Nintendo DSi Sound is built into the Nintendo DSi and utilizes its microphone.

== Description ==

Nintendo DSi Sound is an application that ship with the Nintendo DSi. With it, you can listen and "play with" AAC audio files stored on a memory card. You can also record and edit your own voice. It can't play MP3 audio files. The sound application can also browse through folders that you store your music in. For instance, you can make a folder on the SD card that is named "Country" and put all of your country music in it and when you are looking for music on the channel you will see the folder "Country" and be able to see all of the music, and play, all the music that has been put in it. This can help you organize your music if you have a lot of it on the SD card. Note that there is a 3,000 song display limit on the Nintendo DSi.

Nintendo DSi Camera is an application that use the [[Cameras]].

== Description ==

Take pics with the the inner/outer cam of your DSi, edit them with eleven different filters and show them to your friends by sending them to local DSi's. You can edit both before and after you take a picture.

Pictures can be sent between DSi systems and loaded onto the DSi from an SD card. However, images not taken with a DSi camera will not be viewable because they lack the proper HMAC stored inside a custom EXIF tag.

The Camera also has a secret piano, on graffiti mode you can use the music notes to play sounds.
*Top is high.
*Bottom is low.
*Right is high.
*Left is low.
There are many notes that can be created. The notes may be arranged in an 8 by 4 grid. This allows for (small) monophonic compositions accompanied by the background music of the application.

== JPEG Files ==

JPEG's Put on to an SD card off the computer are NOT viewable on the DSi, even if put into the correct folder ([[DCIM]]). Photos, however, taken with the DSi are viewable on the computer.
If edited on the computer, DSi photos will become unreadable on the DSi.

== Picture Quality ==

The DSi has a 0.3 megapixel camera on the outside and the inside. Despite this low MP rating, the picture quality is relatively good for that of the cheap cameras included. However, when viewing a light source indirectly, the camera will display fuzzy lines scanning the photo.
