About the camera

Your Nokia N85 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 (5 megapixels). The image resolution in this guide may appear different.

The images and video clips are saved in Photos.

See "Photos," p. 87. The produced images are in 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. 86.

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

Camera 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. 94.
