• CAMERA

You can take photos and record video clips with the built-in camera and adjust its
settings. The camera lens is on the back of the phone, and the color display of the
phone works as a viewfinder. The camera produces photos in JPEG format and video
clips in H.263 (SubQCIF) format. After you have taken a picture or video, you can
attach it to a multimedia message, and send it with MMS, save it as wallpaper in
the standby mode, save it in a compatible PC using Nokia PC Suite software, and
upload it to a Web address with the content image uploader. When you attach a
picture to an entry in your list of contacts, the picture is displayed when your
contact calls you.

If there is not enough memory to take a new photo, you need to free some by
deleting old photos or other files in the gallery.
