About the camera
Your Nokia N86 8MP 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
3264x2448 pixels (8 megapixels). The image resolution in
this guide may appear different.
The images and video clips are saved in Photos.
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. 36.
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.
Activate the camera
To activate the main camera, open the lens cover. To
