About the camera

Your device supports an image capture resolution of up to 2592 x 1944 pixels (5Mpix). The image resolution in this guide may appear different.

The images and video clips are saved in Gallery.

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).

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.
