Apps and features

The preview screen may vary depending on the shooting mode and which camera is being used.

The camera automatically shuts off when unused.

Make sure that the lens is not damaged or contaminated. Otherwise, the device may not work properly in some modes that require high resolutions.

Your device’s camera features a wide-angle lens. Minor distortion may occur in wide-angle photos or videos and does not indicate device performance problems.

The maximum recording time may reduce when you record video at high resolution.

Using the focus and exposure features

Locking the focus (AF) and exposure (AE)

You can lock the focus or exposure on a selected area to prevent the camera from automatically adjusting based on changes to the subjects or light sources.

Tap and hold the area to focus, the AF/AE frame will appear on the area and the focus and exposure setting will be locked. The setting remains locked even after you take a photo.

This feature is available only in Auto mode.

Separating the focus area and the exposure area

You can lock the focus and the exposure on a selected area to prevent the camera from automatically adjusting based on changes to the subjects or light sources. On the preview screen, tap and hold the area you want to focus on, and then drag the AF/AE frame to the exposure area.

This feature is available only in Pro mode.
