The '''Nintendo 3DS Camera''' is a built-in photo and video recording application for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], and it also has an integrated media gallery and simple photo editing functionality. The Nintendo 3DS Camera serves as the successor to the [[Nintendo DSi Camera]] for the [[Nintendo DSi]]. There is a counterpart application titled [[Nintendo 3DS Sound]], which has a similarly designed logo but specializes in audio instead. Both the Nintendo 3DS Camera and the Nintendo 3DS Sound feature a parakeet with green feathers and a yellow head who provides usage tips within the respective application.

Alternatively, the Nintendo 3DS Camera can be accessed from the [[HOME Menu]]. This is done by simultaneously pressing {{button|3ds|L}} and {{button|3ds|R}}. The interface for the HOME Menu's camera application is a lot simpler and only includes the most essential functionality. It does not feature the parakeet, although a button at the bottom-right corner allows the user to open the full application.
The Nintendo 3DS Camera uses the system's two front-facing cameras to take three-dimensional photos, and the user-facing camera to take regular two-dimensional photos. All photographs are taken at a resolution of 640 × 480 px ({{wp|Video Graphics Array|VGA}}). The two perspectives of 3D photographs are stored into two separate files, with JPG and MPO extensions.


On December 7, 2011, a [[Nintendo 3DS system update|system update]] added the ability to record three-dimensional videos up to ten minutes long. If the SD card is low on storage space, the application automatically reduces the available recording time.

The Nintendo 3DS Camera uses the system's two front-facing cameras to take three-dimensional photos, and the user-facing camera to take regular two-dimensional photos. All photographs are taken at a resolution of 640 × 480 px ({{wp|Video Graphics Array|VGA}}). The two perspectives of 3D photographs are stored into two separate files, with JPG and MPO extensions. The user has the option to save their photos to either the internal memory or an [[SD card]], and can transfer or copy photographs to the SD card and vice versa.

In addition to manual recording controls, timers can be set to take a photograph every three or ten seconds after pressing the "Take" button, or by means of voice commands such as "OK!". The Nintendo 3DS Camera allows for users to save their photographs to an SD card, which can store up to 3,000 photos, regardless of storage capacity.
