Nokia E6 Front Camera

Does anybody know whether the secondary camera can be used to take photo's?
I know that some Nokia handsets have this facility that can be used for both video calls and photo's, but I have pre-ordered the Nokia E6 and was hoping the secondary camera could also be used for taking pictures.

I'd much rather not see(or hear) myself AT ALL 
But I believe that's the main use other than video calling, some cheaper feature handsets with no front facing camera have a small mirror under the rear camera to help a user take a self portrait !

    Hi arzoo,
    Thanks for your post and welcome to the Nokia forum.
    I would invite you to visit your local Nokia care point to get the phone checked, if it needs a repair, it could be done there.

  • Nokia c7 front camera error

    Hi, my c7 front camera does not working it shows an error report "Unexpected error occurred. Please restart the
    camera.
    If this does not help, try restarting the phone." i don't know why is this happening but i think it occurs after symbian belle update. Can any one help me ......

    Hi Tarbiya,
    Since you have mentioned that you encountered the issue after updating the software to Symbian Belle, if you have not tried doing a soft reset on your phone, you may just dial *#7780# and enter the default security code 12345 if not changed. It will restore the settings back to default or manufacturer's settings, no data will be deleted. It fixes some issues on the device. If issues persists, you may try to reinstall the software to fix some application issues on your phone.
    Just follow the steps below:
    Connect your phone to PC using USB cable and launch Nokia Suite.
    Once your device is recognised, click on Tools and select Software Update.
    Click on the "reinstall" button.

  • Nokia Lumia 900 Front camera issues

    Hi Moderator,
    I bought the new Nokia Lumia 900 few days back and today for the first time when I tried using the front camera on one of my video calls it just froze. Thinking that it is software(skype, tango) problem I tried to open regular camera but the front camera wouldnt come up. I called At&t technical support he advised me to switch off the phone, remove sim, re-insert the sim and turn it on. It worked(thought I still dont understand the realtion between sim and camera). But after some time the camera again hung up on me. This time I switched my phone off for 5 minutes and then turned it on it worked. And I cannot do the whole process again and again all day. Is that a known issue or defect in my phone. 

    I also have a new Lumia 900 with skype installed.     I am finding that the experience on wifi is still not as smooth as  Facetime on an iPhone.   I am also finding that after I use it a second time (my call hung up in the middle), suddenly my front camera will not work correctly anymore.  It is showing the image as though it has some kind of a filter applied and there does not appear to be a way to turn or reset this filter.  Switching to the front view worked fine.  Audio continued to work fine and my phone did not lock up, other then possibly internet delays.  I got the front camera to work again by powering down.   I think there might still be software issues.

    Hi Ton,
    6288 is a dual camera with 2 MP at the back, the second camera at the front which is used for video calling, sadly u cannot take pitures out of it.To set up video calling u must contact your service provider.

  • Reddish tint on front camera glass on Nokia 808 Pu...

    Some time ago I replaced the somewhat broken case of my Nokia 808 Pureview with other one, used, but in good physical condition. Everything went ok, no problem here.
    There is a strange thing however: the front camera glass of the "new" case has a slightly reddish tint, whose color resembles a skylight photo filter. It can be observed quite well in the attached images (in the one with both, the "new" case is on the left).
    I am unable to spot a difference in colors of the photos taken before and after case change, but that doesn't mean much. The colors of the 808 were never on my favorite side (I always prefer the N8 colors, but this is also a matter of taste) and those taken with the xenon flash have a pink white tendency almost all the time (especially on subjects having lot of white) – but that was the same with the "old" case also.
    My question is – was this physical optical adjustment intentionally made by Nokia at some point ? Or this is something common and just my old case was different than the average ? The glass on the old case seems just a little bit dark, but this could be only an impression and for sure it has no particular color tint.

    Hello, secarica. Thanks for sharing this with us. We'd like to clarify some details for us to better address your concern. Where did you purchase the case? Where are you located and have you taken the phone to a Care Point for an evaluation?
    BTW, we do not recommend unauthorized disassembling of parts as it may cause further harm to the phone & will void your phone's warranty. For any repair concerns, we suggest taking the phone to an authorized repair facility: http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/support/locations/. Backup file is a must to avoid any data loss. Keep us posted.

