Camera
Your Nokia N73 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 N73 device supports an image capture
resolution of 2048x1536 pixels using the main camera.
The image resolution in these materials 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 .mp4 file format, or in
the 3GPP file format with
the .3gp file extension
(Sharing quality).
See “Video settings”, p. 18.
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 online”, p. 27.
Take pictures
When taking a picture, note the following:
• Use both hands to keep the camera still.
• The quality of a digitally zoomed picture is lower than
that of a nonzoomed picture.
• The camera goes into the battery saving mode if there
are no keypresses for a moment. To continue taking
pictures, press .
To take a picture, do the following:
1 To activate the main camera, open the slide. If the
camera is in Video mode, select Switch to image
mode from the active toolbar.
2 To lock the focus on an object, press the capture key
halfway down (main camera only). The green locked
focus indicator appears on the display. If the focus was
not locked, the red focus indicator appears. Release the
capture key, and press it halfway down again. You can,
however, take the picture without locking the focus.
