Camera
Your Nokia N77 has two cameras, a high resolution camera 
on the back of the device (the main camera) and a lower 
resolution camera on the front (the secondary camera). 
You can use both cameras to take still pictures and record 
videos. The secondary camera on the front is used in 
portrait mode, and the main camera on the back in 
landscape mode.
The Nokia N77 device supports an image capture 
resolution of 1600x1200 pixels using the main camera. The 
image resolution in these materials may appear different.
The images and video clips 
are automatically saved in 
Images & video in 
Gallery. The cameras 
produce .jpeg images. 
Video clips are recorded in 
the .mp4 file format, or in 
the 3GPP file format with 
the .3gp file extension 
(sharing quality). See “Video settings”, p. 20.
You can send images and video clips in a multimedia 
message, as an e-mail attachment, or by using Bluetooth 
connectivity. You can also upload them to a compatible 
online album. See “Share images and videos online”, p. 29.

picture, use the active toolbar. See “Setup settings—
adjust color and lighting”, p. 19. Saving the captured 
image may take longer if you change the zoom,
