About the camera
Your Nokia N96 has two cameras. The main, high-
resolution camera (up to 5 megapixels), is on the back
of the device. The secondary, lower resolution camera
is on the front. You can use both cameras to capture
images and record videos.
Your device supports an image capture resolution of
2592x1944 pixels. The image resolution in this guide
may appear different.
The images and video clips are automatically saved in
Photos. See "Photos", p. 72. The cameras produce
images 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). See "Video settings", p. 71.
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.
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. 77.
