Image stabiliser

When taking a photo, it can be difficult to hold the phone steady. The stabiliser helps you by compensating for small movements of the hand.

Metering

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

This setting is only available in Normal capturing mode.

White balance

The white balance setting adjusts the colour balance according to the lighting conditions.

Auto

Adjust the colour balance automatically to the lighting conditions.

Incandescent

Adjusts the colour balance for warm lighting conditions, such as under light bulbs.

Fluorescent

Adjust the colour balance for fluorescent lighting.

Daylight

Adjust the colour balance for sunny outdoor conditions.

Cloudy

Adjust the colour balance for a cloudy sky.

This setting is only available in Normal capturing mode.

Scenes

Use the Scenes feature to quickly set up the camera for common situations using pre-programmed scenes. The camera determines a number of settings for you to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible photo.

Off

The Scenes feature is off and photos can be taken manually.

Portrait

Use for portrait photos. Settings are optimised to give slightly softer skin tones.

Landscape

Use for landscape photos. The camera focuses on distant objects.

Night scene

Use when taking photos at night or in poorly lit environments. Due to long exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.

Night portrait

Use for portrait photos at night or in poorly lit environments. Due to long exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.

Beach and snow

Use in bright environments to avoid underexposed photos.

Sports

Use for photos of fast-moving objects. Short exposure time minimises motion blurring.
