Still camera settings overview

Scene recognition

Normal

Picture effect

Apply effects to photos.

Scene selection

Use a pre-programmed scene type to quickly set the camera for common situations.

Sweep Panorama

Use this setting to take wide-angle, panoramic photos. Just press the camera key and move the camera steadily from one side to the other.

Front camera

Select the front camera if you want to take self-portrait photos.

Resolution

Choose between several picture sizes and aspect ratios before taking a photo. A photo with a higher resolution requires more memory.

Flash

Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a backlight.

Auto

The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.

Fill flash

Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This removes unwanted dark shadows.

Off

The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the self- timer to avoid blurred photos.

Red-eye reduction

Reduces the red color of eyes when taking a photo.

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.
