Still camera settings overview

Scene recognition

Normal

Sweep Panorama

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

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.

Landscape

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

Night scene

Use when taking photos at night or in poorly lit environments (without the light or flash). 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 (with or without the light or flash). 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.

Party

Use for indoor photos in poorly lit environments. This scene picks up indoor background lighting or candlelight. Due to long exposure time, the camera must be held still or placed on a stable surface.

Document

Use for photos of text or drawings. Gives the photo increased, sharper contrast.

This setting is only available in Normal capturing mode.

Resolution

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