  • Front cam in nokia e 71

    I jus want to clarify whether there is a front side cam provided in the e 71.
    if so how to activate it n use it. 

    Yes it does have one.
    It is for use in video calls as the quality of it is too poor to be used for photos.
    On some models the front camera can be used by going to camera > options > use secondary camera but not all models support that feature.

  • Lumia 1520 reboots when front camera is used

    Hi all, I picked up an international version of the Lumia 1520 a couple of weeks back in India and I just realized that the phone reboots when ever I try to use the front camera. This is happening with all apps. The apps that i have tried till now are as follows
    OneShot, Nokia Camera, Default camera app and Camera360.
    The reboot happens with all the apps only when I try to use the front camera. I have tried hard resetting the phone but that too has not solved the problem. I have seen a couple of discusstions on this topic over here but none of them contained any helpful replies.
    The handset is running the Lumia Black update. I'm wondering if this is a hardware issue or software issue. If it is a software issue I dont mind waiting for a patch, but if it is a hardware issue then I have no option but to reutrn to it. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I purchased a Nokia Lumia 1520 from Snapdeal. 2 days after using the phone, I inserted an SD card for data transfer and it didn't work with the phone. I tried to format the SD card as per Nokia forums and also tried to reset the phone but to no help. I took the handset to Nokia Care (Net Dot Solutions, Tilak Nagar, Delhi) and they tried to do a software upgrade but to no help.
    I submitted the brand new working phone and the Nokia care kept it for 15 days. The only reply I ever got from them was that the set is in the factory with no status update at all. After 15 days I got response from Nokia care that the Phone is warranty devoid and not covered under warranty any more. There was no specific reason given for the warranty being devoid.
    When I went to collect the set, it had minor scratches on the screen, which were not there when the set was submitted. The support personnel said that these are very minor and expected to be there. Very Strange! Also upon using the phone after I got it back from Nokia Care, I found that the front Camera is not working and the phone crashes each time the Camera is opened. Also the Auto-Brightness control (probably due to its sensor) is also not working.
    Nokia care has damaged my phone in the 15 days they had it. Who is to be held responsible. And now they say my phone is warranty devoid and I need to pay for any repairs. 
    NOKIA Care - Disgusting!

  • C7 front camera error

    Hi, please help me after I updated my c7 software to symbian anna my front camera is not working, I am getting error "unknown error occurred, please restart the camera, if problem persist then restart the phone" and after restarting still I am getting the same error.

    If you have front-facing camera problems, consider the possibility that the camera module itself may have become detached. My C7 recently fell a distance of about 30 cm onto a wooden floor. I now get the same "unknown error, please restart" whenever I try to access the front cam.
    I took my phone to a Nokia care point and they opened the phone and the tiny camera module just fell out. There are about 16 pins which connect this module and it doesn't look like it's soldered into place using conventional soldering methods. There is no sign of soldering actually, just tiny contact points. I dont know if this module normally just gets held in place or whether they are soldered by some special manufacturing process. But it looks extremely fragile and probably is, as I've found out.
    You will never know that the camera has broken off without the phone being dismantled, since the module is held in place by a rubber gasket pressing against the touchscreen.

  • E7-00 Front Camera Failure

    The front camera of my E7-00 (RM-626) Product Code 059F6L7 running 111.030.0609.282.01 Nokia Belle consistently produces this error message when I attempt to use the front camera  "Unexpected error occurred. Please restart the camera. If this does not help, try restarting the phone."
    I've done both suggested actions. I've reflashed the firmware. I still have the same  error message. Am I missing something? Is there a log for this error so I can tell if it is a hardware fault? Is there a work around?

    Nicer phones and still no one calls me!

    @luke_dirtwalker
    Probably only option left for you to try before returning device is to try re-installing existing software using OVI Suite > Tools > Software updates > re-install existing software in case of any possible software corruption.
