nokia 6230i camera and photo editor

BrianD3

Just a couple of questions about my 6230i

-the camera on this phone is 1.3 Mp and the image files take up about 400 kb on the phone's memory card. But when I email a picture, it gets reduced to about 0.3 Mp and is about 1/10 the size. I realise that the phone scales down the image before sending to reduce how long it takes but can I change any setting to get it to send full size images

-this scaling wouldn't be so bad if I could crop unwanted parts out of the full size image before sending. However, when an image is cropped using the phone's picture editor, it results in a tiny image. Lets say I crop an image from 1.3 Mp to what should be an 0.3 Mp image. The result is a actually a tiny thumbnail far smaller than that. It also saves it as a .gif file whereas uncropped images are saved as jpegs.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

I dont have a 6230 handy but there is an option in the message settings. In the Mulitimedia messages section there should be an option for either picture size or scaling options.

If you are sending it via MMS, there is a limit to what size image you can send on the MMS service. This is set by the network and not the phone. The only way to send the full image would be by using the email client on the phone and send it using email, but at 400kb, the data charges will be steep if you send a lot of them!
