I've tried to do it... I have an older olympus 600 digital camera. My screen is either washed out, or a huge glare.

For those of you who have successfully posted screen shots of their i300, post your tips to this thread.

The axis of the lens should not be quite perpendicular to the screen surface (slight angle) to reduce reflection. You may have to try various angles - even perpendicular, depending on local light.

Use no flash, and ensure that no local light source is reflecting from screen.

Time exposure as required (depending upon f-equivalent of lens). Experiment until you determine the time (probably 1/2 second or so) to achieve sufficient color density.

Should work fine! If not, use photoshop or equivalent to intensify images.

Instead of flash or a glaring light source (light bulb), use a subdued or reflected ight source, such as the ambient light from a room with a sky-light or many windows on a sunny day (but without being directly in the path of light). A cloudy day would work well for this too. Set the phone on a white surface then (even a piece of printer paper will work), so it will fill the rest of the scene with ambient light as well, opening up any shadows, reducing contrast. Natural subdued sunlight will work better than trying to light wih a light bulb in a dark room.

Again, avoid hard, direct light. If really neccesary, reflect lights off the walls/ceiling (more than one to avoid harsh shadows), spreading the hard light out, making it softer.

You may also want to try using a polarizing filter...this will often reduce the glare. (plus it can also increase color saturation ...and reduce the "wash-out")

You can get them at most photo shops (i don't think they are too expensive)
