Configuring settings for Camera

Tap → to configure settings for Camera. Not all of the following options are available in both still camera and video camera modes. The available options vary depending on the mode used.

•Photo size / Video size: Select a resolution. Use higher resolution for higher quality. But it takes up more memory.

•Face detection: Set the device to recognise people’s faces and help you take photos of them.

•Metering modes: Select a metering method. This determines how light values are calculated. Centre-weightedmeasures background light in the centre of the scene. Spot measures the light value at a specific location. Matrix averages the entire scene.

•ISO: Select an ISO value. This controls camera light sensitivity. It is measured in film- camera equivalents. Low values are for stationary or brightly-lit objects. Higher values are for fast-moving or poorly-lit objects.

•Anti shake: Activate or deactivate anti-shake. Anti-shake helps focus when the camera is moving.

•Save as: Set the device to delete the original photo when taking photos with rich tone mode.

•Location tag: Attach a GPS location tag to the photo. Activate this feature when taking photos to create albums in Story Album.

•To improve GPS signals, avoid shooting in locations where the signal may be obstructed, such as between buildings or in low-lying areas, or in poor weather conditions.

•Your location may appear on your photos when you upload them to the Internet. To avoid this, deactivate the GPS tag setting.

•Review pics/videos: Briefly display photos taken.

•Volume key: Set the device to use the Volume button to control the shutter or zoom function.

•Timer: Use this for delayed-time shots.
