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. 89. 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. 87.
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.
