About the camera
Your Nokia N79 has two cameras. The main, high-
resolution camera, 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 saved in Photos.
See "Photos", p. 87. The produced images are 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. 86.
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. 94.
