Motorola V276 pictures....dark?

I've had a V276 for a few weeks now. The camera is reasonable, but the
images are usually kind of dark. The exposure appears to be adjusted
using left and right clicks on the 5-way navigation key. Repeated left
clicking makes the onscreen image darker, repeated right clicking makes
the image lighter. However, when one actualy snaps the photo, the
exposure adjustment has no effect on the resulting image that gets
stored or sent. My wife has the same phone model, and hers behaves
exactly like mine. Has anyone else seen this? I fear it is a design
flaw....

Have you tried sending a few pictures to your computer.
The V265 is terrible at displaying pics, but they are OK when sent to

| Remember that it's a phone first, and a camera a distant second. Don't
expect great photos from any camera phone available in the U.S. right now.
Sure, some ARE better than others. I have an LG VX8000 and it was rated
very high for it's picture quality but I wouldn't put it up against any real
camera. Like the other person replied here, get it onto a PC and maybe you
can improve the look with some software tweaks.

Yes, I've loaded some on my computer, and I can modify them there. It's
just that the phone's camera function acts as if I can modify
the exposure at the time the photo is being taken, but in fact does not.
If it could, that would cure the dark image problem. Post-modifying the
images to lighten them helps, but one can never recover the full dynamic
range of an image that was more or less underexposed (that is, if you
brighten it after the fact, it is granier and noiser than an image that
had the proper exposure to begin with).
I appreciate the other respondant's comments that it is a phone first and
a camera a distant second. True. :)
