    Hi,

    Here is an example for taking pictures:
    http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ure_in_Java_ME

    All you have to do is modify the line:
    Code:
    player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
    to
    Code:
    player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://devcam1");
    in order to make it use the front camera.

    Normally it should work. You can test it on a device you don't have by using RDA

    You take the code example in the link I gave and see that it contains this line: player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
    Replace that line with player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://devcam1"); and try the application.

    this example in http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ure_in_Java_ME does not work for th Nokia X3.

    PNG is not supported, and for some reason using that exact example (and many others) the camera only works when starting the app the second time.
