I made a video showing one of the many capabilities of the Nokia N95. I transferred a TV episode I had on my 24-inch iMac to the Nokia N95, then connected it to the TV-out with my television. If you haven't done this yet, you will be surprised at the quality of the video. I'm sorry the limited lighting on this video did not portray it accurately.



The episode was converted to the N95 using my conversion guide. The video was filmed with a Nokia N93. Notice that the telephone number was blurred out? I did that with Final Cut Pro... I'm slowly learning more about editing video!

Top Nokia N95 tips



The N95 has lots to recommend it, from the 5 megapixel stills camera and VGA video capture at 30fps to the built-in GPS, stereo speakers and standard 3.5mm audio out. There's also the very latest Symbian OS and Series 60 versions, with multimedia functionality thrown in by the bucketload.

1. Ignore those 'Exit' buttons? Err... not necessarily!
Unlike some other previous S60 smartphones (e.g. the N70), the N95's RAM is rather more limited (does the error message 'Memory full' ring any bells? Yep, thought it would). Starting with 20MB free, you'll usually be running with just over 10MB free, even in optimal conditions. You can still have many of your Series 60 apps running at the same time, which means no delays while applications are launched/switched to, with the usual trick being to ignore those 'Exit' buttons. When you need to switch to a different application, press the Menu ('Applications') button and select it from there, leaving the current app running.

However: don't do this for Camera, Gallery, Web, Java games or the built-in Maps, any of which can hog RAM and cause your other main programs to close down. For each of these, DO use 'Exit' for these programs, after use, to make sure RAM is freed up. In particular, make sure to manually 'Exit' Camera after using it every single time, if you want to avoid problems.



2. Downgrade that camera
Now, this is going to seem like heresy, but do you actually need a 5 megapixel camera? Each image will take up well over a megabyte on your memory card. For most purposes, perhaps printing photos at 7" by 5" or viewing on a TV, 3 megapixel images are absolutely fine - why waste precious space if you don't have to? You can lower the camera resolution by opening the camera and using its 'Settings'.



3. Preserving battery life
You'll have gathered by now that the Nokia N95's battery is a little on the slim side, considering the amount of high-tech goodies it's got to power. Here are a few tips to last longer on your daily charge:

* Firstly, make damn sure you do charge the N95 each night, so at least it's starting the day on 'full'
* The Camera is the single biggest power drain. While waiting to take shots or shoot a video clip, don't keep the camera with a 'live' viewfinder - better to close it down and then open it again just before you actually need to take the shot/clip. And if you're going to an event where you know you'll be using the camera/camcorder a lot, consider taking along a spare battery or portable charger
* Keep WLAN scanning off, you can always scan manually if needed, or turn it back on
* Unless you know you're going to be staying in an area with good 3G signal and you know you have a 3G SIM card, go into 'Tools | Settings | Phone | Network' and change 'Network mode' to 'GSM' - this will stop the N95 hunting for 3G signals, expending large amounts of power switching cells and holding on to weak mast locks.
* Watch what applications you leave running in the background - some games and Java applications are especially processor hungry, even when paused!
* When using the N95 as a navigator in car, with display and GPS both active, do yourself a favour and buy a $10 12V adapter/charger, so that instead of draining the battery at a rate of knots you're actually gaining extra charge.

4. Camcorder tips
The VGA video capture is one of the unique selling points of the N95, so make sure you make the most of it.

* Make sure you use a top-spec, high performance microSD card. At 28MB/min you're going to need it. A SanDisk Ultra II is ideal. Don't buy a cheap copy off eBay, get one from a genuine vendor.
* Don't use digital zoom - you're simply throwing away quality. If you need to get closer to your subject then get closer!
* Don't try and film too close to the N95, as there's no auto-focus in video mode. Stick to subjects more than a metre away.
* As with still photos, film only in good light; you'll be very disappointed by anything shot in dim conditions.
* Don't pan around a scene too fast. Despite the spec of shooting at 30fps, the N95's video will appear slightly jerky.

5. Making DVDs and videos
Nokia bundle a version of Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 with the N95 - ignore it, unless you happen to have a twin-processor monster of a PC. As usual, Adobe's software is incredibly inefficient and you'll struggle on a normal computer. In addition, it doesn't seem to like the N95's VGA video files very much and I had lots of problems. Ditto with the simplistic Apple Quicktime Pro. Instead, head over to ulead.com and get the full version of VideoStudio 10 Plus, which, when patched to the latest service pack, does an excellent job of handling N95 video files and rendering them to DVD or other video formats.



