The Pixon boasts a top notch picture performance that offers superb natural colour rendering and distinct contrast levels. Video capture is also super-slick, shooting in a WVGA (740 × 480 pixels) resolution at 30fps.
With that in mind, we felt it was time to put the Samsung Pixon M8800 through its paces and look at a number of top tips and tricks to getting more from this 8-megapixel wonder.
Here we’ll look at the best ways to stop thinking of your Samsung Pixon M8800 as just another phone and to start using it as the powerhouse computer it is.
Synchronise data
When you set up your Samsung Pixon M8800 for the first time you’ll need to specify which web server you wish to connect with. The handset guides you through this but it don’t help you when it coming to synchronising your Phonebook, Calendar, Task, and Memo with your web server account.
To do this you need to put the phone in Idle mode then tap on Menu>Applications, then choose Synchronise. You’ll need to tap Add and then specify the profile settings you wish to add. Now, when you want to synchronise your data, simply go to Menu>Applications, then choose Synchronise and Start Sync and is will happen automatically.
Make Movies
One of the great things about having a decent movie camera built into your phone is that you can capture great clips of your family and friends. The Pixon M8800 allows you to take that footage and to edit it with the phone and even add visual tricks.
Once you’ve caught your video clip go to Menu>Applications and choose Video Editor. Here you will find a host of tools you can use but first you need to load your video. DO this by tapping Files>Import Video. If you want to add a couple of clips together then simply load the clips you want to edit together but don’t choose too many as you’ll start to slow the phone down.
Once you’ve loaded a clip you’ll want to trim it down to size. This is easy as you will find Trim under the Edit features. It allows you to specify new Start and End points for your video. Tap Play to se the newly trimmed video. When you are happy with the new start and end sequence you’ll need to save it as a copy, do this by tapping More>Export>Video and pressing Yes when asked to save.
You can save this as a new project, to do this choose More>Files and Save project. You’ll need to enter a new name for the project video, so choose something you’ll easily be able to remember and find. The project will be saved in the Other files category of your phone.
View your movie on a TV
So, you’ve edited your movie and made it look the way you want it to. You don’t need to just show it to friends on your phone as the Samsung Pixon M8800 suggests TV-out functions. To do this you’ll need to connect the phone to your TV using a TV-out cable.
Once you’ve connected the hardware together, change the input mode on your TV to match that of the phone. You may need to change the TV-out settings on your phone to get the a better picture. To do this, go to Menu>Settings>Phone Settings? TV out and choose video encoding system.
