About the camera
Your Nokia N78 has two cameras. The main, high
resolution camera (up to 3.2 megapixels), is on the
back of the device. The secondary, lower resolution,
camera is on the front. You can use both cameras to
take still pictures and record videos.
Your device supports an image capture resolution
of 2048x1536 pixels. The image resolution in this
guide may appear different.
The images and video clips are automatically saved
in the Photos application.
See "Photos", p. 76. 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. 75.
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, and asks whether you want to
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. 83.
