Still camera settings overview

Superior auto

Optimize your settings to suit any scene.

Normal

Front camera

Select the front camera if you want to take self-portrait photos.

Picture effect

Apply effects to photos.

Scene selection

Sweep Panorama

Use this setting to take wide-angle, panoramic photos. Just press the camera key and move the camera steadily from one side to the other.

Resolution

Choose between several picture sizes and aspect ratios before taking a photo. A photo with a higher resolution requires more memory.

Flash

Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a backlight.

Auto

The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.

Fill flash

Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This removes unwanted dark shadows.

Off

The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the self- timer to avoid blurred photos.

Red-eye reduction

Reduces the red color of eyes when taking a photo.

Self-timer

With the self-timer you can take a photo without holding the device. Use this function to take self-portraits, or group photos where everyone can be in the photo. You can also use the self-timer to avoid shaking the camera when taking photos.

On (10 sec.)

Set a 10-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the photo is taken.

On (2 sec.)

Set a 2-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the photo is taken.

Off

The photo is taken as soon as you tap the camera screen.

Quick launch

Use Quick launch settings to launch the camera from the lock screen. If the device is in sleep mode of camera, press the camera key.
