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

•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: Set the device to attach the 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.

•When you share a photo with the location tag attached, the location information may be exposed to others.

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

•Timer: Use this for delayed-time shots.

•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.

•Brightness: Change the brightness.

•Guidelines: Display viewfinder guides to help composition when selecting subjects.

•Flash: Activate or deactivate the flash.

•Contextual filename: Set the camera to add contextual tags, such as location information, to filenames.

•Storage: Select the memory location for storage.

•Edit quick settings: Reorganise shortcuts to frequently-used options.

•Reset: Reset the camera settings.

The available options vary depending on the mode used.
