Camera settings

On the Apps screen, tap Camera →. Not all of the following options are available in both still camera and video camera modes. The available options vary depending on the mode used.

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

•Burst shots: Take a series of photos of moving subjects.

•Picture stabilisation: Set the device to automatically detect darker conditions and adjust the brightness of the photo without the flash.

This option is not available when you record videos.

•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.

•Save as: Set the device to save both the rich tone photo and original photo, or only the rich tone photo.

•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.

•Effects: Select a filter effect to use when taking photos or recording videos. To download more effects, tap Download. To change the order of effects or hide effects from the list, tap Manage effects.
