Camera
Your Nokia N81 has two cameras, a high resolution camera
on the back of the device (the main camera in landscape
mode) and a lower resolution camera on the front (the
secondary camera in portrait mode). You can use both
cameras to take still pictures and record videos.
Your device supports an image capture resolution of
1600x1200 pixels using the main camera. The image
resolution in this guide may appear different.
The images and video clips are automatically saved in the
Images & vids. folder in Gallery. The cameras produce
.jpeg images. 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. 51.
You can send images and video clips in a multimedia
message, as an e-mail attachment, or by using Bluetooth
connectivity or wireless LAN connection. You can also
upload them to your compatible online album. See “Share
online“, p. 41.
