BrightCam sets the brightness of the Treo600 screen and the keyboard backlight depending on the light levels measured from the camera.
How to configure BrightCam?
The light levels measured by the camera may change depending on the camera type of your Treo600. BrightCam remembers the biggest and the lowest values received by the camera to adjust the brightness properly. If you want a fast range analisys, press the button while facing the sky and another time with the camera hidden by your finger.
BrightCam will set the brightness depending the light levels with a default configuration. You might think that this default configuration is too dim, or too bright. If you want a brighter configuration, move the slider on the right just a few pixels. If you want a dimmer configuration, move the slider on the left just a few pixels. You can use the button to see the result of your configuration.
This button will read the current light level measure by the camera and will show it on top of the slider. It is only useful for testing purpose if you want to check the light level in different situations.
This button will set the brightness depending on the current light level measure by the camera. When you are adjusting the slider to fit your needs, you can move the slider step by step and try the result with the button.
BrightCam will adjust the brightness when you power on the Treo600. If the continuous option is set, the brightness will be adjusted when you switch from an application to another if the light conditions have changed. You might set this option or not, as you want...
You might want to adjust the brightness of the screen without exiting your current application. If the option is set, the backlight key will request BrightCam to adjust the brightness now. Pressing the key a longer time will enable or disable the Locked mode. When enabled, the brightness of the LCD will be set to the brightest level and will remain at this level until you disable the feature. A sound is also played to help you know if you are enabling or disabling the Locked mode. If you don't want BrightCam to control the keyboard backlight, pressing will adjust the LCD brightness and switch the mode as usual. If the next option is checked, then will only adjust the LCD brightness and the keyboard backlight depending on the lighting level.
The previous option has been extended to give you more possibilities. When the option is enabled, you can choose if you want BrightCam to enable or disable the LCD automatic dimming after 15 seconds feature of the Treo600, and if you want to keep the keyboard automatic off when a dim lighting condition is detected.
You may have configured your Treo600 with a tone volume when you receive a call. When your Treo600 is in your pocket, can you hear the phone ringing? When a dim lighting condition is detected and you receive a call, BrightCam will adjust the tone to the maximum value possible. You can set this feature for phone calls, incoming MMS or SMS.
By default, the previous option will work anytime. If you want the feature to be enabled for a configured part of the day, you can press the button to select a time range. The button will reflect your configuration.
