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.

•Burst shot: Take a series of photos of moving subjects.

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

•Auto night detection: Set the device to automatically detect darker conditions and adjust the brightness of the photo without the flash.

•Save as: Set the device to save both the rich tone photo and original photo, or only the rich tone photo.
