The Nokia N97 Mini smartphone has many features, including a camera that can capture photos and record video. The N97 Mini camera requires an application downloaded on the hard disk to operate. If the camera is not operating correctly, a problem may exist with the software that includes the application or operating system; the camera may be in the wrong mode; the lens could be clouded; or the device may need to be reset.
