Camera

Panorama

Use this mode to take a photo composed of many photos strung together. On the Apps screen, tap Camera →→Panorama.

To get the best shot, follow these tips:

•Move the camera slowly in one direction.

•Keep the image within the frame on the camera’s viewfinder.

•Avoid taking photos of indistinct backgrounds, such as an empty sky or a plain wall.

Night

Use this mode to take a photo in low-light conditions, without using the flash. On the Apps screen, tap Camera →→Night.

Camera settings

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

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

•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.

•Location tag: Attach a GPS location tag to the photo.

•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.
