Camera
Your Nokia N73 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 N73 device supports an image capture 
resolution of 2048x1536 pixels using the main camera. The 
image resolution in these materials may appear different.
The images and video clips 
are automatically saved in 
the 
Images & video
 folder 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). 
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 online’, p. 36.
Take pictures
When taking a picture, note the following:
• Use both hands to keep the camera still.
• The quality of a digitally zoomed picture is lower than 
that of a nonzoomed picture.
• The camera goes into the battery saving mode if there 
are no keypresses for a moment. To continue taking 
pictures, press 
.
To take a picture, do the following:
1
To activate the main camera, open the slide. If the

To lock the focus on an object, press the capture key 
halfway down (main camera only). The green locked
