The Camera Manager API, which is part of the SDK from the Palm PluggedIn program, is supposed to make it possible for 3rd party programs to control the Zire 71's camera. According to the "Camera Manager API Guide", image capture is initiated with a call to CamLibControl, where kCamLibCtrlCapture is used as the camLibControlType parameter. Once this is done, according to the API, "the callback is called". Presumably this callback is specified via the paramP argument to kCamLibCtrlCapture, and presumably it is what handles the raw image data, saving it to a file or whatever. But I can't find any documentation about this callback, and without that, it's really impossible to write a complete camera-using app.
Have you looked at the usage of these functions in the sample Camera app included in the Palm SG SDK? It handles capturing pictures and shows the use of the callback function.
