Abysmal documentation from palmOne. Or Palm, Inc. Or whatever they're
calling themselves these days...

First, ensure the color depth of the display is 16-bits instead of its
8-bits default on the Zire 72.
Make these WinScreenMode API calls at the start of the application.
// set screen color depth to 16 bit to display thumbnail photos properly
g_originalScreenDepth = 0;
UInt32 newScreenDepth = 16;
WinScreenMode(winScreenModeGet, NULL, NULL, &g_originalScreenDepth,
NULL);
WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet, NULL, NULL, &newScreenDepth, NULL);
Be a good programmer and reset the color depth at the end of the
application.
// reset screen mode to original bit pixel depth (probably eight for
Zire 72)
WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet, NULL, NULL, &g_originalScreenDepth,
NULL);
This is probably the solution, especially if you're displaying the preview
yourself instead of using the standard preview code built-in to the photo
library via PalmPhotoCaptureImageV2.
Feel free to post more questions. My client and I have become waaaaaay too
intimate with the photo capabilities of the Zire 72. Have you experienced
the "white-screen-of-death" taking outdoor photos?
