Around the world, millions of people carry camera phones with them. In just a few years, the camera phone has quietly become the most widely used kind of camera in the history of photography. By combining photography with communications, it also has the potential to become the most influential. Today, camera phones are both more and less like other digital cameras than you might realize. Advanced models provide many of the settings and tools you can find in digital pocket cameras, including video features. But they also offer innovative functions that let you use images to communicate with others, link up with other devices, and bridge the gap between the virtual and physical worlds. The challenge of integrating a camera into an extremely compact, mobile, multifunction device is driving new developments in optics and imaging technology as well. And as Robert Clarks photographs in this book show, a camera phone in capable hands can produce compelling images. The goal of this book is to put mobile-imaging options in your hands when youre selecting a camera phone, taking pictures and exploring new ways to share your view. The National Geographic Society has always been at the forefront of innovation in photography, and the growing world of camera phones is our newest frontier. We hope you will be inspired by the tools, techniques, resources and images presented here.

Creating this book required the skill and hard work of many people. I extend my thanks to all of them, and to Russell Hart for recommending me. Representatives of companies mentioned in this book were also generous in sharing information and letting me give their products a spin. Special thanks to Camilla Gragg, Kristen Kelly and Drew Crowell. I would like to thank my family and my excellent friends for their love and enthusiasm. Special thanks to my mother for her indispensable support and to Shams, Ted, Anne, Sara, Bill, Evie, James and Chrisand definitely to Bryan, who made me my own custom infrared camera-phone light. Id also like to remember Anil Ramayya for the friendship and encouragement he gave me in all of my endeavors.:
Back when the cameras in mobile phones were little more than cheap, low-quality toys, their imaging capabilities probably didnt wow many buyers. But now that matters have improved, the time you take to learn about camera-phone options and compare different models will be well spent. There are several elements to consider: the mobile-service provider and service plan you choose, the camera phones design, the quality and characteristics of its imaging components, and the software it can support. All of these factors affect how well your camera phone will function as a mobile-imaging devicein other words, how much youre going to enjoy taking pictures and doing other cool imaging-related stuff you might not have known was possible with a camera phone.
DESIGN
Fusing a camera with a phone is no mean feat; but doing so has resulted in a broad variety of camera-phone sizes and physical configurations. To find the design that works best for you, look over the types shown here and then go to a store and test drive a few to see what feels right.

FLIP PHONES
A flip or clamshell style is one of the most common camera-phone designs. In simple flip phones, the lens is on the front cover and the LCD/viewfinder on the opposite side. Many flip phones have a lens at the bottom of the front cover; but some have one near the hinge at the top of the phone that can rotate. That means more flexibility in shooting from different angles and also allows you to take pictures with the cover closed, using the external LCD as a viewfinder. More elaborate flip designs place the lens on the back cover and allow the front cover with the LCD to swivel as on the Samsung phone shown above. With that type of design, you can rotate the LCD and fold it down against the body of the phone with the screen on one side and the lens on the other, like a compact digital camera. The Samsung phone on page 9 has this design. The Nokia shown on page 8 features a swiveling LCD but has the lens on one end of the hinge and the shutter release and zoom control on the other. You can flip the screen out, twist it around and use the camera phone like a small camcorder. Configured another way, it can be convenient for viewing pictures.
Most flip phones have buttons along the sides for snapping pictures and activating the digital zoom. If theres enough room, there are sometimes buttons for other controls along the side or surrounding the LCD. But all camera-phones offer access to most settings through the menu system and icons on the screen that you select using the phones main keypad.
BAR PHONES
Bar phones are composed of one solid piece with no moving segments. That makes them well suited to imitating a typical compact digital-camera design, with the LCD and phone keypad on one side and the lens on the other. With the lens on the back of the phone, theres more room for a built-in cover and for space between the lens and a built-in flash.
The Sony Ericsson bar phone shown here has a design resembling some Sony Cyber-shot ultracompact digital cameras: The camera turns on when the lens cover is openedfaster and more convenient than activating the camera through the phones menu system.
MEMORY CARDS & INTERNAL MEMORY
All camera phones have at least a small internal memory for storing photo and video files. Internal-memory capacities are typically between 8MB and 160MB; but the number of images you can store will depend on the camera resolution and video format used. Some phones offer more flexibility, with a slot for a flash-memory card.
These removable memory cards are used in digital cameras, PDAs and sometimes MP3 players to store files. But while those devices use full-size cards such as CompactFlash, SD, MMC and Memory Stick, camera phones accept only much tinier mobile-memory cards. These cards resemble the larger versions and often have the same names with mini or micro tacked on; but they are much smaller. A few camera phones use full-size cards. Those are usually smartphones similar to PDAs in their design and functions.
Insert your mobile-memory card into the appropriate slot on the side of the camera phone or sometimes in the battery compartment. (Do not confuse this card with your phones SIM card, which actually stores your phones numbers and call information.) Select the memory-card option in either the phones settings or camera menu so images will be saved to the card.
