Camera

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

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.

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.

Selective focus: Use this to take a photo with an out-of-focus effect.

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

Recording mode: Change the recording mode.

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

Audio zoom: Make the sound from the zoomed subject louder while recording.

Effects: Select among various effects that are available.

Flash: Activate or deactivate the flash.

Timer: Use this for delayed-time shots.

HDR (Rich tone): Use this to improve the contrast ratio in photos. HDR enhances the details in areas affected by too much or too little light.

Location tags: 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.
