Abstract: A simplified user interface is provided for transferring a captured image. Several steps requiring multiple user inputs have been simplified to occur in response to a single user input. Among other steps, the separate step of selecting the communication mode of the device prior to selection to transmit an image has been eliminated. Additionally, the separate steps requiring two user interactions of connecting to the device and transmitting to the device have been simplified into a single step.

Abstract: An external lighting source for a camera is provided. A visible spectrum light emitting diode or diodes is/are used instead of the conventional gas tube flash mechanism of a camera to bathe a scene in bright visible light. A reflector directs the light from the LED(s) outward from the camera to illuminate a scene in a fairly uniform manner during the image capture period.

Abstract: An external lighting source for a camera is provided. A visible spectrum light emitting diode, such as a white LED is used instead of the conventional gas tube flash mechanism of a camera to bathe a scene in bright visible light. A reflector directs the light from the LED outward from the camera to illuminate a scene in a fairly uniform manner during the image capture period.
