7. Camera
You can take photos and record video clips with the built-in camera.
The camera lens is on the back of the device. 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 or send it with a multimedia
message, save it as a wallpaper, save it on a compatible PC using Nokia PC Suite
software, and upload it to a Web address with the content image uploader. When
you attach a picture to an entry in your list of contacts, the picture is displayed
when the contact calls you.
The Nokia 6235, Nokia 6235i, Nokia 6236, and Nokia 6236i devices support an
image capture resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The image resolution in these
materials may appear different.
If there is not enough memory to take a new photo, delete old photos or other
files in the Gallery.
