About the camera
Your Nokia N96 has two cameras. The main, high-
resolution camera (up to 5 megapixels), 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 automatically saved in
Photos. The cameras produce images 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

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
