Sony 1273-4977 manual HDR video, Microphone

This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.

HDR video

Use the video HDR (High-Dynamic Range) setting to record a video against strong back light or in conditions where the contrast is sharp. Video HDR compensates for the loss of detail and produces a picture that is representative of both dark and bright areas.

This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.

Metering

This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the amount of light striking the image you want to capture.

Center

Adjusts the exposure to the centre of the image.

Average

Calculates the exposure based on the amount of light striking the whole image.

Spot

Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the image that you want to capture.

This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.

Microphone

Select whether to pick up the surrounding sound when recording videos.

Flash

Use the flash light to record videos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a backlight. The video flash icon is only available on the video camera screen. Note that the video quality can sometimes be better without a light even if lighting conditions are poor.
