Self-timer

With the self-timer you can take a photo without holding the device. Use this function to take self-portraits, or group photos where everyone can be in the photo. You can also use the self-timer to avoid shaking the camera when taking photos.

On (10 s.)

Set a 10-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the photo is taken.

On (2 s.)

Set a 2-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the photo is taken.

Off

The photo is taken as soon as you tap the camera screen.

Smile Shutter™

Use the Smile Shutter™ function to determine what kind of smile the camera reacts to before taking a photo.

HDR

Use the HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting to take a photo against strong back light or in conditions where the contrast is sharp. 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.
