<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>
