Camera
Your Nokia N81 has two cameras, a high resolution camera 
on the back of the device (the main camera in landscape 
mode) and a lower resolution camera on the front (the 
secondary camera in portrait mode). You can use both 
cameras to take still pictures and record videos.
Your device supports an image capture resolution of 
1600x1200 pixels using the main camera. The image 
resolution in this guide may appear different.

.jpeg images. 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 (

message, as an e-mail attachment, or by using Bluetooth 
connectivity or wireless LAN connection. You can also 
upload them to your compatible online album. See ‘Share 
online’, p. 51.