6. The ones you love the most (1)
With the Nokia N95, there's S60's usual 'active' standby screen. Don't just take the shortcuts given, I'm sure you have ideas of your own as to your most used applications. You can change any of the six shortcuts in the rather-hidden-away 'Tools | Settings | General | Personalisation | Standby mode | Active standby apps' (Phew, you really have to get to know the settings hierarchy on these devices!)

7. A cleaner, clearer standby screen
You can do a lot to make your active standby screen brighter, cleaner and more useful. See my tutorial over on AllAboutSymbian (though note that some of the Settings menu paths are slightly different - don't worry, you'll work it out).

8. Calendar shortcuts
In Calendar, '#' moves you immediately to the current day, while '*' toggles between the different views. And if you need to start a new 'meeting' entry at any point, just start entering text...

9. The latest and best (1)
Make sure you keep up to date with PC Suite. Yes, there's a version on the CD that came with your smartphone, but Nokia are fixing bugs and adding bits and pieces all the time. Most useful is the way you can explore your smartphone's folders (including your text Inbox) from within Windows Explorer. Very cool. Keep an eye on the PC Suite Homepage and stay current!

10. The latest and best (2)
It's also vital to stay up to date in terms of N95 firmware, i.e. the software inside the smartphone. Now, this isn't trivial, as it involves (at best) backing up your N95, running the Nokia Software Updater and having the internal disk of the device completely wiped and relaid, followed by restoring your data, but with the N95 being quite cutting edge you should take advantage of all the bug fixes you possibly can!



11. Quick music
Never mind the pretty but very slow 'multimedia menu' - you can go straight to music player by pressing and holding the multimedia key.

12. Pump up the brightness
Consider increasing the screen from the default brightness to its maximum. Yes, there's a hit on the time between battery recharges, but in the meantime you'll see some glorious colours. Go to 'Tools | Settings | General | Personalisation | Display | Light sensor' and adjust away. At night-time, if you're actually reading from the screen, you can use the same setting to turn the brightness right down to save being dazzled.

13. Hangup = Exit
Don't keep switching back to the Standby screen using the Hangup button. This was OK on old versions of S60, but in almost every instance it closes the current application on the N95 - in other words, it acts as 'Exit'. If you want to keep the current program running in the background, press Menu/Apps instead, twice if you want to get to Standby screen.

14. What's running?
The one utility every computer user needs is a system task manager (i.e. what's running). Luckily, the basics are built-in. Just press and hold the 'Menu/Applications' button. For more control, grab the trial version of Best TaskMan.

15. The ones you love the most (2)
If you get fed up scrolling down the Menu screen lookng for your favourite applications again, why not shuffle things round so that the apps you use the most are clustered right at the top? Highlight an icon and use 'Move', and you'll find you can re-insert it anywhere in the list. If you have lots of favourites, make the most of the folder system (e.g. 'Games') and then put these folders near the top of the list, for speedy access.

16. Switching to landscape
Perhaps an obvious tip, perhaps not, but you can run any application in 'landscape mode' by simply opening the music slide - this can be quite handy for apps like Web and Gallery, although of course use is somewhat limited by the way the main keypad is not accessible in this mode.

17. Quicker removal
In the previous tip, you'll have noticed that App Mgr is a very slow application - don't use it to remove applications from your N95. A much quicker way is simply to highlight the program you want to zap and press the 'C' key. Cool, eh?

18. Open up your device
By default, the N95 may (depending on your operator) come 'locked down' in terms of the applications it'll accept, installing only those that have large companies behind them, able to afford the expensive 'signing' process. But there are hundreds of other great applications, many of them free, that are 'unsigned' (although under S60 3rd Edition, totally unsigned applications are heavily restricted in what they can do). Don't worry about this (see my malware article to put your mind at rest). Just go to 'Tools | App manager | Options | Settings' and set 'Software installation' to "All". and 'Online certif check' to "Off". You can now install any compatible program without being blocked by spurious security warnings!

19. Softer photos
This tip doesn't currently work, due to a bug in the first N95 firmware! Watch this space...
The default camera settings in the N95 are designed to make everything look extra crisp, extra 'sharp'. When you zoom in closely, you'll see the (possible) problem, there's a large dose of artificial edge enhancement. Although you can adjust this in 'Sharpness' in the camera main toolbar, the setting is lost when you exit the Camera application. Instead, if you'd rather keep 'Sharpness' set to 'Soft', go into 'User defined' mode and alter 'Sharpness' there instead. Now the single switch to 'User defined' each time is enough to bring up the lower edge enhancement, as well as any other preferences you've set for this personal/custom mode.
