•Review Duration. Set a time length for displaying the captured image/video on the Review screen before automatically saving it and returning to the live Camera screen. Select No Limit if you do not want to impose a time limit. Select No Review to immediately return to the live Camera screen after capturing.

•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 country where your device is being used.

•Record with Audio. Select On to record audio with the captured video clips. This is selected by default. If you select Off and then capture a video clip, it will have no audio.
