Camera
Your Nokia N73 has two cameras, a high resolution camera
on the back of the device (the main camera) and a lower
resolution camera on the front (the secondary camera).
You can use both cameras to take still pictures and record
videos. The camera is landscape mode. The secondary
camera on the front is used in portrait mode, and the main
camera on the back in landscape mode.
The Nokia N73 device supports an image capture resolution
of 2048x1536 pixels using the main camera. The image
resolution may appear different.
The images and video clips
are automatically saved in
the Imgs. & video folder in
Gallery. The camera produces
.jpeg images. Video clips are
recorded in the .mp4 file
format, or in the 3GPP file
format with the .3gp file
extension (Sharing quality).
See "Video settings," p. 25.
You can send images and video clips in a multimedia
message, as an e-mail attachment, or by using Bluetooth
connectivity. You can also upload them to your online
album. See "Online sharing," p. 33.
Take pictures
When taking a picture, note the following:
• Use both hands to keep the camera still.
• The quality of a digitally zoomed picture is lower than
that of a nonzoomed picture.
• The camera goes into the battery saving mode if there
are no keypresses for a moment. To continue taking
pictures, press .
To take a picture, do the following:
1 To activate the main camera, open the slide. If the
camera is in Video mode, select Image mode from
the active toolbar.
2 To lock the focus on an object, press the capture key
halfway down (main camera only). The green locked
focus indicator appears on the display. If the focus was
not locked, the red focus indicator appears. Release the
capture key, and press it halfway down again. You can,
however, take the picture without locking the focus.
3 To take a picture, in the main camera, press the capture
key. Do not move the device before the image is saved.
To zoom in or out, use the zoom key on the side of
your device.
