Smile Shutter™(video)

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

Focus mode

The focus setting controls which part of a video should be sharp. When continuous autofocus is on, the camera keeps adjusting focus so that the area within the white focus frame stays sharp.

Single auto focus

The camera automatically focuses on the selected subject. Continuous autofocus is on.

Face detection

The camera automatically detects up to five human faces, indicated by frames on the screen. The camera automatically focuses on the nearest face. You can also select which face to focus on by tapping it on the screen. When you tap the camera screen, a yellow frame shows which face is selected and in focus. Face detection cannot be used for all scene types. Continuous autofocus is on.

Object tracking

When you select an object by touching it in the viewfinder, the camera tracks it for you.

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 that you want to capture.

Centre

Adjust the exposure to the centre of the image.

Average

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

Spot

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

Video stabiliser

When recording a video, it can be difficult to hold the device steady. The stabiliser helps you by compensating for small movements of the hand.

Microphone

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

The preview of the video appears after you shoot it.
