three picture quality modes (Print 2M - Large, Print 1M

- Medium, or MMS 0.3M - Small). Use the High setting

to make sure that the camera produces the best picture quality available. Note however, that better picture quality requires more storage space. For MMS and e-mail attachments it may be necessary to use MMS 0.3M -

Small setting. You can define the quality in Options > Settings.

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.

• 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.

• 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 a sunny day in the shadow of trees.

Home network

Your device is compatible with UPnP architecture. Using a wireless LAN access point device or a wireless LAN router, you can create a home network and connect compatible UPnP devices that support wireless LAN to the network, such as your Nokia N81, a compatible PC, a compatible printer, and a compatible sound system or TV, or a sound system or TV equipped with a compatible wireless multimedia receiver.

Using the wireless LAN function of the Nokia N81 in a home network requires a working wireless LAN home connection setup and the other target home devices to be UPnP enabled and to be connected to the same home network.

The home network uses the security settings of the wireless LAN connection. Use the home network feature in a wireless LAN infrastructure network with a wireless LAN access point device and encryption enabled.

You can share media files saved in Gallery with other compatible UPnP devices using the home network. To manage your Home network settings, press , and select Tools > Connectivity > Home media > Settings. You can also use the home network to view, play, copy, or print compatible media files from Gallery. See “View

and share media files“, p. 71.

Important: Always enable one of the available encryption methods to increase the security of your wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your data.

Your device is connected to the home network only if you accept a connection request from another compatible device, or in Gallery, select the option to view, play, print, or copy media files on your Nokia N81.

Important security information

When you configure your wireless LAN home network, enable an encryption method on your access point device, then on the other devices you intend to connect to your home network. Refer to the documentation of the devices. Keep any passcodes secret and in a safe place separate from the devices.

To view or change the settings of the wireless LAN internet access point in your device, see “Access points“, p. 113.

Connections

If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a home network with a compatible device, enable one of the encryption methods in WLAN security mode when you configure the internet access point. This step reduces the risk of an unwanted party joining the ad hoc network.

Connections

Your device notifies you if another device attempts to connect to it and the home network. Do not accept connection requests from an unknown device.

If you use wireless LAN in a network that does not have encryption, switch off sharing Nokia N81 files with other devices, or do not share any private media files. To change sharing settings, see “Home media settings“, p. 70.

Home media settings

To share media files with other compatible UPnP devices through wireless LAN, you must create and configure your wireless LAN home internet access point, then configure the Home media application. See “Wireless LAN“, p. 61 and the wireless LAN settings in “Access points“, p. 113.

The options related to Home network in applications are not available before the Home network settings have been configured.

When you access the home media application for the first time, the setup wizard opens, and helps you to define the home media settings for your device. To use the setup wizard later, in the home network main view, select

Options > Run wizard, and follow the instructions on the

display.

To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on the PC, you must install the related software from the DVD-ROM supplied with your device.

Configure settings

To configure the home media application, select Tools >

have wireless LAN security settings enabled, you get a security warning. You can continue, and switch the wireless LAN security on later; or cancel defining the access point, and first switch on the wireless LAN security. See Wireless LAN in “Access points“, p. 113.

Device name—Enter a name for your device that is shown

to the other compatible devices in the home network.

Set sharing on and define content

Select Tools > Connectivity > Home media > Share

content.

Content sharing—Allow or deny sharing media files with

compatible devices. Do not set Content sharing on before you have configured all the other settings. If you set

Content sharing on, the other UPnP compatible devices in

the home network can view and copy your files you have selected for sharing in the Images & video and Music folders.

Images & video and Music—Select media files for sharing

with other devices, or view the sharing status of Images &

video and Music. To update the content of the folders,

select Options > Refresh content.

View and share media files

If Content sharing is on in your device, the other UPnP compatible devices in the home network can view and copy the media files you have selected to share in Share

content. If you do not want the other devices to access

your files, set Content sharing off. Even if Content

sharing is off in your device, you can still view and copy

the media files stored in another home network device if it is allowed by the other device.

Digital rights management

Content owners may use different types of digital rights management (DRM) technologies to protect their intellectual property, including copyrights. This device uses various types of DRM software to access DRM-protected content. With this device you can access content protected with WMDRM 10, OMA DRM 1.0, and OMA DRM 2.0.

If certain DRM software fails to protect the content, content owners may ask that such DRM software's ability to access new DRM-protected content be revoked. Revocation may also prevent renewal of such DRMprotected content already in your device. Revocation of such DRM software does not affect the use of content protected with other types of DRM or the use of nonDRM-protected content.

Digital rights management (DRM) protected content comes with an associated activation key that defines your rights to use the content.

If your device has OMA DRM protected content, to back up both the activation keys and the content, use the backup feature of Nokia Nseries PC Suite. Other transfer methods may not transfer the activation keys which need to be restored with the content for you to be able to continue the use of OMA DRM protected content after the device memory is formatted. You may also need to restore the activation keys in case the files on your device get corrupted.

If your device has WMDRM protected content, both the activation keys and the content will be lost if the device memory is formatted. You may also lose the activation keys and the content in case the files on your device get corrupted. Losing the activation keys or the content may limit your ability to use the same content on your device again. For more information, contact your service provider.

Applications
