Camera
Your Nokia N95 has two cameras, a high resolution camera
on the back of the device (the main camera in landscape
mode) and a lower resolution camera on the front (the
secondary camera in portrait mode). You can use both
cameras to take still pictures and record videos.
Your device supports an image capture resolution of
2592x1944 pixels using the main camera. The image
resolution in this guide may appear different.
The images and video clips are automatically saved in the
Images & video folder in Gallery. The cameras produce
.jpeg images. 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. 53.
Tip! To enter Gallery and view the pictures you have
taken, press the review key on the side of your
device twice.
You can send images and video clips in a multimedia
message, as an e-mail attachment, or by using Bluetooth
connectivity, infrared, or WLAN connection. You can also
upload them to a compatible online album. See ‘Online
sharing’, p. 65.
