About the camera

 

 

Your Nokia N79 has two cameras. The main, high-

 

resolution camera, is on the back of the device. The

 

secondary, lower resolution camera is on the front.

 

You can use both cameras to capture images and

 

record videos.

 

Your device supports an image capture resolution

 

of 2592x1944 pixels. The image resolution in this

 

guide may appear different.

 

The images and video clips are saved in Photos.

 

See "Photos", p. 89. The produced images are in

 

 

 

 

 

 

the JPEG format. Video clips are recorded in the

 

MPEG-4 file format with the .mp4 file extension, or

 

in the 3GPP file format with the .3gp file extension

 

(sharing quality). See "Video settings", p. 87.

 

 

 

 

 

To free memory for new images and video clips,

 

transfer files to a compatible PC using a compatible

 

USB data cable, for example, and remove the files

 

from your device. The device informs you when the

 

memory is full. You can then free up memory in the

 

current storage or change the memory in use.

You can send images and video clips in a multimedia

message, as an e-mail attachment, or by using other

connection methods, such as Bluetooth connectivity or a wireless LAN connection. You can also upload them to a compatible online album. See " Share images and videos online ", p. 96.
