I cannot open media files
Depending on your BlackBerry® device model or your wireless service provider, mass storage mode or MTP might not be supported.
Try one of the following actions:
• If you are trying to open a media file on your BlackBerry device and your device is connected to your computer, disconnect your device
from the computer or turn off mass storage mode or MTP.
• If you are trying to open a media file on your computer using mass storage mode or MTP, verify that you have closed the media manager
tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager.
• If you are trying to open a media file on your computer using the media manager tool of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, verify that
mass storage mode or MTP is turned off on your device.
• If you encrypted the media files on your media card using an encryption key that your device generated and you are trying to open an
encrypted media file using your computer or a device other than the BlackBerry device that you used to encrypt the file, insert the
media card into the BlackBerry device that you used to encrypt the file. In the memory options, change the Encryption Mode field to
None or Security Password.

I cannot save media files
Your BlackBerry® device memory or media card might not have enough available memory to store media files.
Try performing the following actions:

The flash dims or turns off
If the camera has a flash, and the battery power level drops below 20 percent, the flash dims to conserve battery power. In cold temperatures,
when the battery power level drops below 20 percent, the flash might turn off.
Some pictures that I take are blurry
In low lighting conditions, the camera might compensate for the lack of exposure by using a slower shutter speed. If you move the camera
before the shutter clicks, the picture might be blurry. If the camera is using a slower shutter speed, an exclamation point indicator appears at
the bottom of the screen.
Depending on your BlackBerry® device model, you might be able to decrease the blurriness in pictures that is caused by slight movements of
the camera by turning on image stabilization in the camera options.
Some features are not available on my device
The availability of certain features on your BlackBerry® device might be affected based on various items such as your device model and wireless
service plan.
If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, your organization might not have set up some features or might prevent you from
using some features or options. If an administrator has set an option for you, a red lock indicator appears beside the option field.
