Intro**************************************C1***************************** Welcome to my 12th guide - yes, this is #12! - I have written so far. This one is, amazingly, on the DSi Camera. It is truly a wonder why it hasn't been written yet. I mean, this is a major aspect of the DSi! Well, anyway, this is that FAQ we've been needing. Enjoy. 2. Quick Note**************************************C2************************ I know this might not be necessary, but I am speaking from the DSi XL's point of view. Therefore, some facts and directions may be different depending on version - and maybe even country (in that case, US). If something is incorrect or inaccurate, please notify me of this. 3. Start Up**************************************C3************************** When you turn on the DSi/DSi XL, you see some icons. One of these should have a little camera on it. Tap it to access the camera. You are given a tutorial, which will take about five minutes. Afterwards, you should be free to do whatever you wish. If needed, see section #5 to delete the pics you took during the tutorial. The icons on screen are now about to be covered. 4. Menu**************************************C4****************************** At the DSi Camera menu, you should see this on the Touch Screen: ___________________________________________________________________________ |_____________________________ ______________________________________| |________ | | ________| | (A DS | | | | (A SD | | icon) | System | | SD Card | icon) | |________| | | |________| |_____________________________| |______________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________________| | | | _____________________________ ______________________________ | | | (camera icon) | | (open book icon) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Camera | | Album | | | | | | | | | |_____________________________| |______________________________| | | | Photos Remaining: | | Photos Taken: | | | | | | | | | | xxx | | xxx | | | | | | | | | |_____________________________| |______________________________| | | | |___________________________________________________________________________| | | | ________________________ _______________________ ________________________ | |, V V `| | | | | | Exit | Calendar | Other | | | | | |_________________________|_______________________|_________________________| ...and a calendar at top. Each of these icons, when tapped, will take to do something. Each icon is covered by section(s). Camera : sections 7-9. Album : sections 5, 10-12 Calendar : sections 6 and 13 Other : sections 14-16 System & SD Card: Tap to view photos from there. Exit : Return to DSi menu. 5. Album**************************************C5***************************** (To get there, tap "Album" on the DSi Camera menu) In this menu, you can sort, edit, delete, and view pics you have taken. To sort, see section 11. To edit, see section 10. To view, YOU ALREADY ARE! To delete, look at the pic you wish to delete and press "Delete," which is at the bottom of the Touch Screen. You can also view the pics as a slideshow. Tap "Slide Show" at the top-right and the slideshow will start. You can change how to view and hear the slide show in "Settings" at the bottom-middle. 6. Calendar**************************************C6************************** (To get there, tap "Calendar" on the DSi Camera menu) Nothing much is here. You can make memos for certain days (like "Math Test on May 21st). You can also see one pic taken that day, if any were. Press a date on the Touch Screen to view its pic (if any) and memo (if any). Memos are covered in section 13. 7. Camera**************************************C7**************************** (To get here, tap "Camera" on the DSi Camera menu) HOLY CRAP! IT'S ME! Yep, when you tap Camera, THAT menu starts with the pic the inner camera (beside the mic) could take. There are many things to cover here, so in the next two sections, they will be covered. 8. Using the Camera**************************************C8****************** Whenever you're ready, tap "Start." You can now take a picture by tapping "Capture" or by pressing L, R, or A. Use "Switch" to switch between the inner camera (beside mic) and outer camera (black dot on top of DSi/DSi XL). There are some guidelines to follow: -Take pics in a well-lit place, especially if using the color-changer lenses. -Clean the camera carefully like you would a CD/DVD: with a lint-free cloth that is slightly damp. -If taking self-pics, hold the DSi/DSi XL about 6-12 inches away from your face for full recognition. Any more you want on here? Any tips? E-mail me at keyblade999.faqs@gmail.com! 9. The Lenses**************************************C9************************ Okay, so you think you take pictures, now? Boring, huh? Not too interesting. Let's mess with them a bit (evil grin). When you see all those icons on the top of the Touch Screen, those are lenses. Each has a different effect. They are now being covered. 1st from left: Normal lens. It takes a normal picture. You cannot do anything to this pic until put in the Album. 2nd from left: Distortion lens. Before taking a picture, drag you stylus across various parts of the picture to distort and warp it. 3rd from left: Graffiti lens. Draw some stuff on the picture. Bunny ears. Devil horns. Pokeballs. Whatever. 