Metering Mode. Select a metering mode to allow the camera to measure the amount of light and calculate the best-fit exposure value before capturing. Choose either Center Area to measure light using the center area of the subject, or Average to measure light using the area around the subject.

Prefix. When Default is selected as the prefix, the file name of each new captured file is set to “IMAGE” or “VIDEO” followed by a sequential number, for example: IMAGE_001.jpg. You may also choose to name files using either the current Date or Date & Time as the prefix.

Counter. To reset the file naming counter back to 1, tap Reset.

Flicker Adjustment. When taking indoor shots, flicker on the camera screen may be caused by inconsistencies between the vertical scan rate of the camera display and the flicker frequency of fluorescent lighting. To reduce flicker, you can change the flicker adjustment setting to the proper frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) of the power in the country where your device is being used (60Hz throughout the United States).
