Camera settings

On the Apps screen, tap Camera →. Not all of the following options are available in both still camera and video camera modes.

• : Activate or deactivate the flash.

• : Set the device to take a number of photos at preset intervals when taking photos with the front camera.

• : Use this for delayed-time shots.

• : Select a filter effect to use when taking photos or recording videos.

To use more options, tap .

•Palm selfie: Set the device to detect your palm, so you can use it to take self-portraits.

•Beauty face: Set the device to take a photo with lightened faces for gentler images.

•Exposure value: Change the exposure value. This determines how much light the camera’s sensor receives. For low-light situations, use a higher exposure.

•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.

•White balance: Select an appropriate white balance, so images have a true-to-life colour range. The settings are designed for specific lighting situations. These settings are similar to the heat range for white-balance exposure in professional cameras.

•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.

•Tap to take pics: Tap the image on the preview screen to take photos.

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

•Recording mode: Change the recording mode.