4th from left: Color lens. The whole pic starts in black-and-white, but you can restore color to some parts of the picture by tapping those areas. NOTE: If colors in the picture are ALMOST/ARE the same, all of those colors will be restored. 5th from left: Colorpad lens. Change a color to a different color. Maybe do like I did - make a ton of DS Lite pics. Make a blue apple. NOTE: If the colors in the picture are ALMOST/ARE the same, all of those colors will change. 6th from left: Make a mirroring or kaleidoscope effect on the picture. Rotate it with the stylus. 7th from left: Mischief lens. With recognizable photo of a face, you can add various effects to it, like sunglasses or tears. This can work even if the faces move and with multiple faces. 8th from left: Emoter lens. With a recognizable pic of a face, you can make it look happy, mad, or sad. NOTE: the graphics on it don't look well. 9th from left: Merge lens. Take a photo of one face, then another. The pics will be merged to create one odd photo. 10th from left: Resemblence lens. Have two faces in front of the camera at once, then you can take a picture and see just how alike they are. 11th from left: Frame lens. Put some of loaded or custom frame around a pic of something. You can save and keep all of these photos in the Album to exchange or Facebook at a later date, or to print out, or to waste space or something. 10. Editing Pics**************************************C10******************** (Go to the Album) When you look at a pic, you can edit it like you did with the other lens. You make a kaeidoscope effect over a kaleidoscope effect over... You see my point. You have nine lenses available. 1st from left: Distortion lens. Before taking a picture, drag you stylus across various parts of the picture to distort and warp it. 2nd from left: Graffiti lens. Draw some stuff on the picture. Bunny ears. Devil horns. Pokeballs. Whatever. 3rd from left: Color lens. The whole pic starts in black-and-white, but you can restore color to some parts of the picture by tapping those areas. NOTE: If colors in the picture are ALMOST/ARE the same, all of those colors will be restored. 4th from left: Colorpad lens. Change a color to a different color. Maybe do like I did - make a ton of DS Lite pics. Make a blue apple. NOTE: If the colors in the picture are ALMOST/ARE the same, all of those colors will change. 5th from left: Make a mirroring or kaleidoscope effect on the picture. Rotate it with the stylus. 6th from left: Mischief lens. With recognizable photo of a face, you can add various effects to it, like sunglasses or tears. This can work even if the faces move and with multiple faces. 7th from left: Emoter lens. With a recognizable pic of a face, you can make it look happy, mad, or sad. NOTE: the graphics on it don't look well. 8th from left: Merge lens. Take a photo of one face, then another. The pics will be merged to create one odd photo. 9th from left: Resemblence lens. Have two faces in front of the camera at once, then you can take a picture and see just how alike they are. The finished pic will be saved as a separate photo. 11. Sorting Pics**************************************C11******************** (Go to the Album menu) Whenever you look at a pic, you label it with a sticker. There are three: a star, club, and heart. These have effects on where and when photos are displayed. Look at a pic and press a star/heart/club to label it as such. 12. Useage of Pics**************************************C12****************** -Facebook -Photo Clock -Brain Age: Arts & Letters's Photo Recall game -DSi menu -DSi Camera calendar -Share with friends -Waste space -Keep pics of special occasions Any more? Well? E-mail me at keyblade999.faqs@gmail.com. 13. Memos**************************************C13*************************** (At the DSi Camera menu, tap "Calendar") On the Touch Screen, you'll see a calendar and on top, a pic taken/made that day. To make a memo, tap "Memo" at the bottom-right. You can write a memo for yourself. Examples include, for school-age kids, "Math Test" and "Math Tournament today." Even adults can use this, with memos such as "Apply for job" and "Go to Bob's place." However, I do not think the DSi/DSi XL will actually notify you of such memos - you likely have to check yourself. 14. Exchanging Pics**************************************C14***************** (At the DSi Camera menu, tap "Other") At this menu, tap "Exchange." You can get/send pics/frames to others who want to that have a DSi/DSi XL. Of course, you both allow the other to distribute these however he may wish, so be warned - he might put the most embarrassing pic of you on Facebook. 15. Copying Pics**************************************C15******************** (At the DSi Camera menu, tap "Other") I am not too sure on this. But I get the basic point - copying photos onto the DSi/DSi XL from an SD Card, or vica versa. 16. Reviewing the Tutroial**************************************C16********** (At the DSi Camera menu, tap "Other") In the "Other" menu, tap "How to use DSi Camera." This will take you back through the tutorial you went through when you first accessed the DSi Camera option. 17. Facebooking Pics**************************************C17**************** HOW? Just simply - HOW? To e-mail me the proper steps, send the e-mail to keyblade999.faqs@gmail.com. 18.
