I dont know about 7610 whther the photos folder exist or not and since you are saying that you have manually created the photos folder the System property dont result in path of that folder that you have manually created since it is not default and also System properties dont work on all handsets

So what you can do at this point is

1.....first check for default photos folder if it exist then work on it
2.....If first point result in null then create a dynamic path where you want to store photos

Hello,

As Nokia 7610 doesn't support image/bmp mime type.

Is it mandatory for you take snaptshot in bmp?

As both handsets supports jpeg you can take snapshots in jpeg format too.

In your code modify this
videoControl.getSnapshot("encoding=jpeg");
