7. Camera (Menu 4)
You can take photos and record video clips with the built-in
camera and adjust its settings. The camera lens is on the front of the phone. The
color display and the mini display on the front of the phone work as a viewfinder.
The camera produces photos in JPEG format and video clips in H.263 (SubQCIF)
format. After you take a picture or video, you can attach it to a multimedia
message, send it with MMS, save it as a wallpaper, or send it to Pix place. When
you attach a picture to an entry in your list of contacts, the picture is displayed
when the contact calls you.
If there is not enough memory to take a new photo, delete old photos or other
files in the gallery.
The Nokia 6256i devices support an image capture resolution of 128 x 160 pixels
on the Main display and 96 x 65 pixels on the Mini display. The image resolutions
in these materials may appear different.
