Hi All,

I have a MCA 10 which I use with my t68i. Lately the camera only takes pics of size 101x80 (they are this size even on transfer to the computer). Has my camera gone kaput?

Thanks

I don't know for the mca 10 but in mca 20 you have a menu which lets you to chose the size
I hope this helps probably not

Its an MCA 10, and the CommuniCam option doesnt even get enabled in the phone when I attach it. (never did)

as a side issue, are you aware you can send the MCA-10 to SE and they upgrade the firmware to make it into a MCA-10 VIEW

One of the main differences is that you can preview the picture before sending and if you have a T68i (or upgraded T68) you can also save the picture into the phone.

Perhaps if you have a problem with the cam you can send it to SE to get looked at and ask them to do this upgrade.

@masseur

Thanks for the tip. My cam is probably an MCA 10 view coz I can see the images I have clicked on my phone (by transferring it to My pictures. Is it different from the preview you suggest?.)

Its just that the pics looks exactly the same when transferred to the computer as it does on the phone (101x80, 256 colors, gif image) . Anyways, it seems the camera needs treatment (probably time to buy MCA 25..do you recommend it?).

Thanks

I have only used the MCA-25 briefly myself so its better you read some of the threads on Esato as quite a few people have commented on it.

You can be sure its much better than the MCA-10 with higher resolution and zoom capability.
