Nokia N73 camera samples

A selection of sample digital photos to show the quality of the Nokia N73's 3.2-megapixel camera

Published on May 2, 2007

The Nokia N73 shoots stills at 3.2 megapixels (that’s 2048 x 1536 pixels), and has a Carl Zeiss Optics lens that allows it to autofocus on its subject, although you can adjust exposure settings, white balance and light sensitivity to get the best shots in any situation.

As well as the top resolution - among the largest available on camera phones - the N73 can capture images at 1600x1200, 1024x768 and 640x480. It’ll shoot in macro mode at any resolution as close as 10cm from the subject with clear results.

The lens is on the back of the N73 and is protected by a sliding cover. Uncover the lens and the camera software swings into action. The phone’s display rotates into wide screen mode, and you can use the two softmenu keys and the mini joystick to select options while side keys that are on the top edge of the phone zoom, shoot and flip over into the phone’s picture gallery where you can view images.

In this 3.2-megapixel photo, the colours are warm and rich, the image is sharp and details on the buildings on the left are clearly defined
The colours in this photo are bright and warm, and details like signs are legible at quite a distance. The contrast at the top of the image isn't so good, however
Even in overcast conditions, this photo is sharp and the colours bright and well defined

The Nokia N73's Carl Zeiss lens has no difficulty capturing the vibrant colours on show, although some of the white shoes come out a little bright for our liking
Even though the N73 has a proper flash, rather than an LED flash, its reflection can clearly be seen on the subject
Our indoor shot looked a little washed out and grainy on the automatic setting
