A 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash captures VGA-quality videos at 30 frames per second.

The Nokia N85 also offers a full range of standard scene modes, including Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sport and Night. It also offers a red-eye reduction flash mode and a flash range of up to 3 meters. However, the camera lens found in the Nokia N85 does not match the focal length of Sony Ericsson's upcoming Cyber-shot camera phone.
Each Nokia N85 comes with an 8GB microSD card, and a 3.5mm audio jack makes enables users to connect their favorite headset without the requirement of a converter. The Nokia N85 also supports the Nokia Music Store and other online music vendors, and music libraries can be synchronized via an USB cable. A built-in FM transmitter also lets Nokia N85 users play wirelessly through a car or home stereo.

Gaming, photos, navigation and music blend together with the newest Ovi and third party services via 3.5G HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity. A pre-loaded Nokia Download! application lets users download third party entertainment content, the latest in mobile gaming as well as dynamic applications (widgets).
