Prolong battery life
Many features in your device increase the demand
on battery power and reduce the battery life time.
To save battery power, note the following:
● Features that use Bluetooth technology, or
allowing such features to run in the background
while using other features, increase the demand
on battery power. Turn Bluetooth technology off
when you do not need it.
● Features that use wireless LAN (WLAN), or
allowing such features to run in the background
while using other features, increase the demand
on battery power. WLAN on your Nokia device
switches off when you are not trying to connect,
not connected to an access point, or not scanning
for available networks. To further reduce battery
consumption, you can specify that your device
does not scan, or scans less often, for available
networks in the background.

Connections
Your device offers several options to connect to the
internet or to another compatible device or PC.
Wireless LAN
Your device supports wireless local area network
(WLAN). With WLAN, you can connect your device to
the internet and compatible devices that have
WLAN.
About WLAN
To use WLAN, it must be available in the location,
and your device must be connected to the WLAN.
Some WLANs are protected, and you need an access
key from your service provider to connect to them.
Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run
in the background while using other features,
increase the demand on battery power and reduce
the battery life.
Your device supports the following WLAN features:
● IEEE 802.11b/g standard
● Operation at 2.4 GHz
● Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to
128 bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and
802.1x encryption methods. These functions can
be used only if they are supported by the
network.
WLAN connections
To use WLAN, you must create an internet access
point (IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for
applications that need to connect to the internet.
See "WLAN internet access points", p. 45.
Important: Always enable one of the
available encryption methods to increase the
security of your wireless LAN connection. Using
encryption reduces the risk of unauthorised access
to your data.
A WLAN connection is established when you create
a data connection using a WLAN internet access

applications can use the same internet access point.
When the device is in the offline profile, you can still
use WLAN (if available). Remember to comply with
any applicable safety requirements when
establishing and using a WLAN connection.
Tip: To check the unique media access control
(MAC) address that identifies your device,
enter *#62209526# in the standby mode.

Positioning (GPS)
You can use applications such as Maps and GPS data
to find out your location, or measure distances and
coordinates. These applications require a GPS
connection.
About GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide
radio navigation system that includes 24 satellites
and their ground stations that monitor the
operation of the satellites. Your device has an
internal GPS receiver.
A GPS terminal receives low-power radio signals
from the satellites and measures the travel time of
the signals. From the travel time, the GPS receiver
can calculate its location to the accuracy of metres.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees
and decimal degrees format using the international
WGS-84 coordinate system.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by
the government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
accuracy of location data can be affected by
adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United
States government and is subject to change with
the United States Department of Defense civil GPS
policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan.
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite
geometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals
may be affected by your location, buildings, natural
obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPS receiver
should only be used outdoors to allow reception of
GPS signals.
Any GPS should not be used for precise location
measurement, and you should never rely solely on
location data from the GPS receiver and cellular
radio networks for positioning or navigation.
To enable or disable different positioning methods,
such as Bluetooth GPS, press

calculating the coordinates of your current location
Positioning (GPS)
when your device is receiving signals from
satellites.
When you activate A-GPS, your device receives
useful satellite information from an assistance data
server over the cellular network. With the help of
assisted data, your device can obtain the GPS
position faster.
Your device is preconfigured to use the Nokia A-GPS
service, if no service provider-specific A-GPS settings
are available. The assistance data is retrieved from
the Nokia A-GPS service server only when needed.
You must have an internet access point defined in
the device to retrieve assistance data from the

Tips on creating a GPS connection
If your device cannot find the satellite signal,
consider the following:
● If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
signal.
● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS
antenna of your device.
correctly", p. 58.
● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal
strength may be affected.
● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows,
which may block the satellite signals.
Check satellite signal status
To check how many satellites your device has found,
and whether your device is receiving satellite
signals, press
Connectivity > GPS data > Position >
Options > Satellite status. Or, in the Maps
application, select Options > Map view > GPS
info.
, and select Tools >
See "Hold your device
If your device has found
satellites, a bar for each
satellite is shown in the
satellite info view. The
longer the bar, the
stronger the satellite
signal. When your device
has received enough data from the satellite signal
to calculate the coordinates of you r location, the bar
turns black.
Initially your device must receive signals from at
least four satellites to be able to calculate the
coordinates of your location. When the initial
calculation has been made, it may be possible to
continue calculating the coordinates of your
location with three satellites. However, the
accuracy is generally better when more satellites
are found.
Position requests
You may receive a request from a network service
to receive your position information. Service
providers may offer information about local topics,
such as weather or traffic conditions, based on the

data.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees
and decimal degrees format using the international
WGS-84 coordinate system.
To use GPS data, the GPS receiver of your device
must initially receive position information from at
least four satellites to calculate the coordinates of
your location. When the initial calculation has been
made, it may be possible to continue calculating the
coordinates of your location with three satellites.
However, the accuracy is generally better when
more satellites are found.
Route guidance
Press , and select Tools > Connectivity > GPS
data > Navigation.

destination, and the approximate distance to it is
shown inside the compass ring.
Route guidance is designed to show the straightest
route and the shortest distance to the destination,
measured in a straight line. Any obstacles on the
route, such as buildings and natural obstacles, are
ignored. Differences in altitude are not taken into
account when calculating the distance. Route
guidance is active only when you move.

About the camera
Your Nokia N79 has two cameras. The main, highresolution camera, is on the back of the device. The
secondary, lower resolution camera is on the front.
You can use both cameras to capture images and
record videos.
Your device supports an image capture resolution
of 2592x1944 pixels. The image resolution in this
guide may appear different.
The images and video clips are saved in Photos.
See "Photos", p. 99. The produced images are in
the JPEG format. Video clips are recorded in the
MPEG-4 file format with the .mp4 file extension, or
in the 3GPP file format with the .3gp file extension
(sharing quality).
To free memory for new images and video clips,
transfer files to a compatible PC using a compatible
USB data cable, for example, and remove the files
from your device. The device informs you when the
memory is full. You can then free up memory in the
current storage or change the memory in use.
See "Video settings", p. 97.
You can send images and video clips in a multimedia
message, as an e-mail attachment, or by using other
connection methods, such as Bluetooth
connectivity or a wireless LAN connection. You can
also upload them to a compatible online album.

Tips on taking good photographs
Picture quality
Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has
several picture quality modes. Use the highest
setting to make sure that the camera produces the
best picture quality available. Note however, that
better picture quality requires more storage space.
For multimedia message (MMS) and e-mail
attachments it may be necessary to use the smallest
picture quality mode optimised for MMS sending.
You can define the quality in the camera settings.
See "Still image camera settings", p. 96.
Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other
pictures with people, avoid having your subject in
front of a cluttered, complex background that may
distract attention from the subject. Move the
camera, or the subject, when these conditions
cannot be met. Move the camera closer to the object
to take clearer portraits.
Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, add
depth to your pictures by placing objects in the
foreground. If the foreground object is too close to
the camera, it may be blurred.
Lighting conditions
Changing the source, amount, and direction of light
can change photographs dramatically. Here are
some typical lighting conditions:
● Light source behind the subject. Avoid placing
your subject in front of a strong light source. If
the light source is behind the subject or visible in
the display, the resulting picture may have weak
contrast, may be too dark, and may contain
unwanted light effects.
● Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives a dramatic
effect but may be too harsh, resulting in too
much contrast.
● Light source in front of the subject. Harsh
sunlight may cause the subjects to squint their
eyes. The contrast may also be too high.
Camera

● Optimal lighting is found in situations where
there is plenty of diffused, soft light available, for
example, on a bright, partially cloudy day or on
