Camera
Your Nokia N77 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 secondary camera on the front is
used in portrait mode, and the main camera on the back
in landscape mode.
The Nokia N77 device supports an image capture
resolution of 1600x1200 pixels using the main camera.
The image resolution in these materials may appear
different.
The images and video
clips are automatically
saved in
Images & video
in Gallery . The cameras
produce .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. 31.
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 a compatible
online album. See ‘Share images and videos online’, p. 41.
Take pictures
When taking a picture, note the following:
• Use both hands to steady the camera.

picture, use the active toolbar. See ‘Setup settings—
adjust color and lighting’, p. 30. Saving the captured
image may take longer if you change the zoom,
lighting, or color settings.

are no keypresses for a moment. To continue taking
pictures, press

capture key, or press
