<p>The Camera API allows your application to use the device camera to capture

still images and video clips, and store them in the internal memory or on

removable media. You can implement applications that make use of the camera

to capture images, record videos, or use the display as a viewfinder. To capture

images or to record videos, you need a combination of Symbian APIs and classes,

and device-specific components. </p>

<p> <b>Note</b>: The functionality that can be obtained through

the Camera API is hardware dependent. The API includes functions you can call

to check if functionality is available before using it. </p>
